About Katonah's Katonah Home Improvement

Are you looking to sand and refinish hardwood floors in Katonah NY?

It's amazing what a difference refinishing your hardwood flooring can make. Your floors will look brand new and you even have the option to change the color. You can go light, dark, mid tones, or red tones. It can really give your home (or room) a whole new look.

If you have hardwood underneath your carpets, we can restore the beauty of the hardwood underneath. It's amazing what a big difference this can make in your home. And, believe it or not, it is usually less expensive to refinish your floors than to recarpet. Refinishing your wood floors will also improve your home's value and it will be easier to clean and maintain.

At Floor Coverings International, we are a shop at home service. We will bring the "store to your door" so that you can see the flooring and colors in your own home and lighting and color coordinate with your paint colors and decor. When it comes to sanding and refinishing, not only we will help guide you in color selections, but we will also test out a few colors for you on your floor. This is important because every floor is different, so it's best to see what the stain will actually look like on your own floors (rather than a tiny sample).

We offer both the standard refinishing process as well as a dustless sanding system. Dustless sanding costs a bit extra, but many customers feel it's worth it, especially if they have someone with allergies in their household. We offer both oil and water based polyurethane, and we will help you understand the pros and cons on each method.

We are proud of our work, but don't rely on our word...ask our customers! We have won the Angie's list Super Service award 2 years in a row, and you can even check our google reviews online. And, we will gladly provide with a list of over 30 customers to call.

Trends in Carpet Runners - Westchester NY

We've been getting more and more calls for Carpet runners on steps in Westchester County NY. Runners on the steps serve 2 purposes: 1) safety (less likely to trip and easier for pets to go up/down the steps) and 2) decorative (esp if steps can be viewed from the entryway.

Trends:

1) Simpler styles are in and "less is more." Regardless of whether it's a higher quality/fancier runner, simpler designs seem to be winning out. These have both an upscale appearance and importantly don't compete with the area rugs and decor in ohter adjoining rooms (usually the living room and dining room). For example, this pin dot runner is upscale and versatile...and timeless.

2) Contrast the color of the runner vs. the hardwood. Blending on the steps does not work. If you going to add a runner, make it work visually so you celebrate a wonderful duet between the carpet and the steps.

3) Avoid using stair rods. Back in the old days, stair rods were functional - they literally attached the runners and held them in place. Nowadays, these are just decorative (and add to the cost). Most feel they are outdated and pretentious. Also, young kids have a tendency to trip on them, so they are not the safest.

4) Tuck the carpet under the treads for a neat tailored look; avoid waterfall style which looks less upscale and tends to collect more dust. Less skilled installers will sometimes do waterfall style as it is easier, but this style doesn't look as nice and sometime causes a bit more slipping.

When you're ready to explore carpet runners for yout steps in Westchester NY, give The Flooring Girl a call at 914-937-2950 and we'd be happy to "brind the store to your door."

I think this is good sign of things to come.

A week or two ago, I got a call from a customer I met at a home show 2 years ago. She is now "almost" ready to install some new hardwood floors and refinish her existing floors. To make a long story short, life got in the way, and now they are "ready." However, they didn't realize they can't walk on the floors while this is being done, so Part 1 will take place in sthe spring and Part II in early summer when they will be away.

Last night, I also got a call from a past customer I had met at a home show. We had done a nice area rug tone on tone pattern with a border. They had recently moved into their home, and couldn't afford to do all of the work they wanted to due to all the moving expenses, but now they are ready.

Addendum - Just got an email from a 3rd customer from over a year ago who is looking to finally refinish her floors. They keep popping up.

I'm so excited about both of these prospects. I'm excited that they remembered me and called. (And, both were surprised that I remembered them immediately including where they lived and what we were looking at...thank goodness I have a good membory).

But, there's another reason I'm excited...it means that the "pent up demand" that people were talking about a couple of years ago, is starting to come to fruition. There are definitley things that so many have put off due to the economy, and while some items are definitely luxuries, there comes a time when people need to take action.

This is the beginning of good things to come. And, this is a wake up call, that I need to do a bit more marketing to my past and open customers. It's been on my mind the last couple of weeks, but I really need to do it now..by the end of the month.
