"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

Going With Bamboo Flooring In Your Southern Maryland Home

Desirable for its appearance, durability and sustainability, bamboo flooring is spreading like wildfire throughout Southern Maryland. Homeowners have quickly realized the advantages of bamboo flooring - the advantages for their Southern Maryland home and for the environment of the world. Since bamboo is a sustainable resource flooring, this floor covering make perfect sense when looking for a product that will not only look good in your home, but will not leave you feeling guilty about your choice either.

Bamboo grows at approximately two-feet per day; while this sound fast, it really hits home when you consider an oak tree takes more than 120 years to reach full maturity. This environmentally friendly floor covering is a wise choice for your Southern Maryland home, no matter how you look at it.

The unique characteristics of bamboo is unlike any other floor covering, and this is even more true when you choose to use hand-scraped bamboo flooring. Bamboo flooring is built using thin strip of bamboo put together to create a plank of wood. Placing each plank - either vertically or horizontally - side-by-side provides a floor covering that is beautiful and resilient.

Bamboo flooring can be installed as a floating floor or a fixed floor, depending on what you choose. A floating floor is the typical installation for do-it-yourself projects, as this method requires little extra work and allows a bit of forgiveness. A fixed bamboo floor simply means each piece of flooring is secured in place, typically with nails or adhesive.

If you decide you would rather have your bamboo flooring fixed in place, this should be left to professional flooring installers. Professional installers have the experience to fully understand the intricacies of installing a bamboo floor. As each piece of flooring is nailed, stapled or glued in place, if an error is made, removal of a large portion of the flooring is typically required to repair the damage.
