I loved my mediuim-colored hardwood floors in parts of my house when it was new nine years ago. However, I’d like to replace my family room’s carpet with hardwood but now like a much darker shade of stain. I’m wondering how difficult and messy it would be to have the existing floors stripped and restained darker, at the same time the new floor goes down.
