White Oak Flooring and Treads installed – Penman Road

Dan’s Floor Store 903.887.8303 was brought in to help one of our local building contractors. They subcontracted us to install some 7 1/2″ wide White Oak flooring in a new home on Penman Road at the Beaches of Jacksonville, Florida.

Our crew began by leveling the concrete slab subfloor with Bostik SL 175 Premium Self Leveling Underlayment. We sanded the edges of the sheet plywood second floor and stairway frame to level those areas.

Next, we installed the 7 1/2″ wide White Oak flooring by Palmetto Road on the first and second floor of the home, using Bostik Green Force adhesive. These White Oak planks featured a mineral streak, giving them a lot of variation between planks.

Our crew used tape to hold these wide engineered White Oak hardwood planks together while the adhesive set.

We installed the same White Oak planks (and matching nosing) on the stairway treads.

Our client told us he really liked how these White Oak floors and stair treads looked! Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients.

European Oak hardwood flooring.

European Oak Flooring & Treads Installed – Ponte Vedra

A homeowner in Ponte Vedra, Florida purchased 3,000 square feet of 9 1/2″ wide, wire brushed European Oak engineered hardwood flooring by Nuvelle. Then they contracted Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 to install this European Oak on their floors and stairway.

We began by leveling the concrete slab subfloor and sanding the edges of the plywood sheet subfloor on the second level of the home. (A good wood flooring installation requires a leveled subfloor.) Then we began flooring installation. The flooring straps we use for the wide plank flooring installations can be seen in some of the photos.

This client didn’t want shoe molding around their waterfall countertops or their cabinets. So the crew tucked the flooring at the bottom of the waterfall countertops, and got closer than 1/16″ around all of the cabinets, throughout the home.

Our client also wanted a more seamless transition at their doorways, between tiled areas and the new wood flooring. So, we milled the full T-molding down to a lower profile and achieved no raised surface at the transition.

The Dan’s Floor Store crew installed the same European Oak flooring on the stair treads. The stair tread nosing we had ordered from the factory arrived in the wrong color. So, we had to sand them down and stain and finish the nosing to match the flooring.

Dan’s Floor Store sells and installs new wood floors (engineered wood, solid wood, or laminate), as well as vinyl and luxury vinyl plank floors, refinishes wooden staircases, and repairs and refinishes existing wood flooring for residential and commercial clients, to improve the looks of the floor and value of the property.

Finished White Oak hardwood flooring.

Install, Sand, Finish – White Oak Flooring – Sawgrass TPC

Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 was contracted for a wood flooring job in TPC Sawgrass, right on the Dye’s Valley Course!

Our client was a new homeowner and he was moving here from Boston, Massachusetts with his family. They needed to get this job done under a strict time frame; finished right before Thanksgiving!

Dan did the on-site inspection of the wood flooring project site, and measured the designated project flooring areas. The project was to refinish the existing wood flooring, and replace existing carpet with matching wood flooring in the carpeted sunken living room and a master bedroom. He determined the existing wood flooring in the home (to be matched) was solid White Oak, in 2 1/4 inch wide planks.

Our crew removed all of the old carpeting and leveled the concrete subfloor. A good wood flooring installation requires a leveled subfloor. Leveling included around the two fireplaces; one in the master and one in the sunken in living room. The area in the sunken living room required extensive leveling to arrive to the same height as the fireplace hearths.

As we started the wood flooring installation, our crew picture framed header boards around the fireplaces, completely flush to the marble. Our crew used an unfinished engineered wood product that is made in America by Maxwell; in 2 1/4 inch wide White Oak engineered hardwood flooring, using Bostiks Greenforce adhesive.

Meanwhile, the existing White Oak flooring was being sanded with our sanding equipment by Dan and his crew.

We used Pallman Nature Seal, and Pallman Pure to finish this flooring job.

Needless to say, Dan and his Dan’s Floor Store crew met the timeline to allow our customers to move in right before Thanksgiving and enjoy their Thanksgiving in their new home, with our new Floors.

Dan’s Floor Store sands, stains (and can match stain) and finishes wood floors, repairs and refinishes existing wood flooring and staircases, and installs new wood floors (engineered wood, solid wood, or laminate) as well as Luxury Vinyl Plank for residential and commercial clients. Our work improves the looks of the floor and value of the property. Give us a call 904.887.8303 to make an appointment for a free consultation and estimate.

Transition at banister - woodwork.

Installing Trubalance Golden Red Oak flooring in Palencia

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

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

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 leveled the subfloors, then installed the new White Oak flooring, and 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

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

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

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

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!
