Installing a hard wood flooring is not necessarily a complex process and in the hands of the right Minneapolis area contactor can be quite simple and efficiently done. Once you decide on the kind of wood that you want for your flooring, decide if you want further designs or finishes to your floors. Wooden floorings these days aren't just plain and no frills -- they have borders, and come in a variety of finishes. For instance, you can choose to have a stunning medallion in the middle of the room or maybe a distressed finish or inlay that will add to the charm of the floor. Does your Minneapolis area contractor have the right kind of experience for the job?
Make sure your Minneapolis, MN area hardwood flooring contractor is licensed to practice in your state, and has accreditation from the proper associations in his niche. The hardwood flooring contractor you're considering must be professional, and his company must have a physical brick and mortar address. His workers should be licensed too, and should be neat and professional looking. They should have access to a company van, and should arrive at your home with all the gear necessary for the flooring installation. The contractor and any sub contractors who work under him must be insured. There are no two ways about this. If he is not insured and there is an accident on your property involving one of the workers, you could be held liable for damages.
Your Minneapolis, Minnesota area contractor must have many years of experience in the business. He should b experienced not only in installing the kind of flooring that you need, but must also be proficient in any type of other specialized processes that you need, like borders or inlays. He must be able to offer you an estimated budget for the project, and should be able to give you a time frame for the project. He should have plans in place for disposal of waste that is left over as a result of the wooden flooring project, and should have dust containment systems in place. Ask if he offers warranties for his products and services. If you have doubts, go to the local chapter of the Better Business Bureau in your city, and make enquiries there.
We need to have Oak flooring installed in the Master Bedroom to match closely what apppears to have been installed in the late 80's.

While moving a piece of furniture, a sharp piece gouged across a few (5-6) of the hardwood floor boards. These need repaired or replaced, but need to match invisibly. Perhaps swap with boards from inside a closet? Boards are honey oak(?) each about 2.5" wide
