Getting new floors is exciting. Figuring out what you’re supposed to do with your refrigerator before we show up? Maybe a little less exciting. 😂

We know there are a LOT of little questions that come up before a flooring project begins, especially if you’ve never had your floors installed or refinished before. Can you stay home? How much dust should you expect? What happens to your old flooring? And what about those baseboards?

We’d much rather answer those questions ahead of time than have you wondering once the work begins.

Swipe through for five things we want every Fairhaven Floors homeowner to know before project day. And if you’re looking for even more information, we’ve put together a full FAQ and project checklist on our website to help you feel prepared from the start.

Hardwood floors can last for decades, but what you do between refinishing projects matters more than you might think.

And sometimes, it’s the things that seem harmless that can cause problems over time. The steam mop you’ve always used. The cleaner under the sink. Sliding a piece of furniture over a few feet.

After 30+ years of working with hardwood, we’ve seen what helps floors hold up and what can shorten the life of a beautiful finish.

Swipe through for a few of our hardwood floor care DOs + DON’Ts, and save this one for the next time you’re cleaning your floors.

Want the full list? You’ll find our complete hardwood floor care guide on the Fairhaven Floors website.

Over the years, as a flooring contractor serving Bellingham, WA and Whatcom County, we’ve seen homeowners make the same flooring mistakes again and again. The good news? They’re all avoidable.

Here are three more we see all the time:
❌ Choosing a floor based only on appearance.
The right hardwood flooring depends on how you live. Pets, kids, moisture, and daily wear all play a role in finding the best fit for your home.
❌ Using the wrong cleaning products.
Not every cleaner is safe for hardwood floors. The wrong products can dull the finish or leave behind residue that builds up over time.
❌ Assuming every scratch means it’s time for new floors.
Many hardwood floors can be repaired or refinished instead of replaced, saving both time and money.

A little expert guidance upfront can save you time, money, and frustration down the road. Have a flooring question you’ve been wondering about? Leave it below, we’re a local Bellingham, WA flooring company and we’d be happy to help!
