Is the floor sound? ok to walk on etc., If yes just looks bad, then you can fill in cracks with wood putty not joint compound. then best/easy would be to prime/paint. they now make lots of paint for floors. also where do you live? is it moist, hot, dry, etc. that will need to be figured into type of paint. check with local hardware like ace or true value. if do not want to paint, you can stain, use wood putty in the same color or you can add stain to putty first, darkening putty, fill cracks, than stain all over. dont forget to use sealer after. good luck

Q:I am about to redo the flooring in one of my bedrooms. I will be storing scuba equipment in this room and it will also be a computer room. What would be the best flooring to put in here. I don't think carpet , ceramic tile or hardwood floors would be a good choice because some of this equipment is heavy and could crack the ceramic tile and sometimes this gear may be a little bit wet so carpet is out .Any idea's?

good thought!! i presently ripped up the carpet in my bedorom so i'm going to have the hardwood flooring for a similar reason(2 pets). I placed down a piece rug interior the places the place my bare ft could hit the floor and it works super.

Q:We are redoing a house and all the flooring had to be ripped up because of animal smells& stains(this is a fore closer we bought hopefully to retire in)anyway dining rm has beautiful med dk hardwood on it, and it is open floor plan,thinking of cork for kitchen, any body used cork? how does it wear? difficulty in putting down? And how about linoleum, I have heard it has come along way since the 60s. Thanks for your time.

Cork is hypoallergenic as has a natural substance in it that makes it resistant to mold and insects. Cork is a sustainable environmentally friendly product and has a great appearance.I would phone a reputable flooring store and make sure you have someone that has experience install it. It is a personal preference of to what you choose, my friend loves her linoleum as she finds it so easy to care for. It looks like tile and I have seen people sitting at her table reach down and touch it. They have very realistic patterns. Hope this helps.

Q:Our kitchen floor is weakened from splashes and spills where we wash the dishes. How to repair?

Without knowing the type of home you are in, I suspect it isn't on a slab. It may be that the sub floor is MDF, and would take quite awhile, given any finish floor over it, to weaken from splashes and spills. With all due respect they should be wiped up. You also don't state the length of time the situation has existed, which could make a major difference in the cause. If you have access from under the kitchen, certainly begin your search there, as one other answer suggests, especially where any plumbing might also be in close proximety to the SOFT spot. To create any significant damage would take a considerable amount of water SOAKING over an extended period of time unless the finish floor isn't sealed, or if the substrate is MDF. Without knowing the age of the house, or duration of the softening, or the substrate for the finished floor, or the material of the finished floor, you may have easy options or a larger repair/replacement problem.

Q:My dog slobbers a lot on the kitchen floor when we are out. We come home to lots of very watery slobber on the floor. Our current linoleum flooring is old and needs replacement. I would like something in style but it needs to withstand the slobber. Thanks for any suggestions.

Q:I'm in the upstairs area of a building and when I lift weights the floors squeak horrindously. I'm only here for a few weeks and I'd like to know if there's a mat or something that I can put on the floor.

the reason why the floor squeaks is because the subfloor has come loose from the joists. You can add more screws to the the flooring in the loose spots, that usually does the trick. Tool Belt Diva
