Installing Trubalance Golden Red Oak flooring in Palencia

/in /by

When the owner of a home in the Palencia community in Ponte Vedra was ready for new wood flooring for the second floor of their home, they called Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 for a FREE Consutation.

Based on our consultation, they selected 3/4″ thick by 5″ wide Trubalance Golden Red Oak Exclusive flooring from the Admiration Collection by Mirage. Trubalance is real wood over an SPF (Spruce, Pine, and Fir) Quarter sawn core layer; “a more environmentally friendly approach”.

Our crew began by repositioning the furniture, removing the old flooring, and leveling the sheet plywood subfloor by sanding all the edges.

This job gave us a chance to practice some match staining on some nosing. We had to do some shimming at a doorway. The second floor of this home had several walls at an angle to the main area, and several curved walls. Our crew practices the “measure twice, cut once” work practice, which is helpful, more efficient, and less frustrating.

The curved walls gave us some practice doing radius and circumference cuts.

As can be seen in some of the photos, these new Trubalance Golden Red Oak flooring was taller than the existing banister woodwork. Our crew created beautiful trim to transition between the two surfaces.

This client told us that they were very pleased with the new Red Oak hardwood flooring and woodwork details in the second story of their home. And Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!

White Oak hardwood flooring installed.

Installing 9 1/2″ wide White Oak Hardwood Flooring in North St. Augustine

/in /by

A leak ruined the flooring upstairs in this home, and the home owner called Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303.

After one of our FREE consultations the home owner selected 9 1/2″ wide White Oak engineered hardwood, color Fresco, by Shaw Expressions Flooring.

Next, a good flooring installation requires a level subfloor, so we sanded the edges of the plywood sheet subflooring to create a level subfloor.

During a break, we peeked out the rear windows, enjoying the home owner’s nice view of their back yard and the marsh.

Our crew installed the White Oak hardwood flooring using Bostik GreenForce adhesive.

Our client was very pleased with the new flooring in the second story of their home. We thought the new White Oak flooring looked beautiful and Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!

New Oak stair treads installed and match stained bottom treads.

Match Stained Oak Stair Treads and Oak Hardwood Flooring Install – Palencia

/in , , , /by

A homeowner moving into this area contracted Dan’s Floor Store 903.887.8303 for her new home’s flooring and stair tread improvement project.

She chose 7 3/4″ wide Trubalance wood flooring in the Hula Hoop color by Mirage to be installed throughout her home, and wanted the wooden stair treads to match.

The Dan’s Floor Store crew installed the new White Oak flooring, then removed the old stair treads.

Then they checked the stair frame, to assure the support for each new stair tread would be level and solid.

The new, solid White Oak treads were wire brushed, and then stained with the Hula Hoop stain by Mirage (to match the new wood flooring). These stair treads were finished with three coats of durable polyurethane finish. And white risers were installed on the stairway. You can see how well the new stair treads match the color of the new hardwood flooring in the last photo in this batch.

The bottom two stair treads were irregularly sized Red Oak. Dan custom, match stained these Red Oak treads to match the Hula Hoop color of the new White Oak stair treads. This is not easy to do because the Red Oak and White Oak, being two different species, have different tones in the natural wood. A stain color can give different results on Red Oak versus White Oak.

Our client told us how much she enjoyed the bright, fresh look of her new hardwood floors and staircase! Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!

Installed Hickory hardwood flooring.

Hickory Hardwood Flooring Installed near World Golf Village

/in /by

One of our local home builder associates subcontracted Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 to install natural Hickory hardwood flooring by Virginia Mill Works in a project home under construction on State Road 13, near World Golf Village. The contractor provided the Hickory flooring for this project.

Our crew began by leveling on the concrete slab subfloor with Bostik SL 175 Premium Self Leveling Underlayment. A quality hardwood flooring installation requires a leveled subfloor.

