Soft wood is a familiar sight to the domestic environment, but rare be it that you should be seeing it within the commercial space. You can still get away with murder if you have soft wood flooring in your living room and your dining room. Indeed, if you are living in one of those really old houses – but they have been patched up professionally – you could find yourself with wood everywhere. But obviously not in your bathrooms and kitchens. Those days are long gone. Wood is nice. Everybody – or most people at least; surely – loves wood.

It remains appealing to the senses. But it suddenly becomes an eyesore almost overnight. It feels as though the ground is sinking below your feet, and quite literally so as it turns out. If the termites haven’t already got to it, the old house has been on shaky foundations all along. Something has got to give, and what a great big expense it becomes to fix this mess. These days, you should not find commercial enterprises chancing their arm with soft wood when they can just as well go along with hardwood floors in metairie la.  

It is not and never shall be a wasted expense. It turns out to be a very good investment indeed. Long-term too. There is no doubt that at the end of the day, hardwood flooring lasts a whole lot longer than soft wood flooring. Although it has to be said that there is still every prospect that the dreaded termites are going to get to the wood. Which means of course that you’re just going to have to make pretty darn sure that you’ve got your pest control services standing by. Hardwood and soft wood; which is better?
