This is something we have wanted to do for years. We renovated our kitchen two years ago (new granite counters and backsplash, new lighting, new sink, faucet & disposal, appliances, and exhaust fan. Once we were done, we were done-figured we would do the floors later. Once we decided to list, it became a priority. We have yellow southern pine wide plank floors-they were in pretty rough shape. They were marked up quite a bit, had black watermarks, and were yellowed from area rugs. We had several estimates, but ended up going with the recommendation from one of the realtors we met with. We had plans to go away for Spring vacation, which was perfect since we had to be out of the house for five days. Before we left, we had to clear out all of the furniture. We have hardwood in the entry, pantry, bedroom, closet, kitchen, dining area, and living area in front of fireplace, so it took some work!
Before:
When we got home from vacation, we were in awe of the beauty! They did a fabulous job! Before putting furniture back, I did a thorough top to bottom cleaning-dust galore. They did cover everything, but the dust is so fine that it's impossible to keep it all clean.
When we walked through the door, our jaws literally dropped. The floors were absolutely beautiful-shiny & just gleaming. No more yellowing, black marks, or dents.
