A: Hardwood flooring can come from ash, bamboo, beech, birch, cherry, elm, maple, oak, poplar and teak trees. It can come unfinished or pre-finished.
Q: Why do you test for moisture?

Q: How are hardwood floors environmentally friendly?
A: By refinishing your existing wood floors, you are revitalizing a sustainable product. Hardwood floors are one of the only features of your business that can be renovated again and again. Queens Hardwood Flooring can install “eco-friendly” flooring like bamboo, or wood that has been harvested from Forest Stewardship Council woods. Other options include using an underlayment that is made up of post-industrial recycled content, applying a non-toxic flooring adhesive, and using pre-finished wood that has been treated with a “green” varnish.
