lbray Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I will be closing on a home in the September/October time frame and would like to have wood flooring installed. Can anyone recommend the best way to go about doing this? For example, I've thought about doing the Home Depot/Lowe's route, but my sense is that there is likely a better way. Also, I'd appreciate opinions on types of wood. I'd like something nice looking, but durable. I like how bamboo looks, but from my research, it seems to not be so durable. Lastly, I'd like to investigate the possibility of doing some built-cabinets and bookshelves. Can anyone recommend a person or business in Houston that does this? Many thanks!

Answer to 2.) is that any "custom" remodeler in town will do something like that, much the way that they build custom kitchen cabinets. You can find names and numbers of people in your part of town at myghba.com. Talk to at least 4-5 companies, prices will vary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
