Replace wooden floorboards or not

Hello "inexperienced". As an expert (specialist), a parquet flooring company (a master company!) would certainly be a good option. For such an assessment, public appointment as an expert is not necessarily required. For example, if the master parquet layer were to come to the conclusion after (partial) removal of some floorboards that the support beams could not remain damage-free for the next 20 years, then the next specialist needed would be the carpenter. But this direction is mentioned here purely hypothetically. I do not see my task as causing the "worst-case scenario". This means: all possibly occurring problems can be solved calmly. Well-meant advice: Please involve only a master company for the assessment of the floorboards. ----------------------- Best regards: KlaRa

Why "mandatory" a master craftsman business?

To your question: Because in my experience there are currently many "sole proprietors" in all trades wandering around who do not know or comply with the technical rules and leave the client with their suffering after damage. The master craftsman training, on the other hand, must not be underestimated or "played down" because a lot of professional competence has accumulated in all directions of the flooring trade among the people (male and female). A good master company will, if it is not about static aspects, also be able to recognize special features on the load-bearing beams and show (and execute) a solution. In "janitor companies," which I by no means want to denounce here, professional competence cannot always be assumed. How such (sanded) parquet floors can look after they have been "sanded to ruin," I could write a book about that too... And I wanted to at least spare you that with my note! --------------------------- Best regards: KlaRa
