Homeowners in Sawgrass, on TPC side Contacted Dan’s Floor Store for a free consultation and estimate.
The homeowners wanted to change the look of the red oak wood flooring in their home.
It had become very yellowed due to aging and use of an oil based polyurethane finish.
Following some conversation with the homeowners to find out their preferences, Dan suggested using a brand new sealer called Bona NordicSeal.
Bona NordicSeal creates a whitewashed look for wood floors without the use of caustic materials like bleach. NordicSeal creates the look of staining a wood floor white after 3 coats of it have been applied applied. Whitewashed wood floors are coming back en vogue. We believe NordicSeal is something special; it creates a look that is very cool!
First we sanded and hand scraped the old red oak flooring and stair treads, rails, and newel posts to remove the old, yellowed finish.
After applying 3 coats of the Bona NordicSeal we achieved a wood flooring color that looks so white. It helps subdue all the pinks and yellows you would usually see in red oak wood flooring with a natural finish.
We appreciate the confidence shown in Dan’s Floor Store by our clients – jumping on the opportunity to use this new product. Not only were our clients blown away with the whitewashed look of their red oak flooring, so was Dan.
After the three coats of NordicSeal were applied, we buffed down the sealer and then top coated the wood flooring with Bona Traffic HD satin.
The stairs, rails and newel posts were coated the same to blend with the floor.

Walnut-Pegged Red Oak Plank Flooring Install – Finish – St. Augustine
/in New Wood Flooring Installation /by adminThis article is about the completion of a wood floor project in a home located in the Davis Shores community in St. Augustine, Florida. The project was a result of the damaged caused by flooding during hurricane Matthew, in the fall of 2016.
Behind the home is the waterfront of Mantanzas Bay. The home sits just across the Bay from Castillo de San Marco..
These homeowners had called Dan’s Floor Store because they wanted to have the wood floors in their home restored to look like the Walnut-pegged Red Oak plank flooring that they enjoyed having before the storm. The old wood floors had been water damaged by the hurricane and had to be removed.
In the previous Dan’s Floor Store article on this project, we had drilled the red oak planks for the walnut pegs, and installed the red oak plank flooring. After the flooring was installed, we waited over a month to allow the solid wood flooring to acclimate.
Then we inserted all the 3/4″ Walnut pegs, gluing them into their previously drilled holes in the Red Oak plank flooring.
The next step in this installation was sanding the new Walnut-pegged Red Oak plank flooring.
Then we stained the new Red Oak plank flooring with DuraSeal Golden Brown
To protect the Walnut-pegged Red Oak plank flooring, we finished it with Bona oil-modified Woodline satin polyurethane.
Our clients were very happy with their new Red Oak plank floors with Walnut pegs. And Dan’s Floor Store like to have happy clients.

Red Oak Plank Flooring with Walnut Pegs – St. Augustine Install
/in New Wood Flooring Installation /by adminThis wood floor project was another one that resulted from flooding during hurricane Matthew, in the fall of 2016.
The project home is located in the Davis Shores community in St. Augustine, Florida. Behind the home is the waterfront of Mantanzas Bay. The home is sitting just across the water from Castillo de San Marco.
The homeowners called Dan’s Floor Store because they wanted to have the wood floors in their home restored to look like the Red Oak plank floors with Walnut pegs that they enjoyed having before the storm. The old wood floors had been water damaged by the hurricane and had to be removed.
We ordered solid, unfinished select Red Oak plank flooring in random widths from one of our sources. The 4″, 6″, and 8″ wide planks are 3/4″ thick.
The peg pattern in the old wooden floor was unique. We took measurements and made some drilling jigs to help us mimic the drill pattern for the 3/4″ holes we needed for installing the Walnut pegs in the new Red Oak flooring.
Our Dan’s Floor Store crew drilled all the peg holes in the Red Oak plank flooring.
Here are some photos taken as we installed the new solid Red Oak wood flooring.
Our Dan’s Floor Store wood flooring work complies with NWFA standards to provide beautiful results and long lasting wood floors for our clients. As an example, when installing solid wood flooring like we did in this project, 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 to achieve adequate spacing.
After the flooring was installed, we waited over a month to allow the solid wood flooring to acclimate.
See the stained and finished Red Oak plank flooring with Walnut pegs in our concluding article on this project – Walnut-Pegged Red Oak Plank Flooring Install – Finish – St. Augustine.

Beachy Look White Oak Flooring Installation – St. Augustine
/in New Wood Flooring Installation /by adminDan’s Floor Store was called by a previous client living in Davis Shores in St. Augustine, Florida to install some new wood flooring. We had refinished his wood floors, sanding and staining them during our prior visit. Then Hurricane Matthew came through and the floors in his home ended up under 17 inches of water!
His old flooring had to be removed along with the subfloor, drywall, doors and baseboards. All are new because of the hurricane’s water damage.
Dan’s Floor Store crew prepared the new plywood subfloor by edging down the seams of the plywood sheets. The edged seams makes it possible for the new wood flooring to lay flat across subfloor. You can see the edged subfloor sheets in in some of the project photos.
We used Bostik’s GreenForce adhesive, a Zero VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) adhesive, for this job.
Dan’s Floor Store uses special flooring straps to hold these White Oak wood planks together during installation, due to the width of the planks.
The White Oak wood flooring in the Foundry color shows shades of grey, silver, and black, to exemplify a beachy modern flooring look.
Our client was very pleased with their new beachy look white oak wood floors. We are glad to have clients that like our work. Many of our previous clients recommend us to their family and friends for wood floor installations, wood floor refinishing, and tile and stone work. Always nice to have clients who appreciate your work and introduce more potential clients to you.

