Hardwood floors are known for their durability and longevity. From time to time, however, it may be necessary to replace them. The residential and commercial flooring professionals at Carolina Wood Floors have over 25 years' experience serving the Winston-Salem, North Carolina, area. Hardwood floors are their business, and they’re happy to share some insights.

Below, CWF discusses three signs it's time to replace hardwood floors:

• They've Been Refinished So Many Times You've Lost Count: For all its sturdiness, hardwood is still a natural element susceptible to the ill effects of chemicals. Hardwood floors that have been refinished numerous times sometimes lose their quality, and the refinishing process simply stops working. Though there is no hard-and-fast rule as to how many times floors can be refinished, once you hit three or four, consider new flooring installation and call Carolina Wood Floors.
• They've Sustained Water Damage: Hardwood floors don't buckle easily under light or even moderate water damage. If the damage is severe enough, however, the floors will exhibit some telltale signs that replacement is in order. These signs include warping, cracking, and peeling. The experts at CWF will have your water-damaged hardwood replaced quickly, efficiently, and affordably.
• They're Old: After decades of use, a hardwood floor just might wear out. Imperfections, nicks, warping, or buckling may become evident. This often happens in high-traffic areas or with softer types of hardwood. CWF carries a full line of replacement flooring that will exceed your expectations and make you excited to show off your beautiful hardwood floors again.
