Q:How do I sand the floor? and any jobs offer in sanding floors

Your asking how to do it and looking for a job doing it simultaneously? Good luck. Check with your local flooring companies.

Q:I have Pergo flooring in my kitchen. a couple pieces in the middle have chipped. any suggestions on how to go about fixing this?? do i need to completely pull up the flooring.? looking for a trick of the trade. :-)thanks in advance

The material is a laminate. It is like trying to repair a kitchen counter top. It cannot be done. The easiest thing would be to put an area rug over the chips.

Q:Thinking of getting cork flooring for my finished basement, time for an update, anyone have this? Are there pros and cons you've experienced? Thanks!

Cork flooring isn't a new concept. These floors have been used in the United States since around the turn of the century. Cork flooring is environmentally friendly and cork is considered a renewable and sustainable natural resource. These floors can be a little expensive and their installed cost per square foot can be close to a good quality ceramic tile floor.

Q:I have wood floors in my apartment and am putting a few coats of polyurethane on them, to protect them and make them shiny. Question- does the (water based Home Depot polyurethane) fill the little cracks between the wood slices so that the floor is essentially one smooth surface?Thanks!

Yes, put a least 4 coats for a perfect finish, no need to sand between coats.

Q:Can jacking up a floor be used to create more living space or a whole new level between two existing floors? Is this possible when trying to add an extra floor to your house? Thanks.

Is this a hypothetical question? Did you mean to ask Why would someone put jacks under a floor? You do not jack up a floor in normal circumstances. If the house is tilting, perhaps due to the foundation settling, then people sometimes put jacks under the floor beams to restore it to level. Sometimes workmen will put jacks under a floor beam while they replace whatever is under it. And if they are moving a house then of course they have to jack up the entire house to put wheels under it. No, it is not normal to jack up a house to build more living space under it.

Q:Real hardwood flooring or laminate? Why?We bought real hardwood and I'm starting to think it may have been a bad choice because I'm worried about our furniture moving and scratching it.

real hardwood, hands down. Your furniture isn't an issue if you put protective pads on the feet of all of them. Chairs like kitchen or dining room can be outfitted with those nylon buttons. Large chairs, ottomans, sofas, coffee tables, etc., can be turned over and heavy duty felt pads attached to teh feet. I have hardwood in my entire house and the only problems have been from heavy falling objects denting the floor. But never furnishings or shoes. Laminate is cheap crap and nobody wants it.

Q:How often do you clean your flooring and what do you clean it with?

minimum once in a week is must for floor cleaning . mild detergent is ok for floor cleaning . otherwise floor cleaning solutions available in the market

Q:I need help finding out if the floor in the building I work at is capable of supporting a restaurant.I know an engineer should be hired, but my boss is an architect who thinks he knows.The question comes in two parts-1- 2 1/2" x 12" (actual) joists on 16" centers, 16' 6" long, made of 100+ yr. old western wood (presumably San Francisco area lumber). Are they capable of supporting 100 lbs. sq ft. load?2- If a wall (theoretically non load-bearing, but floor to ceiling, with two floors of apartments above) were put on the floor, parallel to the joist, would the joist underneath it need to be reinforced?If it makes any difference, the floor will be 4" x 4" ceramic tile, on two layers of 3/4" ply.

This is something that needs to be visually inspected. What it comes down to is, you would need permits to make this conversion and so the county is going to impose requirements. If you are serious about this project you should consider finding out what those requirements will be. If they include a structural engineer's drawing and approval, then you might as well get that ball rolling. I don't think you can go on anything anyone can tell you here. Sure it sounds like it has the potential of being adequate, but there is also potential for additional support needing to be added below, such as a beam perpendicular across the center on posts. Consider the combined weight of occupancy and service equipment on the entire floor. Look for any signs of stress, rot, infestation, water damage, trades over drilling, sagging, splitting, etc. These will be the determining factors. Chances are good that you have adequate support but my opinion on the matter is useless to you.

Q:Considering using a large floor cloth to cover my wall-to-wall carpeting that I hate. I just want to drape it over the existing wall-to-wall. Where would you get floor cloth & exactly what is it made out of? I know you can paint it if you want to. Where would I buy this item. Can you get a piece of floor cloth 11 x 15 feet? Any information is appreciated.

I know they make floor cloth to go over solid flooring, and you use a spray adhesive to keep it from slipping. I haven't heard of any for carpet. You could buy a different color carpet remnant from one of the box stores, that usually runs around $100.00 for the size you need. You could also get a few area rugs and place them over your existing carpet. It would look cool, and be extra padded for your feet!
