[quote=Anonymous]1. Yes, there's a good chance you can refinish. You can also re-stain. So, you really can make the floors look almost however you want without replacing it. 2. If you do need to replace, whether it is a DIY project partially depends on how the current hardwood is installed and how you plant to install the new engineered wood. If the old wood is nailed down, and you are replacing it with a floating install, this is a very easy DIY project that requires basic carpentry skills and that's it. 3. Half of y'all are confused about what engineered hardwood is. It doesn't even look a little bit like plastic. You are thinking of pergo. Engineered has a thin layer of hardwood sandwiched between composite. You cannot tell the difference between correctly-installed hardwood plank and engineered hardwood on visual inspection alone. Its major downsides are that it often can't be refinished and it can feel a bit more springy when you walk on it.[/quote]
