Has anyone ever taken hardwood floors in terrible shape and flipped the wood upside down? 

I like Wood Floors Plus in Glen Burnie

Remove and replace the existing wood landing and replace with new pressure treated lumber and treating deck boards.

I prefer the natural wood color, but paint might be better if it is unsightly.Jim.

Does your home inspection include pest and wood destroying organism inspection too? 

Rehabbing there (anywhere else on the planet for that matter) is very different than it is here.Here people build houses like crap, a hurricane flattens everything and they again build houses with wood, sticks and sheetrock.Just doesn't add up... but that also means removing a wall is as easy as pie opening the kitchen up.

The snail darter, or endangered field mouse you saw on  your last walk in your woods!!!  

The wood floors are currently not in great condition.
