Flooring, Again…


Anyone know where you can find parquet like this around town? We have a hole we’d like to fill.

Thanks. & Thanks for all the help on the wood flooring issues.

Wood vs. Laminate Flooring?


We need to redo the floor for a v. large bedroom in our brownstone duplex which will be a rental for at least a few years, maybe permanently. Huge price difference between pergo and wood flooring, not sure it’s worth it to do the wood for a rental — what think? Do renters hate wood laminate, too? How much would it hurt if we decide to sell?

Wood Flooring


We need to redo the wood floor of a very large bedroom in our 1867 brick townhouse — the parlor in the next room has lovely old dark wood parquet but can’t replicate — need something reasonably priced. Any suggestions?

double parlors


am wondering how many people actually have double parlors or parlors on separate floor from kitchen/dr…do you use the living room? Have seen a few houses like this…seems odd to me.

who pays for fence?


What’s the law regarding shared fences on either side of a brownstone’s garden? Are we responsible for only one side, or should both sides be shared with the neighbors?
