specialty Floor Medic engages in it would be restoration of
older antiqued hardwood floors. So you've found a home that
was built in the early part of the 20th century? Chances are
you may have some valuable treasure waiting to be discovered
under the old carpet, linoleum, or vinyl flooring.
Older homes utilized old growth timber, now
extremely difficult to obtain. How can you tell if it's old
growth? Check the floor. Do you see longer lengths compared to
what you see in new model homes of today? Old growth flooring,
depending on the species also has a finer growth ring pattern
to it. Other jewels discovered by many lucky homeowners have
been older parquet patterns or quarter sawn hardwoods. (shown
