Refinished American Cherry flooring and stairs.

Cupped American Cherry Flooring in Fernandina

Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 was contacted by one of our favorite real estate brokers to help their client with the floors in their newly purchased home. The home is situated right on the Amelia River, just across the water from Fernandina Beach and Amelia Island.

The existing flooring was American Cherry flooring and due to being solid in nature had a good amount of cupping (probably from lack of acclimating the flooring properly, prior to installation).

Solving the flooring cupping problem was the main reason we were selected for this job. No one likes to walk on a cupped floor.

Some of these before photos show the distinct, cupping pattern. Cupping happens when the bottom of the wood is wetter than the top of the wood. In this case, the American Cherry wood flooring which was put in didn’t have enough acclamation time went through the seasonal changes of Northeast Florida, i.e. the extreme humidity. We also refinished the stairway.

Needless to say, we took care of the cupping in the wood flooring by angling the floor by using rough sandpapers and our Lagler Hummel drum sanding machine. We also hand sanded the edges of the flooring. This method gets the flooring surface flat. as well as sanding the surface to prepare it for a new finish. It took 3 runs of paper with our Lagler Hummel drum sander, but our crew eliminated both the cupping and former carpet lines from an area rug had created on the flooring. The sanded wooden flooring and stair treads looked very, very beautiful!

Our crew finished these floors and stairs with three coats of waterborne finish with a satin topcoat Pallmann Clear for a seal coat, and final two coats of durable Pallman power satin.

The realtor and our clients told us they were impressed with how nice these American Cherry floors look now. Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!

This wood floor and stairway refinishing job by Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 took place in an absolutely stunning home in Clay County, Florida, on Black Creek. Our client contracted us to sand and finish their 2,000+ square feet of tropical exotic hardwood Jatoba (also known as Brazilian Cherry) wood flooring and staircase.

Our crew sanded the floors and staircase with long stair treads, to remove the old finish.

Then we applied the Bona Intense Seal, as chosen by our customer. After applying the sealer, our crew buffed down the grain of the wood, raised by the water sealer, to a super smooth surface. We finished the Brazilian Cherry floors and stairway with 3 coats of Bona Traffic HD matte finish.

Our clients told us that they were very happy with their refinished Brazilian Cherry wood floors and staircase. Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy customers.

Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 was contracted to sand and finish the solid Red Oak flooring and 2 stairways in a home in Yulee, Florida. This is an old home, located on the marsh, just west of Fernandina Beach. One set of stairs was Red Oak, the other was Pine.

We found the flooring to be in good shape overall, no repairs were needed.

Our crew sanded the floors using our Lagler-Hummel belt sander on the larger areas of the floors. and also sanded all of the stair treads. We hand scraped the edges of the floors and stair treads.

During a break, we enjoyed the view of the nearby marsh.

Our crew refinished the wood flooring and wooden stair treads back to a beautiful, natural look. We applied Pallmann Clear Sealer, followed by 2 coats of Pallmann matte finish.

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!

Old Heart Pine floors, refinished by Dan's Floor Store.

Refinish Old Heart Pine Floors – Downtown Jacksonville FL

This Heart Pine wood floor refinishing project took Dan and his Dan’s Floor Store crew to an older home in downtown Jacksonville, Florida.

The flooring in the home was circa 1900 Heart Pine, and the old home was adorned with interesting historic photos of Jacksonville and surrounding areas.

The finish on these old wooden floors in the project home was worn with years of use, but did not need repairs (such as weaving in replacement Heart Pine planks).

We began by sanding the floors, and then hand scraping the edges of the wood flooring.

Our team finished these floors with a durable Pallmann finish.

The before and after photos show that these Heart Pine plank floors turned out beautifully for the age of the floors. Our clients were very pleased with their refinished old Heart Pine wood floors! Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!

Painted Stairways for a Home on the St. Johns River

Owners of a country home on Florida County Road 13 (with a nice view of the St. Johns River) contracted Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 to sand and finish their two stairways for a new look for their home. We can do that!

During their FREE on-site consultation, these clients selected a matte black Sherwin Williams stair paint for their staircases.

Our crew began by sanding and hand scraping the edges of the Maple stair treads and landings of the stairways. Bare wood helps the stair paint adhere better to last longer, through daily traffic.

We masked off the areas of the stairways to be painted. Then our crew applied the quality Sherwin Williams stair paint with a matte black finish.

For added durability while retaining the non-reflective finish, we added a Pallmann matte to finish to the painted staircases.

Our clients told us that we had achieved just the look they had wanted for their stairs! Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients.

Oak Staircase Refinished in Markland in St. Augustine

The owners of a home in the Markland community, in St. Augustine, Florida contracted Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 to refinish their Red Oak staircase to match the look of the laminate flooring in their home.

Our crew sanded and then hand scraped the stair treads, landings, and rails. Next we applied a black stain to the Red Oak wood, then sanded the surfaces just enough, leaving some of the stain in the wood grain. Our crew added a smokey look to the stair treads with a Rubio Monocoat Smoke .

We followed this up with Rubio Monocoat Natural. Allowed several weeks; ample time to cure. And then our crew coated the stairs, landings and rails with Pallmann Pall-X Gold.

Our homeowners said they were impressed how well we had matched the Oak stairway to their laminate flooring, and how nice their stairway looks. Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!

Refinish Red Oak Stairway – Payasada in Ponte Vedra Beach

Homeowners in the Payasada community in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida contracted Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 to refinish their Red Oak stairway to harmonize with the White Oak flooring in their home.

Red Oak stair treads and landings often have a orangey-pinkish hue to them. Overcoming / subduing the pink shades in Red Oak to mimic White Oak is a tough obstacle. But Dan’s Floor Store gets the job done!

After sanding and hand scraping the edges of these Red Oak stair treads and landings, our crew applied a white stain. Next came durable Pallmann products; two coats of Pallmann White Seal on top of two coats of Pallmann Pure. This resulted in a duller than matte finish look that our clients wanted.

  • Pallmann matte sheen level is 10.
  • The sheen level of these stair treads and landings was 2 to 3; much duller than matte.
  • This further helped subdue the pink shades in the Red Oak wood.

Our clients told us their Red Oak stairway turned out beautifully, and we had to agree with them. Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have a happy client.
