"Great communication, quality work, would recommend. Ken was easy to work with. The communication was great throughout the process and he was honest about our options. The pricing was reasonable as well. The refinished floors look beautiful and the new hardwood looks great as well. My only complaint would be that they didn't fill in the nail holes in the new hardwood so I had to go back and do that myself. We are very happy with the floors and would use them again."
~ Chris from Crofton, MD

"We had the most wonderful experience with FloorGem. My husband and I knew very little about refinishing our floors. Ken was so knowledgeable and helpful. He explained all of our options and the benefits of each. The project was completed on time and on budget. There were no surprises. I couldn't believe how clean our house was when we returned. There was very little dust and the floors look absolutely amazing! We can't thank Ken and his team enough!"
~ Jess from Catonsville, MD

"FloorGem did a great job. The floors look great! They returned the following day to be sure we were satisfied."
~ Kelly from Columbia, MD

"Ken is wonderful. He gave very helpful advice about my project, even when it meant not doing a piece of work. The bamboo floor his guys installed is lovely, and very well done. I only gave four stars instead of five because the tile installer was not as much of an expert as the wooden floor installers were. I would certainly recommend this company."
~ Susan from Washington, DC

Cork Flooring: Is It Right For Your Northern Virginia Home?

Homeowners are hearing more about cork flooring and many wonder if it is right for their home. Understandably so, most people think of a cork and immediately think of the really soft texture and form of a cork board or even a cork in a wine bottle - but is that the same material used in cork flooring?

Cork flooring has been used in commercial and institutional buildings for years due to its resistance to deterioration, as well as for the natural appearance and beauty. When purchasing cork flooring, discuss the options with your flooring company and ask for recommendations on what is best for your home or business.

Not all cork flooring is created equal, and when a substandard cork is used to manufacture the cork flooring planks, the result may be less than optimal. Discuss the differences in cork used in the cork flooring with your flooring specialist; ask about the density of the cork used in the planks, and find out what type of warranty is given with the cork flooring.

Many types of discount cork flooring planks are discounted because they are made with inferior grades of cork, resulting in an inferior quality of product installed in your home. That is not to imply or allude that a homeowner should never purchase cork flooring at a discount, only that the cheapest cork flooring available may not be as high quality as some other varieties available. Again, the difference is a cork flooring product that is on sale or clearance may simply be due to a change in color or style, rather than a discount brand or product being produced from lower quality material to begin with.

To discuss the benefits of cork flooring and whether or not it is right for your Northern Virginia or Baltimore area home, contact the flooring specialists at FloorGem today. Built on the philosophy that customers diverse the best value for their money, FloorGem provides complete home remodeling and flooring services to both commercial and residential customers.
