You'll learn how to evaluate your flooring to understand whether it's time to refinish or replace, along with tips on replacement materials.
About this Event

Over time, flooring undergoes wear and degradation that often happens gradually and can be easily overlooked. This one-hour class will guide you in recognizing the key warning signs that a floor is due for replacement and/or refinishing, and help you understand when repairs are no longer sufficient.

By the end of this class, you’ll be able to assess whether a surface still has life left in it or if it's time to plan for replacement. You’ll also learn what factors to consider when choosing replacement materials that match both design and durability needs. This class is 18+ only.

About the instructor, Mark Baldwin: Mark owns a local flooring company that focuses mainly on residential remodels.
