Question:

hi i am writing you from massena ny and i listen to your saturday a.m. show often..(good stuff)i recently purchased a home with hardwood floors..the traffic areas are in need of touching up while the rest of the rooms floors are ok...can i just do touch-ups or will i have to do the whole thing?

Answer:

I doubt that you'll be able to satisfactorly match the colours. The old has also aged and that colour will be hard to follow.


In the interests of retaining credibility and in fairness to all, I cannot recommend prices, people nor companies for various projects.

Remember, even if you don’t do your own work around the house have to hire someone, you put yourself at a great advantage when you can intelligently discuss a project with the various trades people.
