I thought of using flooring nails and recessing them and filling in over heads, but I really want something very permanent- maybe very thin screws?

Best way to refinish wood floors?

3 bedrooms, hallway, and living room now covered with carpet. I’d like to remove wall-to-wall carpeting and have wood flooring refinished and cover with a few area rugs.
I’m afraid the wood floors are in pretty bad shape, on the surface at least (mainly the result of poorly house-trained dog….)

Your suggestions are most appreciated

I’m about to lay down some wood flooring and I need to make sure the subfloor (3/4″ plywood) is completely level. What’s the best way to do this? I was thinking about laying a 7ft straight edge down every which way but there must be a better way. Any suggestions from the pros?

The least toxic flooring seems to be prefinished hardwood. I was told that the hardwood would need to be nailed to plywood. I don’t want to use plywood because of offgassing concerns. What is the best non toxic choice for hardwood floor underlayment?
