New Maple Flooring and Refinishing Red Oak Floor in Arlington

/in , /by

New Maple wood flooring installed with seams aligned on upper and lower levelsOur clients wanted some new wood flooring installed, and some existing wood flooring refinished, in their home on the marsh, just off of McCormick/Mt. Pleasant on Girvin Road, in the Arlington area of Jacksonville, Florida.

Existing carpeting and existing wood flooring was removed in order to install the new flooring. Then we leveled the concrete subfloor, in preparation for the new wood flooring.

The clients chose a 5″ wide, hand scraped engineered maple hardwood flooring from the Padova collection by Versini.

During the installation, we undercut the stone fireplace, and matched perfectly with the different colored baseboards and built-in cabinets’ kick plates.

We laid the new maple flooring on the lower elevation first, then we lined it up the seams of the new maple flooring planks on the higher elevation with the seams in the new flooring on the lower elevation.

  • It takes a little more time, a little more work, but aligning seams in adjacent levels of flooring like this reflect our attention to detail, to create a more appealing appearance of our finished work for our clients, and guests in their homes.

We sanded the existing red oak wood flooring to reveal its natural appearance. Then we stained it with Minwax Honey stain, and gave it three coats of Bona Mega Clear satin.

The whole project looks great and our customers love the colors of their new and refinished wood floors.

Installing Hickory Wood Flooring in Julington Creek

/in /by

Engineered domestic Hickory wood flooringDan’s Floor Store helped a client upgrade their home in Julington Creek, Florida to help give it a new look, installing some stylish Hickory wood flooring.

First we leveled the subfloor, because the wood flooring must lay perfectly flat to avoid developing problems after installation.

Our client selected from the elegant Monticello collection of American made, milled and finished in Tennessee, 7 1/2″ wide by 1/2″ thick engineered domestic Hickory wood flooring by Max Woods Floors. We installed approximately 1200 square feet of Hickory wood flooring in their home.

The new Hickory wood floor turned out nice. Another happy client.

Engineered Weathered Walnut floor in Ponte Vedra Beach

/1 Comment/in /by

Wide engineered, weathered Walnut flooring with white details for the beachy lookFollowing one of our free consultations and estimates, Dan’s Floor Store was asked to install some engineered weathered Walnut flooring with white accents in a home in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, to help give the room a beachy look.

The flooring that the client picked is 6 1/2″ wide engineered weathered Walnut flooring, in 1/2″ thick planks from the Nuvelle Flooring, Blowing Rock Collection. The selected flooring features a white wash, French bleed edges, and white stain in the grain. This is another wood flooring product that is redefining the beachy look in homes and businesses all around the First Coast. This particular flooring was chosen by the client because they liked the way it brings in the colors of the existing tile and cabinets together nicely. And this walnut floor displays a lot of visual variation from piece to piece, as is customary for walnut flooring.

Here’s a look at the room before we removed the existing carpeting. The first day on this project, we removed the old carpeting and leveled the subfloor, in preparation for installing the  engineered walnut flooring.

Here is the installed engineered weathered Walnut flooring.

And here you can see the finished engineered weathered Walnut flooring with the beachy look. We think the new wood floor is really beautiful, and our clients do too!

New Solid White Oak flooring in Atlantic Beach

/in /by

5" wide solid White Oak floor planks installedFollowing one of our free consultations and estimates, Dan’s Floor Store was contracted to install new solid wood White Oak flooring in a guest house on Beach Avenue in Atlantic Beach, Florida.

The client’s guest house has a great view of the Atlantic Ocean.

First we installed a plywood subfloor, to APA (APA – The Engineered Wood Association) and NWFA (National Wood Flooring Association) standards.

Then we installed select grade, 5″ wide by 3/4″ thick solid White Oak flooring by Shamrock Plank Flooring. Wood flooring planks that are 5″ wide must be glued and nailed down, which is a bit more labor to install, but they look very elegant.

Dan’s Floor Store wood flooring work complies with NWFA standards to provide beautiful results and long lasting wood floors for our customers. For example, when installing solid wood flooring like this one, it’s important to leave room for the wood to expand and contract. That’s why we install expansion joints (which you can see in some of the photos), using nickels between the boards every 10 feet.

Our crew will be coming back to sand and stain this new solid White Oak wood floor in a few months, after the wood has become fully acclimated.

New engineered White Oak wood floors in Jacksonville Beach

/in /by

It’s always nice when a client likes your work so much that they become a repeat client.

Dan’s Floor Store is very pleased that a lot of our wood floor and tile projects are either for repeat clients or are new clients referred to us by past clients who liked the wood floor or tile project we did for them and referred their family and friends to us.

Engineered White Oak Flooring with white stain in grain by Ark - detailFor this wood flooring project, we were called by a lady we had done a flooring job for two years ago, this time to install new wood flooring in two bedrooms of her Pier Point Condominium in Jacksonville Beach, Florida.

Our client selected engineered White Oak flooring with white stain in the grain by Ark, called Brushed Linen from their Estate collection; a redefining beachy look. Very nice selection for this condo, near the beautiful beach.

There is a sound deadening requirement for flooring in Pier Point condos, because the building is comprised of 5 stories of stacked, concrete condo units. To achieve the sound deadening requirement for the condo flooring, we used Bostik’s Vapor Lock which is a sound deadening adhesive.

Our client prefers a shiny floor and the Ark engineered White Oak wood flooring she selected comes prefinished has a dull matte finish. No problem! We finished the floor in place with a semi gloss Bona Mega Clear HD.