We installed the Hickory hardwood flooring in the living areas of the new house using Bostik Greenforce adhesive.

This Hickory flooring has a lot of visual variation from plank to plank, which must be considered when installing the hardwood flooring, for an enjoyable finished hardwood floor look.

Our builder told us he was very happy with the look we achieved with these hardwood Hickory floors. And Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients and builders.

French Oak hardwood flooring, installed - staircase.

French Oak Hardwood Flooring and Stairs – Palencia

/in , /by

After one of our FREE consultations, these clients looked at our selection of engineered hardwood flooring at our showroom, and selected 7 1/2″ wide French White Oak engineered hardwood flooring by Chesapeake Flooring, color Catalyst. Then contracted Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 to install on the floors and stairway in their home.

Then the couple went out of the country, and entrusted our team to get the whole job done in 10 days:

  • moving their furniture out
  • leveling the subfloors
  • installing the hardwood flooring on the floors and staircase
  • moving their furniture back into their home.

After we removed the furniture from the project home, our crew leveled the concrete slab subfloor downstairs with quality Bostick self leveling underlayment. We leveled the sheet plywood floor upstairs by sanding the edges of the sheets. A level subfloor is important to a good hardwood flooring installation.

Here are some photos of the leveled downstairs concrete slab subfloor and prepared stair frame. Some of the photos show where we removed a little concrete around the brick features in the kitchen, so the Oak planks could extend under their edges.

This project home had some curved walls and walls set at a diagonal to the main (length and width) dimensions of the rooms. Not a problem for us because our crew practices “measure twice and cut once” workmanship. We installed the European Oak hardwood flooring using durable, dependable Bostik GreenForce Adhesive.

Our crew finished the Oak hardwood flooring installation on the stair frame with matching stair nosing.

In all, we installed approximately 2200 square feet of the 7 1/2″ wide French White Oak engineered hardwood flooring in this home.

And then our team moved the furniture back into our client’s home.

When they returned home, our clients told us that they loved how their new hardwood floors and staircase look. Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!

Installed European Oak flooring.

European White Oak Hardwood Flooring Installation – Riverside

/in /by

For this project, Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 was contracted to install 9 1/2″ wide European White Oak engineered hardwood by Azur Reserve, color Belrose, upstairs and downstairs in a new build home. The new home is really close to the St. Johns River, in the Riverside neighborhood of Jacksonville, Florida.

Our crew began this project by leveling the concrete slab subfloor downstairs with quality Bostik leveling underlayment. It took a lot of leveler but a leveled subfloor is important for a good flooring job. Upstairs we sanded the edges of the plywood sheet subfloor to create a level surface for the hardwood flooring.

Some photos showing the leveled concrete slab subfloor.

Our customer wanted our crew to install the hardwood flooring planks running different directions in certain areas. Upstairs, we were to run the planks front to back. Downstairs, they wanted the wood planks installed running side to side in the 2 front rooms, the bathroom, and the closet adjacent to the bathroom, and the remaining rooms were to run front to back. The multiple directions of the downstairs flooring add depth to the new house. Some photos show the flooring straps we use to hold the wide hardwood planks together during installation.

French Oak flooring - installed.

8″ wide French Oak Flooring Installation – Plantation

/in /by

Some of our local building contractors call Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 for their flooring projects (both new installations and refinishing, and also tile and stone work). This job for a local building contractor was installing 8″ wide, aged and smoked engineered French Oak flooring, Casimiro of the Villa Borghese collection by Bella Cera . We installed these wood floors in a 3,300 square foot new construction home in the Plantation community, in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.

Our crew began this project by leveling the concrete slab subfloor with quality Bostik SL175 . A leveled subfloor is important for a good flooring job.

