| We have to rip up very old carpets (from the 70's) & get new floors. I have no idea what to get or where to start.
Our floors are horrible, if you go down the basement & look up - you will see pipes, wires etc. then the floor from upstairs. I want to be prepared before I have someone come in & look at these floors. It is an old row house, over 100 years old. I really do not know what the old floors are? Pine maybe?? I don't know anything about wood..... The basement is a cement basement. Has anyone gone thru this experience in an old house? Any advice, tips? We have cats. So I would need something durable. I want hardwood not laminate. I would like to go green & do bamboo BUT I would like to hear others comments about it. ANY suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I really need help. I live in Phila. THANK YOU!!!!!! |
