I have carpet in my office that we want to replace with hardwoods flooring.. Most of our house has solid hickory hardwoods (3.25", unfinished when put down - no stain), but since its only a 12x12 office/bedroom we want to go the prefinished route..
We dont need anything 'hand scraped' or anything else special..
What should I be looking for when comparing prefinished, solid flooring? most have similar 25yr warranties, with a few having 50 yr - but pricing really varies it seems..
Any recommended mfgs?
would i need hickory 'quarter round' or what other wood would look similar enough
What would you recommend putting down over the plywood subfloor? resin pape or other?
I am thinking I could install it myself (some friends have a nailer) - am i crazy for thinking this? I have access to different saws needed to make it fit
From looking online it appears the cost would be between $4 and $5.50/ft - depending on mfg and width
thanks for any ideas/suggestions
