Homeowners in the Palencia community along the west bank of the Intracoastal Waterway in St. Augustine were ready for a new look in their home. They contacted Dan’s Floor Store for their flooring home improvement project – to replace 1,000 square feet of their tile flooring with some exotic wood flooring.
Our clients chose a 5 1/4″ by 1/2″ thick engineered Brazilian Pecan hardwood flooring with a “chocolate” stain by Triangulo for their new wood floor. This wood flooring, like most Brazilian specie, has a large amount of variation from plank to plank. It makes a wild looking, beautiful floor.
First our Dan’s Floor Store crew had to remove the old tile flooring.
A large amount of cuts had to be made prior to the tile being removed.
Checking moisture content of the concrete slab subfloor, we found the tile had been set prior to the slab being fully cured. So next we leveled the concrete slab, applying Bostik Universal Primer and then Bostik SL-150 Leveling Compound. To protect the wood flooring we were about to install for this project, we abated the moisture in the slab with Bostik MVP (Moisture Vapor Protection).
We installed the Brazilian Pecan hardwood flooring with Bostik Greenforce hardwood flooring adhesive. Application of Bostik Greenforce provides additional moisture protection for the new wood flooring, as well as long term adhesive durability.
Our Dan’s Floor Store crew finished out this project by installing floor trim molding around the new Brazilian Pecan hardwood flooring and at the doorways, and then kicked the carpeting back at each of the doorways to the bedrooms.
Our customers were thrilled with their new hardwood flooring! And Dan’s Floor Store likes to have happy customers.

Handscraped Hickory Flooring Install – Nocatee
/in New Wood Flooring Installation /by adminOf course, we sell solid wood, engineered wood, laminate, luxury vinyl plank flooring from our Dan’s Floor Store showroom in Ponte Vedra, but we will also install wood flooring for clients, too.
This client contracted us to install their wood flooring over existing tile in their home. We explained that the best way to install their wood flooring would be to allow us to remove the old tile, level the floor, and then install their wood flooring. We cannot warranty a wood flooring installation over existing tile, because if the tile comes up, then the wood flooring on top will come up too. We explained that to our client and also stated that in writing with the homeowner. But the homeowner said they understood and still wanted their handscraped Hickory flooring installed over their existing tile flooring, so that is what we did.
Our crew used Bostik GreenForce adhesive to adhere the wood flooring to the tile.
We also installed new quarter round and various moldings to complete the job.
Our homeowner client was very pleased with their new Pergo handscraped Hickory flooring installation, and Dan’s Floor Store likes to have happy clients.

Prefinished Birch Wood Flooring Installation – World Golf Village
/in New Wood Flooring Installation /by adminAs part of this home improvement project for this World Golf Village condo, we replaced existing carpeting with prefinished birch wood flooring.
The first step was removing 700 square feet of carpeting from the condo.
Next our Dan’s Floor Store crew leveled the concrete subfloor in the area that had been carpeted. We level the subfloor prior to installing wood floors to create a flat surface, which minimizes damage to the wood and maximizes the wood flooring life.
With the subfloor leveled, we installed the 5″ wide by 3/8″ thick, hand scraped, prefinished Birch wood flooring. as provided by the builder.
Our crew made our own moldings for this project, and did some clean carpet tucks where the wood and carpet in bedrooms met. This job turned out great, and our builder and the homeowner were pleased. And Dan’s Floor Store likes to have happy clients!

Sand and Finish American Cherry Flooring – St. Augustine, Florida
/in Wood Floor Refinishing /by adminAmerican cherry is a rare species to see these days. Most flooring manufacturers stopped making it because of how soft it is, but it is a very beautiful flooring.
They had pre-finished aluminum oxide American Cherry flooring in their home. Aluminum oxide is a very tough finish. It took three cuts with the sander to get all of the old finish off the wood flooring.
Next our crew applied Bona oil-modified DriFast Sealer.
We finished the American Cherry flooring with two coats of Bona oil-modified polyurethane finish for a tough protective coat with a slight amber color to enhance the natural tone of the wood.
Needless to say our clients were very happy with the outcome of their newly sanded and refinished American Cherry floors. And Dan’s Floor Store likes to have happy clients!

Sand and Finish Weave-in Repaired Red Oak Select Grade Flooring – St. Augustine
/in New Tile Installation, Wood Floor Refinishing, Wood Floor Repair, wood floor weave-in /by adminAfter allowing one month of acclamation time for the new solid Red Oak select grade flooring, we came back to sand and finish the Red Oak floors.
First, the acclimated wood flooring had to be sanded.
After sanding, our crew “popped” the wood flooring grain with water to give a deeper, darker color when we applied the stain. The stain selected was Early American by MinWax. Then we finished the floors with one coat of Bona drifast Sealer.
And then we waited around a month or so to allow the kitchen cabinets to come in. Next our Dan’s Floor Store crew buffed down the sealer coat on the Red Oak select grade flooring and applied two coats of Bona oil-modified satin.
Our clients were thrilled with the outcome of their floor, and Dan’s Floor Store likes to have happy clients!

Engineered White Oak Wood Flooring Installation – Palencia Country Club
/in New Wood Flooring Installation /by adminWhen owners were ready to replace the carpeting in the master bedroom and office of their Palencia home, they called Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 for a free consultation and estimate.

The next day, our Dan’s Floor Store crew installed all the new engineered White Oak wood flooring, about 400 square feet of it.
And on our last day on the job site, we finished the project out with shoe molding all around the new wood floors and helped move the client’s furniture back in place.