We installed the French Oak flooring with durable Bostik GreenForce adhesive .
Some of the photos show the custom cut wooden reducers we made for every place where the Oak wood flooring met with the tile flooring. The top surface of the wood flooring was higher than that of the tile. These reducers create a smoother transition between areas of the two different flooring media.
An important part of appealing flooring installations is making precision cuts, like around in floor electrical outlets, in floor plumbing, built-in cabinetry, and fireplace hearths. Our plan is to “Measure twice, and cut once.” We used flooring straps when installing the French Oak wood flooring, because of the width of the flooring planks.

Seeing the finished French Oak flooring installation on this job, our client had to agree, it turned out beautifully. And Dan’s Floor Store likes to have happy clients!

Installed European Oak flooring.

Engineered Oak Hardwood Flooring Install – Odom’s Mill

/in /by

Some new homeowners and business owners call Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 to add the warm tones of wood flooring in their properties. And other people contact us to install wood flooring when they are ready to give their place a fresh and welcoming appearance.

Homeowners in the Odom’s Mill community in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida contracted Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 for their flooring improvement project. They were ready to replace the carpeting and some of the tile flooring in their home with wood flooring.

Our clients selected 7 1/2″ wide engineered European Oak hardwood flooring by Sawgrass Hills in Malaga color for their home.

We began this project by moving most of the household furniture into their garage. (The Master bedroom furniture was not moved, because our clients were living there while we worked on their floors.)

Next our crew removed the tile flooring and old carpeting. One room had an blue epoxy floor, that reminded us of a blue bowling ball. We sanded the epoxy floor with our sanding buffer with a very rough plate, to prepare the smooth epoxy surface for leveling compound.

We used 15 bags of BOSTIK SL150 Leveler to level 2,000 square feet of the slab concrete and epoxied subfloor surface in this home, in preparation for the hardwood flooring installation. A level subfloor surface is important for a quality hardwood flooring installation.

This home had quite a few walls set at a diagonal to the main (length and width) dimensions of the rooms. Not a problem because our crew practices “measure twice and cut once” workmanship. We installed the European Oak hardwood flooring using durable, dependable Bostik GreenForce Adhesive.

Our clients told us they love the look of their new wood floors! Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy customers!

3 1/4″ Wide Engineered Tigerwood Installation – Serenata Beach

/in /by

Serenata Beach condo.This flooring improvement project for Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 was for an upstairs condo in Serenata Beach, in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.

Following one of our FREE consultations, these homeowners chose an exotic 3 1/4″ wide engineered Tigerwood flooring by Triangulo and contracted our crew to install it.

After removing the old flooring, we leveled the concrete subfloor with quality Bostik SL-150.

This job was intricate because our crew cut the ends of the existing wood flooring square, then put in a header board across that flooring, and lined the new wood up to the old wood planks.

Next we glued down cork underlayment for the wood flooring, which was a requirement for sound deadening at this stacked condo.

And then our crew installed the engineered Tigerwood flooring, using durable Bostik GreenForce adhesive.

These homeowners told us they loved the look of their new Tigerwood flooring! And Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!

Herringbone Pattern French Oak Floor in Nocatee

/in /by

Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 does a variety of flooring improvement projects for our clients.

French Oak flooring installed in herringbone pattern.For this project, the homeowners in Nocatee, Florida wanted 4 3/4″ wide French Oak engineered flooring by Valaire , color Lorraine installed in a herringbone pattern in their Master bedroom.

Yes, installing a wood floor in a herringbone pattern takes a little more planning, time, and work than installing wood planks side by side. But the installed flooring is both visually appealing and memorable!

After moving the bedroom furniture and removing the old flooring, we leveled the concrete slab subfloor with Bostik SL-150 Self Leveler.

We spotted some small cracks in the concrete slab subfloor. Small, surface stress cracks in poured concrete floors can appear as the home settles. Our crew fills in cracks wider than 1/4″, but the leveler fills smaller ones.

We chose Bostik GreenForce adhesive for this project.

Our clients were thrilled to see their French Oak wood Master bedroom floor done in the herringbone pattern! Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!
