A Small Sampling of Our Hardwood Floor Before & Afters
A Draper Daydream
In our humble-yet-professional opinion, when it comes to LVP or "Luxury Vinyl Plank", there's nothing "Luxurious" about it. Nevertheless, our client was tired of the LVP in their Family Room, and wanted to know if we could remove it and install an addition of the "same" 3-1/4" Red Oak to achieve a seamless look throughout? Yes we can. And yes we DID! The existing floors were 20+ years old, so it's somewhat of a "guesstimate" whether or not the new wood will match well with the old, and yet we were able to pull it off PERFECTLY! Instead of tearing out the old floor and starting over fresh (which would've cost a small fortune!), we removed the transition board and "feathered" or "laced" 14' of #1 Common Red Oak into the existing floor, then we performed a Complete Sand & Refinish. PLUS we installed Flush Mount Return Registers and tossed the metal ones in the trash! Our client chose Bona DriFast Stain in "Medium Brown"and went with Pallmann X Power Finish in Satin for a subtle sheen that blended the new with the old with worldclass results! To say they were stoked and satisfied with their new addition would be an understatement! We may be (obviously) biased, but this floor turned out BEAUTIFULLY!
Crown Jewel of Cottonwood Heights
"Orange, ugly, and dated!" Those were the words our client used to describe the floors in their newly purchased home. Wishing to achieve a more modern look - like the one they had in Texas - they wondered if we could "bleach" the Red Oak out and remove as much "red" as possible? Yes we can. And yes we did! After two applications of Bona "Red Out", we were able to mitigate the red as much as possible. From there, our client went with "White" Bona DriFast stain, and then we topped it off with a Satin Sheen Finish by Pallmann. The results were stunning, and the client was more than happy with the modern look of their Red Oak floors. We don't bleach very often, but when we do, even WE are impressed by the final results. Suffice it to say, they were STOKED and so were we!!
Challenge in Charleston
When the owner ripped up the carpet, their initial thought was, "Should we replace the floor?" Our response: "Absolutely NOT!" This white oak floor was laid in the 1800s and there was little hope that the gunk, grime, and deep-scratches could be removed. It took more than we originally imagined to repair, restore, and revitalize this "ugly" floor into something beautiful, but obviously we were up for the challenge. The finished result exceeded our expectations and, more importantly, it exceeded our client's expectations.
Reclaimed in Park City
Different types of wood were used in this hardwood floor, and all came from reclaimed barn planks. From red oak to white, from pine to birch, this hardwood floor had it all. We even did some intricate lattice work that was inlaid between stone (not pictured). We did a custom color stain for the client, who was exceedingly pleased with the end-result. We finished things off with a satin-sheen finish and the whole thing turned out beautifully, especially with the gorgeous stairs.
OMG in Ogden
This floor was a doozy. The owner wasn't sure if it was salvageable, but we believed otherwise. Sometimes you come across a floor with incredibly old finish on top - perhaps after years of being beneath carpet or sometimes even tile - but rarely are we unable to restore a floor to its former glory. When this client pulled up the carpet, they initially didn't think it was worth it and considered replacing the entire floor. That's where we stepped in and said, "Not so fast, my friend!" We may have burned through more abrasives than we anticipated, but the end-result was exquisitely worth it.
