Quick Step stands behind its products and offers a limited lifetime warranty on residential flooring, and a 5 year commercial warranty on certain commercial flooring. Both residential and commercial floors are made in the USA and have earned the North American Laminate Flooring Association (NALFA) certification seal. The seal is only given to laminate floors that pass a series of rigorous tests that evaluate aspects such as overall quality, strength, and durability.

Quick Step currently has fourteen collections of laminate flooring. Below are some examples of the collections with a brief summary.

Quality standards
All most all of the flooring made by the company is made of high quality virgin wood that is hand crafted. Expert European artisans hand scrape the wood to create the signature distressed appearance. When you  buy the flooring, you are also assured of the fact that the flooring is hand sanded and hand waxed to create the one of a kind oiled flooring effects that can be seen in vintage floors of churches and monasteries. Apart from the hand scraping and distressing, the artisans also hand sand the wood and then smoke it. This step converts the tannins inside the wood into darker shades to mimic age spots. Usually different areas of wood contain different amounts of tannin resulting in patches of dark and light colored woods. This is one of the most authentic methods of aging hardwood flooring to create a distressed or vintage appearance. After smoking, certain kinds of wood are brushed to bring out more accents in the wood. The company creates over twenty different kinds of hardwood flooring varieties that can literally fit into any background and home.

Brands and styles
The DuChateau Floors company now offers ten different brands and style of flooring that you can choose from. Their most popular ranges are The Terra Collection, the Riverside Collection, the Chateau Collection, the Vernal Collection and the Fine Sawn Collection. Almost all the ranges carry original engineered wood flooring with a large variety of wood finishes that you can choose from. The DuChateau Company has a complete catalog of products online that you can choose from and they also offer maintenance oils , white maintenance oils, colored oils and special parquet cleaners to ensure that your flooring remains up to date.

Compare quotes- Always ensure that you check with two or three dealers. Dealers place additional charges on their goods to ensure that they do get a percentage on the sale. When you get two or three quotes you can compare rates to ensure that you are getting what you paid for. Don’t be afraid to bargain too as dealers can give you a good discount while cutting their percentage.

Auction sites- There are online sites where you get cheap flooring at discounted rates when you bid for it. Decorators who have extra pieces will list them at the site for sale along with salvage yard dealers and scrap yard owners. But do watch out as you might get cheated. There is no guarantee that the hardwood floors you get from bid sites are authentic or even of the best quality. The hardwood floors might be of poor quality and damaged. If you can check out the goods, do so to ensure that you are getting what you paid for.

Local home improvement stores- There are many local stores which will sell you the hardwood floors for discounted rates. This because they don’t have to pay shipping charges, and you will also be able to get discounted installation rates on the hardwood floors you have chosen. Try chain stores who will not have a large selection but they do stock in bulk.  These stores will offer you discounts for your bulk order but they might not offer free installation on the hardwood floors.

Demolition companies- Most demolition companies will have large stocks of scrap wood that you can choose from your home. But you will not be able to get matched sections and you will have to refinish the wood and install it yourself.

There are many more locations where you can buy cheap hardwood floors online for yourself. But do ensure that you are getting quality for your money.

These old classics are worked upon Walnut wood and are coated with Polyurethane, UV Ceramic, UV Oil and Aluminum Oxide. They have an 8-ply engineered construction and the planks are available in multiple width options.

The variety of shades which is provided in this category are hereunder.
• Sand. Sand 106 is a neutral shade of timber with all the lighter tones. But the interesting thing is the deep aging lines and patches which reveal its vast history.
• Caramel. The shade resembles the burnt caramel with just a tint of olive in the background. The shading in each plank shows how old it is and the nail and line impressions are appreciable.
• Rich Amber 116. This particular shade is a rich hue of burgundy plus amber. It gives a very formal look and even through the dark shade the wood impressions are visible which have been building for years. The Rich Amber has dark markings embedded in the wood which give an impression of seeds fallen from trees on the ground.
• True Brown 117. If you have been looking for a truly brown shade to meet the décor of your house, you will not get anything closer than True Brown.
• Dark Cavern 124. It is a very dark shade and like the name suggests it shows depth resembling the inside of a cavern.

