Hickory Hardwood Flooring Installation – Plantation Oaks in Ponte Vedra Beach

/in /by

Dan’s Floor Store works to make every wood flooring installation a good experience. Clients that are pleased with our work often recommend us to friends and family.

Engineered wide plank Hickory flooring installedThis wood flooring project was the result of a recommendation from one of the local real estate agents who often recommends Dan’s Floor Store to their clients who want to improve the home that they are considering with wood or tile floors, or professionally refinishing the old, existing wood flooring.

The couple wanted 1350 square feet of existing wood and tile flooring in the home removed, and new wood flooring installed. We can do that!

The couple picked 1/2″ by 7 1/2″ wide planks of engineered Hickory hardwood flooring, in a style called Monticello Hearthsone, by Max Woods.

We stacked the boxes of flooring planks to the side of the work area, and set up a temporary work shop on the back patio of the home. Special flooring straps are used to hold these wood planks together during installation, due to the width of the planks.

The installed Hickory hardwood flooring look excellent and the homeowners were very happy.

Hand Scraped Birch Wood Flooring Installation – Odom’s Mill

/in /by

Our Dan’s Floor Store crew works hard to do a good job on our residential and commercial flooring projects for each of our clients. Whether we are installing a new wood floor, repairing or refinishing a wood floor, or installing tile or stone, we work with our clients to make the project a good experience for them. It just makes good sense to treat others the way you want to be treated.

And we are thankful that many times our clients show their appreciation for our work on their flooring project by calling Dan’s Floor Store when they have another wood or tile flooring project. Many prior clients also recommend us to their friends and families.

A year or so ago, a couple who own a charming home in the Odom’s Mill community of Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida contracted us to install wood flooring in rooms covering about 1250 square feet of their home. They said they really loved their new wood floors.

Recently they called on us to install some pre-finished, hand scraped Birch wood flooring that they had purchased to match their existing wood floors. This new project covered the floors in two more bedrooms of their charming home, and further increases the value of their home.

Dan’s Floor Store sells a wide variety of name brand wood flooring and tile, samples of which are on display in our Ponte Vedra Showroom. And, just like on this project, we will also install wood flooring that a client has purchased on their own.

When this project started, both bedroom floors were covered with carpet. We removed the carpet and leveled the concrete subfloor, so the wooden flooring would not be damaged by unevenness in the concrete surface.

You can see in these photos how the hand scraped Birch wood flooring that our clients picked looks great and matched beautifully with their existing wood flooring that we had previously installed.

Everyone was pleased with how good the newly installed wood flooring looks.

Wood Floor Weave-in and Install at the King and Bear

/in , /by

Installed - new engineered hand scraped birch wood flooringThis Dan’s Floor Store wood floor weave-in and install project took place in a home at the King and Bear community – part of the World Golf Village in St. Augustine, Florida.

The client wanted to replace the tile floors in the hallways, kitchen, and dining room with wood flooring.

And they wanted the new wood flooring to appear as a continuation of the existing wood flooring that had been previously installed in their home.

First the tile and thinset used to adhere the tiles to the concrete subfloor had to be removed, and the entire area to be covered in wood flooring had be be leveled.

To match the existing wood flooring, we found a beautiful engineered hand scraped Birch wood flooring, 5″ x 3/8″ planks from the Rucsello collection by Bella Cera.

To blend the new wood flooring in with the existing wood flooring, we wove in ten boards, and went on to extend the new wood flooring throughout all the hallways, in the kitchen, and in the dining room of the home.

The weave-in and installation turned out beautifully, and our client was very pleased. In all, we installed 600 square feet of wood flooring.

Pegged Look White Oak Floor Install and Weave-in Deerwood Country Club

/in , , /by

A previous client had us come install a custom weave-in to an area of their solid Finished pegged look white oak flooringwhite oak floor, and then refinish some additional wood flooring, in their charming home in the Deerwood Country Club community of Jacksonville, Florida.

This project involved not only installing new Solid White Oak plank select flooring from Shamrock Plank Flooring in random width planks (3″, 6″, and 8″ wide), but also weaving the new wood flooring into some existing flooring which was also 3 “, 6″, and 8” random widths.

The new White Oak flooring planks being installed would be enhanced with a pegged look as though they were held down with dark Walnut pegs. (The pegged look wood floor effect is achieved by pre-drilling holes near the ends of each plank, prior to their installation and then inserting walnut plugs (to simulate pegs) after the planks are installed.)

We glued and nailed the new wood flooring installation.

Dan’s Floor Store also sanded the newly installed wood floor along with all of the other existing wood flooring on first floor the home for a total of 2700 ft.² of flooring. (This refinishing did not include the wood flooring that we had installed on the second floor of this home in March.) And as we worked, a rainbow came our to brighten our day.

Dan’s Floor Store finished the new wood flooring with Bona flooring products:

  • Bona DriFast Oil-Based Sealer
  • Two coats of Bona Traffic Waterborne satin finish

Costa Rican Teak Floor Install Pablo Pointe

/in /by

Close-up of Costa Rican Teak wood flooringAlthough Dan’s Floor Store sells a variety of wood flooring, we also can install wood flooring that our client provides.

For this project, we installed some Costa Rican Teak hardwood flooring which these repeat clients had saved from a wood flooring project we had done years ago in their home off San Pablo Rd. in Pablo Pointe subdivision. We have made many Costa Rican Teak hardwood flooring installations over the years. Now the clients wanted this same, stunning wood flooring installed in two bedrooms for their children.

Here’s some photos of one of the carpeted bedrooms (before the old carpeting was removed), the concrete subfloor being prepared, and the Costa Rican Teak hardwood flooring being installed in one of the bedrooms. This wood flooring installation project was completed in two days; a very nice install.

Costa Rican Teak hardwood flooring is very beautiful; stunningly wild and natural looking.

Our customers are exceedingly happy with their new flooring installation.

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 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!
