Solid Real Wood
Finishing and installing southern pine, real solid wood, is much different than gluing down some laminate or engineered floors. From time to time, we must challenge some misconceptions that our homeowners have from either reading online or getting it directly from someone trying to sell them something other than real wood. We also run into those who have no idea that there are differences in the types of southern pine that not all southern yellow pine floors are the byproduct of some lumberyard.[/vc_column_text][title type=”h3″]Site finish, pre-finished and finish to order[/title][vc_column_text]Prefinished versus site finished is a decision about more than just “doing it yourself” or buying prefinished.