Maximus Collection, truly is a work of art carrying a huge array of magnificent and marvelous colors of wood which have been painstakingly derived from North and South American forests. This rich timber is combined with Russian Birch and Asian Maple to produce something that is long-lasting and surpasses all standards of uniqueness and top quality.

For ease of fitting and to gain a flawless installation, the 9?16″ thick and 4¾-5″ wide panels are produced with beveled edges, thereby revealing no imperfection and gaps within the fitting. Like other Max Windsor’s products the top layering is protected by many numbers of Bona UV finish to ensure that the finish lasts for years. Moreover there is a backing of 25-year Limited Wear Warranty so you don’t need to think twice.

As the forests from which these rich woods are made available are carefully maintained, Max Windsor products are definitely in line with the green concept that everyone is following these days. This particular product is also certified by the FSC.

Maximus Collection like the Outback Collection is available in two surface textures. One is Hand-Scraped and the other one is Smooth. If you are looking for that feel of the country side or prefer a very original appearance of the wood, then the hand-scraped collection is for you to choose from. On the other hand if you want to utilize this rich collection with a modern layout then the smooth finish is for you.

Maximus Hand-Scraped Collection includes Santos Mahogany which is rich blend of beautiful shades of deep brown. The color variations in adjacent planks are adjusted with such harmony that they appear to be part of a beautiful landscape. If you want to feel the whole forest come alive, then this is for you.
Moving on to the next shade in the Hand-Scraped Collection, we have the Brazillian Cherry. This one is an exotic color of chocolate cooked with butter scotch and the flavor is just the same as well as it has the similar soothing effect on senses as does the chocolate. The deep veins which run through the panels of American Walnut show what a rich heritage this one has.

Orange county is home to provenza hardwood, but it seems most dealers are over charging all over southern California. One of southern California’s oldest dealers, Avery Hardwood Carpet & Tile (been in business over 14 years (verified) and supposedly longer than that sells provenza hardwood and has it installed in their show room so you can see, look, feel and even step on it.  The thing we like about these guys is that the reviews are very honest.

Apparently not much selling happens. As one review says, “It is what it is”. And we like that.

We conducted a little test and called 4 OC dealers (and a total of 10 California provenza hardwood dealers) and asked for pricing on different provenza hardwood products.

Avery Hardwood Carpet and Tile had an average savings of 9% and was actually #2 on the cheapest of the dealers we called. The other dealer, while 0.01c cheaper than Avery  on their provenza hardwood products, charged over 15% more for installation, and yelled at us when we asked if they had it in stock!

• You will need professional nailers that will attach the wood flooring to the underlying support. Instead of using hand drillers, you can rent and use floor nailer that will do the job for you. A few companies will also provide you pre-drilled wood pieces that you use instead of spending time on drilling. If you don’t like nailers, you can use manual and air assisted staplers that will work much better. Professionals recommend the use of a stapler on Provenza floors to prevent damaging the material.
• Check the underlying support for squeaks. Once you have laid the Provenza floors, you cannot do anything to treat the underlying floor. Ensure that you check the underlying support thoroughly to prevent any wood from rubbing against it and each other. It’s not easy to find problem areas but proper floor preparation means you will be able to prevent the problem completely.
• Keep about half and inch of space between the floors and the walls. You can reduce the half inch to less to prevent seepage and dirt accumulation but you will have a slight space. This will allow the flooring to expand in case of humidity, climate and weather. Problems can arise with any kind of hardwood flooring that has not been used properly. For example, if you engineered flooring that was not attached properly, then it will shrink away from its backing. When you walk on the same spot, there will be clicking sound. But this problem does not arise with Provenza floors that are securely attached to the floor with tongue and groove attachments.
• Ensure that your professional Provenza floors layer has all his tools. They will need power saws, manual or air assisted floor nailers, or staplers, carpenter’s squares. Power jigsaws, and saber saws, table saws, and fine tooth handsaws for cutting down wood panels.

Before you start installing the Provenza floors, read through all the instructions provided. This will make sure that you do the process properly and get the best Provenza floors possible.

Quality
The wood floors that are created by DuChateau Floors are much better than conventional hardwood flooring. The company tries to retain the original method of installing and making hardwood floors which means you do get quality for the kind of money you are paying out.  The original antique look is created on the hardwood flooring with the help of expertly trained technicians. The entire process is labor intensive and exacting to create the right kind of distressed wood look that you want.  You will be able to find top quality, planks of hardwood that are treated, sanded, and hard waxed, oiled, and brushed to create the same look as you will find in old churches and monasteries. The original antique vintage look is not easy to create but DuChateau Floors has several varieties that you can choose from.