We agree with our client, the results are beautiful! Another happy repeat client!

Replacing Travertine with European White Oak flooring in St. Johns County

/in /by

Earlier this year, Dan’s Floor Store replaced approximately 1200 ft.² of Travetine tile with new European White Oak wood flooring in a home on the river in St. Johns county, Florida.

 

New European White Oak plank flooringThe flooring that was chosen for this project is Vintage Loft by Real Wood Floors, a wire brushed European White Oak wood flooring with a lot of texturing and some beautiful knots and grain for character.

First the existing Travertine tile flooring was removed.

In order for the new solid wood flooring to come flush to the existing Travertine in adjoining rooms, we installed “header boards”. Header boards run perpendicular to the direction of the wooden floor planks. We had to make perfect cuts for a good fit and pleasing appearance, using the old wisdom, “Measure twice and cut once”.

The mud bed for the old Travertine tile was not level enough to properly support the new wood flooring, so we had to taper and feather different thicknesses of plywood subfloor to graduate with the rolling mud bed and properly prepare and level the area for the new wood flooring.

We used flooring straps to get the floor super tight. Some of the planks/boards were very long boards up to 8 foot long to be exact.

The new European White Oak wood plank flooring has a 4 mm sawn face and is coated with UV cured oil. This wood flooring is 8 3/4 inches wide by 5/8 inch thick. The final European White Oak wood flooring looks beautiful!

New Solid White Oak Plank Flooring in Deerwood Country Club

/in /by

Following one of our free wood flooring consultations and estimates, Dan’s Floor Store was contracted to install new solid wood plank floors in a home in the gated Deerwood Country Club community in Jacksonville, Florida.

New solid White Oak select plank flooringThis project consisted of installing solid White Oak plank select floors from Shamrock Plank Flooring in three upstairs bedrooms. The clients chose random width planks for two of the rooms (3″, 6″, and 8″ wide) and 2 1/4″ wide planks in the third room, to be congruent with the width of the wood plank flooring in the hall and master bedroom.

Following after installation, we sanded the new White Oak plank flooring to level the floors and prepare them for staining and finishing.

We applied a neutral DuraSeal stain with oil base sealer, and then followed with two coats of Bona Traffic Satin for a durable, elegant finish.

New European White Oak wood floor and Stair Tread Refinishing in South Jax Beach

/1 Comment/in , /by

New European White Oak wood flooring installedThere were two parts to this Dan’s Floor Store project; one part was to install some elegant new European White Oak wood plank floor that was 7 1/2 inch wide by 9/16 of an inch thick, known as “Tuscany” from the Renaissance collection by LW Flooring.

New wood flooring installation follows a thorough and often extensive subfloor leveling process which Dan’s Floor Store must perform to prevent variations in the surface of the subfloor causing dips and humps in the wood flooring installation. These photos show the subfloor.

These photos show wood floor planks being strapped together with special flooring straps during installation, due to the width of the planks. Included in one of the photos is a bucket of the Bostick GreenForce combined high performance adhesive and moisture control membrane that we used.

This elegant solid European White Oak wood floor is redefining the “Beachy” look without being super light; it has a fumed-type of look and as you can see, there is a lot of variation in the darkness of the finish from plank to plank.

The second part of the project was to sand and stain the wooden stair treads to blend with the new European White Oak wood floor.

Bona Traffic HD finishWe finished our work with Bona Traffic HD with a matte finish that looks great and has super durability, in addition to being a green product.

Here’s a quick video we took of the finished project.

Our clients were very pleased with the finished look of their new wood floors and refinished stairs.

New Red Oak Wood Flooring in Ponte Vedra Beach

/in /by

View of the Guana Reserve from the client's Ponte Vedra Beach home.Homeowners of an appealing home in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida that overlooks the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve needed the old wood flooring in their home replaced.

Being near the beach, the old wood floors had gotten a lot of wear damage from sand tracked into the home and brought in with beach gear.

Following removal of the old wood floors, Dan’s Floor Store installed unfinished 2 1/4′ wide solid plank Red Oak wood flooring by Howell flooring.

To level and prepare the new wood floor planks, they need to be sanded after they are installed. So we sanded the new Red Oak wood flooring and then applied DuraSeal Golden Brown stain. We followed the stain with three topcoats of Bona Mega HD clear, satin for plenty of durability in the sandy, abrasive beach environment.

New White Oak Flooring in Julington Creek

/in /by

Owners of a charming home in Julington Creek in Jacksonville, Florida wanted to upgrade the look and value of their home by installing new wood flooring to cover 800 square feet of the floors in their home.

Following one of our free Dan’s Floor Store consultations, the home owners chose the 8 1/2 inch wide by 5/8 inch thick wire brushed engineered White Oak flooring, with a UV oil topcoat: Vintage Loft by Real Wood Floors.

  • A UV oil finish makes for an attractive furniture-type finish. The oil actually penetrates the wood’s surface and provides rich appearance.

First we remove the old carpet and carpet padding, and clean the slab subfloor.

This photo shows some of the thorough and often extensive subfloor leveling which Dan’s Floor Store must perform as part of every single job. The wood flooring must lay perfectly flat to avoid developing problems with the new wood floor after installation.

This photo shows wood floor planks being strapped together with special flooring straps during installation, due to the width of the planks.

This photo shows wood planks being installed onto the leveled sublfoor, to which wood floor adhesive has been applied.

This new wire brushed engineered White Oak wood floor is a beautiful installation, accented with a lot of radius cuts of the wood planks in the staircase area and elsewhere.
