Oklahoma City is not new territory for us. In fact, we’ve done many flooring projects here, and we’ve worked with some of this area’s most reputable builders. But as business is growing and demand is increasing, we felt it was time to open a separate OKC location so we can better serve our customers here.

New Location Details

Renaissance OKC

3608 E. I-35 Frontage Road

Edmond, OK  73013

OKC PHONE: 405-431-9393

Our new location won’t officially open until May 1, but our OKC phone is active, and we’re already available by appointment to discuss quotes and flooring projects. Keep checking back at this blog for updates!

Located just past the Wal-Mart SuperCenter off US-75, our new offices and showroom have been fully redesigned to better serve the needs of our customers. There’s a lot to love about our new space, but let’s just give you a couple of highlights.

A Brand-New Spacious Showroom

We’ve always tried to put our best foot forward, but if you ever saw the size of our last showroom, you’ll understand why we’re so excited about this one. We’ve got so. much. space. And we’ve made full use of it to give our customers a better look at what we offer. Here’s why we love the new showroom, and why we think you will, too:

• Two entire walls of samples—with enough room to actually step back and see them.
• More varieties of wood and colors on display. We can show our customers the full range of our product offerings.
• View additional products. Renaissance does more than just hardwood floors. Our new space gives us room to display some of the other home improvement options we offer, including mantels, overhead beams, counters and even barn doors!
• A welcoming seating area—with plenty of room to sit, relax and look over your options as you make important decisions about the look of your new space.

A New, Expanded Warehouse

We’re just as excited about our new warehousing area as we are about the showroom. With more space, we can house more inventory—which means we have more stock on hand. For you as a customer, this means we spend less time waiting for supplies to ship, and we can get started on your floors faster.

We spent 23 years in our Jenks location. We loved our time there, and we miss being in that neighborhood. But we love our new location, not just for the beauty of it, but because we know it will help us serve your needs even better than before.

Where to Find our New Showroom

Our new address is:

550 W. 125th Place South

Suite 300

Glenpool, OK 74033

We’re in a new building that may not show up on your GPS just yet…so to find us, take US-75 south to the 121st St. S exit, and take the frontage road (South Waco Ave) past the Wal-Mart SuperCenter. We’re right next to Robertson Tire. We’ll see you here!

If you live in or near one of these flood-prone areas, you may naturally have some concerns about your hardwood floors—and rightly so. Left unchecked, water can do irreversible damage to wood flooring. That said, if you act quickly, there are some things you can do to mitigate the damage and possibly even save your floors. As we brace for this potential disaster, here are some key things to keep in mind.

Take Precautions Even if You’re Not in the Flood Zone

You don’t have to be near the river to experience water or moisture damage. With all the rains we’ve had, the soil is saturated and the water table beneath us is also rising. Excess moisture and water can seep into your subfloors from under your foundation, doing damage to your floors even without your knowledge. Even the high humidity is probably not doing your floors any favors right now. Consider taking the following precautions to protect your hardwood floors:

• Make sure your gutters and drains are clear. Check around the house to make sure rain water is draining off and away from your home.
• Take note of any ponding of water in your yard. This can be a sign of poor drainage or a high water table.
• Check baseboards, walls and corners for signs of moisture or water stains.
• Run fans and dehumidifiers in the home to keep humidity and moisture at bay.
• Move furniture out of harm’s way if your home is in danger of actual flooding.

If Your Home Is Flooded…

If the worst happens and flood waters enter your home, it’s a race against the clock to salvage your hardwood floors—the first 24 hours are critical. Take the following steps:

• Guard your own safety first. If your neighborhood is being evacuated, don’t stay for the sake of your floors. Don’t jeopardize your life or health. Floors can be replaced; you can’t. (Neither can your family.)
• Begin water removal as soon as it’s safe. Use a wet vac for minor flooding so take up the excess water. Keep vacuuming even after the floor appears dry, as there will probably still be some moisture in the crevices and subfloor. If you have carpeting, pull up the carpet and padding and remove it—it will probably not be salvageable. For significant flooding, hire a professional disaster recovery company to bring pumps to remove the water.
• Remove baseboards and cut away sections of moistened drywall. This reduces the risk of harmful mold growth, which can occur within 48-72 hours of a flood.
• Set up dehumidifiers and fans throughout the affected area. These need to run for up to 3 days to help remove the excess moisture that has seeped into the wood pores. Running your air conditioner will also help.

Evaluating the Damage

For wood floors that are exposed to significant moisture—for example, if flood waters cover your floor—there’s a good chance they will experience at least some damage. Time is of the essence here. If you can remove the water within a few hours and quickly get dehumidifiers running, the damage may be imperceptible, especially if you had a protective sealant on the floors. If you begin water removal within the first 24 hours and get the floors dried quickly, you may need to sand and refinish the floors to restore them, but this will still be less costly than replacing them. Any longer than a day, and between moisture and mold, it’s a fair bet they will need to be replaced as part of your recovery efforts. The cost of replacement may be covered if you have flood insurance.

If you are affected by the flood waters and you are unsure of the steps you need to take to replace your floors, Renaissance Hardwood Flooring is here to help. For a free evaluation and expert advice, give us a call at 918-298-4477. Most importantly—stay safe!