What makes DuChateau Floors so unique?
Most ordinary hardwood flooring companies created laminated wood flooring that has been placed on an engineered background. The wood is then surface treated and covered with a sealant coat to protect it. But DuChateau Floors does not follow the same manufacturing process. The wood floors are created but they are distressed by hand to create a time worn look and then hand waxed with hard waxes. All DuChateau Floors are hand distressed by expert European artisans who can mimic years of traffic artfully on the flooring without weakening or damaging the flooring completely.  Another major difference with other manufactureres is that the DuChateau Floors company uses a hard wax oil that produces the distinctive finish on the floors. Instead of using a sealant coat, each floor strip is covered with specially made secret non-polluting, non-toxic, ZERO VOC polish that is free of synthetic biocides, and preservatives. As the product is also benzene free, it does not add to indoor pollution levels. This special wax oil allows the oil to penetrate into the wood creating the spectacular look and shine while allowing the wax to sit on the surface and protect the wood flooring.

There are many more processing techniques that are used by DuChateau Floors to create their one of a kind hardwood floors.  Do take a look at their online catalog to get more information on styles and colors.

Classic flooring- Wood flooring has been around for several years now. But the flooring that is now used in modern homes is completely different. You will be able to find resourced flooring from different locations like scrap heaps and lumber yards. Recycled versions of woods are also available that you can use like wood vats, whiskey barrels, signage, and even used bamboo trees. But this will cost you much more and you will have to refinish the flooring to ensure that it fits into the surroundings of your home. Classic flooring is also fraught with other problems like pests and colors.  Another frequent problem is quantity as you might not be able to get adequate amounts of the flooring. Treat all the classic flooring that you use for hardwood floorings with anti-pest treatments to ensure that it lasts.  As a far better alternative, you should choose pre-made flooring like engineered flooring; completely hardwood flooring and even laminated versions of hardwood flooring that will last longer.

Allergies- wall to wall carpeting is one of the reasons why people land up colds and allergies. But with hardwood floors you will not have to worry about all that. Well made hardwood floors will last for a long time and fit perfectly with no seams. This will ensure that no dirt gets stuck under the seams leading to allergies.  You will also find the flooring far easier to clean as compared to carpeting.  You won’t need to use chemicals to clean the hardwood floors as all you need to plain water and soap. A few hardwood floors will not require even water for cleaning

Softer than tile- Most hardwood floors are extremely durable and long lasting. Installing the flooring is very easy as you will require a foam backing under the flooring to keep it stable and in place. This ensures that the flooring smooth and easier to walk on. Hardwood floors also are warmer as compared to tiles in winter and they are much more pleasant to walk on.  You can choose to use rugs on the flooring to make it look better but it looks just as good without rugs. As a rule of thumb, wood is far springier than tile or ceramics and much more comfortable to walk on

This article can help you out regardless of what Provenza Flooring product you are looking at. Provenza African Plains, Provenza Metallics, Provenza Old World, etc.

• Use the right subfloor for your Provenza hardwood flooring. If you have a concrete base, you will have to engineered flooring rather than the solid hardwood flooring. There are many reasons for this but one major reason is that the engineered flooring tiles are much more stable as compared to solid hardwood floors. Even after you have prepared the subfloor, you have to check it for squeaks and leveling. There are several ways to check for rises and falls and squeaks but you will have to get a professional to do the job for you.  You can deal with small rises and falls yourself by pulling up the subfloor and planning it down in a single spot. But do get an expert opinion from a professional before you start laying your Provenza hardwood flooring.
• Laying down the very first Provenza hardwood strip is really essential.  If the very first strip is laid down right, all the other strips dovetail together into one single unit. But if you don’t lay the first one properly, gaps and spaces develop. You can deal with this Provenza hardwood gap problem by using blind nailing.
• If you have fixed furniture inside your home, you have to install the flooring around it. If you don’t have furniture installed, get it done right away and then proceed to put in the flooring. 
• After installing the Provenza hardwood flooring, you will have to sand, finish and buff the Provenza hardwood. Each wood strip is individually treated with a clear UV coat to make it resistant to the sun and to stains. But if you keep sanding the floor indiscriminately, it will damage the floor completely. It’s a far better idea to find a professional who will do the job for you.
• Please do not attempt to refinish any stains and defects in the flooring by yourself. This is a job that is far better done by professionals.  For small scratches you can try Poly sealer which will work to seal in the scratch. Anything else and it will damage the underlying wood surface.

