Was the stain poured on them to where they got wet?

Moisture problem. It could be humidity or something leaking. Is it in the kitchen?

How much does it usually cost to remove wooden floors and replace with carpet?

HI Emily Carpeting bedrooms is only dictated by your budget. The only variable is the price of the carpet, all other costs (installation, smoothedge, underlay) will be the same no matter what you choose. When you say remove wooden floors....do you know what is already installed? If you are only wanting to take the wood from the bedrooms but leave it in hallways etc, then the cost to remove wood planks (laminate?) may be around $20 per m2... A lot depends on how the timber was installed, so I think it's best to get in a professional and get a free quote. Good luck.

Wooden floors or carpet? What is your preference and why?

We are a little biased, but wood floors are versatile, durable, clean, and timeless. Whereas carpet will eventually need to be replaced, high quality wood floors can last forever. You can install radiant heat under the wood floors if you are worried about them being too cold during certain times of year, and you can easily install area rugs over the flooring. Wood flooring is also more versatile than it has ever been so you can create any look. As an added bonus you can easily sweep and mop your wood floors, whereas with Carpet you don't always know what is lying below the surface. Good luck!

"Design wood on the wall" is a real feature of the house; impresses with its powerful wood look and conceivably simple assembly. The wooden boards are fitted with adhesive strips so that they can be attached simply to the prepared wall without nails or screws. The "floor on the wall" system offers even greater creative scope.

Photos would help. Moisture, moisture, moisture. What is your subfloor? Concrete, plywood, OSB, what is the material? Where abouts do you live? How was it installed? Glue down, nail/cleat/staple, floating? What are the DOCUMENTED moisture readings (written out and handed to you by your installer) for the subfloor? And the documented moisture readings of the hardwood (again, written out all nice and pretty and handed to you)?

No documentation? Ask your installer for your copy (you pay for the work, you get the paper work that supports the warranty). Installer doesn't have them...or looks at you funny and says 'Huh?'...get a new professional involved and do it again.

Start with documentation from the installer and then let us know the answers to the questions when you have a minute.