Rift and Quarter Sawn Red Oak Flooring Installation – Ormond Beach
/in New Wood Flooring Installation /by adminWood flooring not only looks good but properly installed wood flooring will often increase the value of a home or business during resale.
Our client selected 9/16″ thick by 5″ wide, engineered, straight grain, rift and quarter sawn Red Oak flooring by EcoTimber. Each plank is about 3′ long, and select grade.
We don’t have any photos of removing the existing flooring on this project. On some projects, we start by removing the old carpeting and carpet padding. For some projects, we remove existing tile, or old wood or laminate flooring.
On this project, first we leveled the concrete subfloor. Leveling is an important step. Pad and carpet can hide the unlevel concrete slab, but wood flooring (or tile flooring for that matter) cannot. The concrete or wood subfloor needs to be leveled before hard surface flooring such as wood or tile is installed, to prevent damaging or reducing the useful life of the wood or tile flooring.
Then we started installing the new rift and quarter sawn Red Oak flooring. There were some long runs of wood flooring in this project. The longest run of wood flooring was 70′ long – down the hallway and then into a back room. The new Red Oak flooring really looks nice.
Our clients liked how their new Red Oak wood floors look, and we like having happy clients.

Hickory Wood Look Floor Tile – Ponte Vedra Sawgrass
/in New Tile Installation /by adminDan’s Floor Store was selected to be part of a home improvement project in the Ponte Vedra Sawgrass community. The homeowners wanted to replace their old carpeting and some tiled flooring with new, wood look tile flooring.
We began work on this project with removal of the old carpeting, and existing tiled flooring.
Next we leveled the concrete subfloor. Floor leveling is very important in preparation for installation of new hard surface flooring. Unlevel floors can cause wood or tile flooring to crack, reducing the life of the new flooring and requiring replacement of the wood or tile flooring.
Dan’s Floor Store recommends the quality wood look porcelain tiles made by Daltile. These wood look tiles will resist moisture, are easy to maintain, and the tiles even help with heating and cooling (because porcelain remains cool to the touch, as a result of its composition). Digital imaging and high-tech manufacturing produce wood-grain porcelain tiles with very realistic textures and visual details. It’s often difficult to distinguish wood look tiles from real wood flooring without taking a much closer look.
We installed the 6″ x 36″ wood-look floor tile planks in a three step pattern, running side to side in the home.
Our clients are very happy with their tile installation home improvements by Dan’s Floor Store. And we always like to have happy clients!

Hickory Wood Floor Repair – St. Augustine
/in Wood Floor Repair, wood floor weave-in /by adminYikes! It doesn’t take a lot of water to damage a wood floor!
Dan’s Floor Store was contracted to repair some water damaged Hickory wood flooring at the Beachcomber condos in St. Augustine, Florida. Beachcomber is in a very scenic location, with a super view of the Atlantic Ocean.
There were several areas of Hickory flooring that were damaged and needed to be removed.
In all, we removed approximately 45 water damaged Hickory boards from the floor.
After we were sure the subfloor was thoroughly dried out, we wove in the new hand scraped Hickory Natural pre-finished engineered hardwood flooring from Naturally Aged wood flooring.
The owners really liked how good their repaired Hickory floors look now. And Dan’s Floor Store likes to have happy clients.

Engineered Birch Flooring Installation – Magnolia Point Country Club
/in New Wood Flooring Installation /by adminA local construction company who was flipping a home called Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 to be part of remodeling their project home.
Their project home was located in the Magnolia Point Country Club community in Green Cove Springs, Florida. They wanted engineered Birch flooring installed in the home.
This Magnolia Point Country Club home had long steps or stepped levels of flooring. Our project was to cover about 1300 ft.² of home floor area. The main concrete subfloor and the elevated sections of subfloor all needed to be leveled, in order to prolong the life of the wood flooring that we were about to install. There was a massive amount of leveler used to achieve the level floor surface that we needed for this job.
Our clients selected Gray Fog, 5 inch wide by 3/8 inch thick, hand scraped engineered Birch flooring by Chesapeake Flooring.
We used Bostiks Pro-Cure as an adhesive because there was a great moisture reading. As always, we use a concrete moisture meter to determine if there is moisture in the concrete slab, prior to installing our flooring.
Our builder clients were very pleased with their finished engineered Birch flooring.

Tile Backsplash Installation – Hickory Manor
/in New Tile Installation /by adminThe homeowners found and purchased an ornate tile shape for their kitchen backsplash. They contacted Dan’s Floor Store and asked us to professionally install the tile backsplash for them.
Our crew installed their tile with mastic, grouted with white grout. We chose a white plastic Schluter to match the tile and grout and trim the backsplash out. This combination gave the backsplash a nice, clean look.
