I want to restore our wood floor that's been covered by carpeting for 60 years. I think it's red oak. Some of the wood is splintered and other areas show termite and/or beetle damage, and also water damage Rather than tackle this job myself, i'd like to hire someone. The trouble is everyone's an "expert". I live in Los Angeles and there's lots of contractors to choose from.. Should I hire a contractor accredited with NWFA, (Nat'l Wood Flooring assn.)? Thanks.

check with folks in the neighborhood for a good referral & a chance to
see their work

I did business with this firm ~25 years ago

If Benjamin is still involved... he was pretty much an expert then,
he'll even know more now.

I'd cover the existing floor with laminate. Or hardwood. Certainly less work
and, for the laminate at least, far cheaper.