Provenza hardwood flooring is very easy to take care of but you do need to be careful. If the installation is done properly, the Provenza hardwood flooring can last for a lifetime.

As you may or may not know, the term “lawyer” when it comes to loan modification over the past few years, in California at least, was a sure fire way to get scammed. Fact remains is lawyers that had no experience in court finally had a way to make money without having any real experience. Charge for a service they can’t guarantee. How great is that.

For the lawyers, it was very good.

Don’t get me wrong. I know many law firms that in fact tried to help (and have successfully helped most if not all of their clients), but I know a lot more that were designed to run a loan modification scam from day 1.

Because of the loan modification scams things have changed a bit.

Its now, and has been, illegal to charge up front for a loan modification – especially from an attorney.
If somebody has charged you up-front, even with words like “trust account”, make sure to report them to the DRE and/or California state bar  ASAP!

Free samples- It’s very difficult to get an idea of the exact color of the hardwood flooring when you are buying online. But the site Max Windsor offers free samples that are really ideal for color matching. Take a look at the site and check out their free sample section. They currently have over thirty different samples listed at the site. You can choose up to three different samples and then fill in your details and the company will send you the free samples. Max Windsor does not charge you shipping but additional samples will be charged $5.

Limited warranty- Very few hardwood flooring companies will offer a warranty on their products. But Max Windsor offers a limited warranty on their products. That means you are assured of the quality of the product that you order. If you use the underlying adhesive from Max Windsor, the company will also guarantee that the hardwood floor will remain flat and normal. The company also offers a whopping 25-Year Limited Finish Warranty on their Bona UV Aluminum Oxide surface finish of select flooring.

Certified back up materials- The flooring from Max Windsor is authentic and from the best kind of wood to make the tightest seams for your home floor. The company also offers distressed laminates, hand scraped tiles and flooring, and even moldings that you can combine to create the ideal look for your home. They also have under layments that are used to ensure the best fit of the hardwood flooring. To ensure that the flooring is protected, you will be able to get sealants and cleaners specially made for your variety of flooring.

Max Windsor has a complete selection of everything that can be used to set a hardwood floor in your home. When you are ordering products for your Orange County home, ensure that your contractor gets the entire set from the company to get the best results. Ensure that you find the best woods from the collection by contacting local dealers who can give you an estimate and accurate advice.

Types of wood flooring- Provenza Flooring offers hardwood floors that are both solid as well as engineered. Solid flooring is made up completely of wood with no backing. These floors are the best but they do tend to warp if you don’t take care of them. Engineered flooring on the other hand is composed of strips of hardwood that is stuck to a backing. This backing makes the flooring stronger and much more resistant to warping. You can choose any stained hardwood variety but most bedrooms can also use special humidity resistant hardwood floors that are treated to last for a longer period of time.

Finishing- Most hardwood floors are made at the factory and finished and polished at the factory itself. But a few companies will also offer you an option of completing the tinting at your project or at your home. This ensures that the flooring will exactly match your interiors. It will however take longer to dry and it will generate a little dust. You can opt for refinished floors that are already tinted, sealed and polished. All you have to do is create the backing and the underlying support and install the prepared tiles.

Wood varieties- There are over 22 different varieties of wood hardwood flooring that is offered on the internet and at Provenza floors. The most popular options are Red Oak, White Oak, Maple, Pine, and Hickory. Oak seems to match every interior but it can be really expensive. If you can’t afford oak, you can opt for Brazilian Cherry, Australian Cypress, Padauk, Teak, Wenge, Jarrah and Merbau. Ensure that you take a look at the samples before you choose a wood. The grain of the wood and the depth of the color chosen should accentuate your interiors completely. If possible, ask for a foot long sample to find out exactly how it will look.

Installing hardwood floors can be a huge onetime investment in your home. Ensure that you buy the best and take care of it well. You can then enjoy it for the rest of your life.
