When to Replace Flooring: What to Watch For

Over time, flooring undergoes wear and degradation that often happens gradually and can be easily overlooked. This one-hour class will guide you in recognizing the key warning signs that a floor is due for replacement and/or refinishing, and help you understand when repairs are no longer sufficient.

By the end of this class, you’ll be able to assess whether a surface still has life left in it or if it's time to plan for replacement. You’ll also learn what factors to consider when choosing replacement materials that match both design and durability needs. This class is 18+ only.
