Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 does flooring, tile, and stone work for Residential and Commercial clients.

A local building contractor friend recently contracted Dan and his team to install 9.4″ wide engineered French Oak hardwood flooring from the Asheville collection by Palmetto Road in a new construction home in the Palencia community in St. Augustine, Florida. This home has over 3,000 square feet of floor space downstairs, and 1,300 square feet of flooring upstairs. This new house has large open rooms (and closets) and plenty of big windows, from which to enjoy views of the surrounding area.

– Exterior of new house.

Our flooring installation practice begins with leveling the subfloors. We leveled the concrete slab subfloor downstairs. And our crew sanded and hand scraped the edges of the sheet plywood subfloor upstairs. A quality flooring installation requires a leveled subfloor.

– Leveling.

We began engineered French Oak flooring installation at the back doors of the new house. Our crew laid flooring side to side as you entered the front door of the house. The hallway was over 80 feet long, and included a lot of doorways and door casings (to tuck the flooring under).

As can be seen in several photos, the fireplace provided opportunities for our crew to display our skill at tight flooring fitting. Our motto is “Measure twice, cut once.”

– Installing.

Our builder friend told us that he was very pleased with our French Oak flooring installation in the new house. Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!

French Oak hardwood flooring, installed - staircase.

French Oak Hardwood Flooring and Stairs – Palencia

/in , /by

After one of our FREE consultations, these clients looked at our selection of engineered hardwood flooring at our showroom, and selected 7 1/2″ wide French White Oak engineered hardwood flooring by Chesapeake Flooring, color Catalyst. Then contracted Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 to install on the floors and stairway in their home.

Then the couple went out of the country, and entrusted our team to get the whole job done in 10 days:

  • moving their furniture out
  • leveling the subfloors
  • installing the hardwood flooring on the floors and staircase
  • moving their furniture back into their home.

After we removed the furniture from the project home, our crew leveled the concrete slab subfloor downstairs with quality Bostick self leveling underlayment. We leveled the sheet plywood floor upstairs by sanding the edges of the sheets. A level subfloor is important to a good hardwood flooring installation.

Here are some photos of the leveled downstairs concrete slab subfloor and prepared stair frame. Some of the photos show where we removed a little concrete around the brick features in the kitchen, so the Oak planks could extend under their edges.

This project home had some curved walls and walls set at a diagonal to the main (length and width) dimensions of the rooms. Not a problem for us because our crew practices “measure twice and cut once” workmanship. We installed the European Oak hardwood flooring using durable, dependable Bostik GreenForce Adhesive.

Our crew finished the Oak hardwood flooring installation on the stair frame with matching stair nosing.

In all, we installed approximately 2200 square feet of the 7 1/2″ wide French White Oak engineered hardwood flooring in this home.

And then our team moved the furniture back into our client’s home.

When they returned home, our clients told us that they loved how their new hardwood floors and staircase look. Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!

French Oak flooring - installed.

8″ wide French Oak Flooring Installation – Plantation

/in /by

Some of our local building contractors call Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 for their flooring projects (both new installations and refinishing, and also tile and stone work). This job for a local building contractor was installing 8″ wide, aged and smoked engineered French Oak flooring, Casimiro of the Villa Borghese collection by Bella Cera . We installed these wood floors in a 3,300 square foot new construction home in the Plantation community, in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.

Our crew began this project by leveling the concrete slab subfloor with quality Bostik SL175 . A leveled subfloor is important for a good flooring job.

We installed the French Oak flooring with durable Bostik GreenForce adhesive .
Some of the photos show the custom cut wooden reducers we made for every place where the Oak wood flooring met with the tile flooring. The top surface of the wood flooring was higher than that of the tile. These reducers create a smoother transition between areas of the two different flooring media.
An important part of appealing flooring installations is making precision cuts, like around in floor electrical outlets, in floor plumbing, built-in cabinetry, and fireplace hearths. Our plan is to “Measure twice, and cut once.” We used flooring straps when installing the French Oak wood flooring, because of the width of the flooring planks.

Seeing the finished French Oak flooring installation on this job, our client had to agree, it turned out beautifully. And Dan’s Floor Store likes to have happy clients!

Herringbone Pattern French Oak Floor in Nocatee

/in /by

Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 does a variety of flooring improvement projects for our clients.

French Oak flooring installed in herringbone pattern.For this project, the homeowners in Nocatee, Florida wanted 4 3/4″ wide French Oak engineered flooring by Valaire , color Lorraine installed in a herringbone pattern in their Master bedroom.

Yes, installing a wood floor in a herringbone pattern takes a little more planning, time, and work than installing wood planks side by side. But the installed flooring is both visually appealing and memorable!

After moving the bedroom furniture and removing the old flooring, we leveled the concrete slab subfloor with Bostik SL-150 Self Leveler.

We spotted some small cracks in the concrete slab subfloor. Small, surface stress cracks in poured concrete floors can appear as the home settles. Our crew fills in cracks wider than 1/4″, but the leveler fills smaller ones.

We chose Bostik GreenForce adhesive for this project.

Our clients were thrilled to see their French Oak wood Master bedroom floor done in the herringbone pattern! Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!

Engineered French Oak Plank Flooring Installed in Ponte Vedra Beach

/in , /by

A local new home builder contracted Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 to install hardwood flooring in a project home under construction in Ponte Vedra Beach, on Ponte Vedra Boulevard.

We began by doing a large amount of leveling on the concrete slab and plywood sheet subfloors. Our crew always levels the subfloor prior to installing hardwood flooring.

The flooring selected for this project was 8″ wide x 9/16″ thick, engineered French Oak plank flooring from the Charleston collection; Cottonfield by Palmetto Road.

We covered 4,000 sq.ft. of floor with this engineered French Oak hardwood. For this project, our crew used Bostik Green Force adhesive . The flooring straps we use for the wide plank installations can be seen in some of the photos.

A picture framed fireplace, and a change of direction down the hall, leading to the master suite, were two highlights of the main French Oak flooring installation work.

We also installed the French Oak planks and nosing for a staircase.

What we considered to be the showpiece of this flooring project is in the bourbon room, where our crew made a special herringbone design with the French Oak flooring. To create the herringbone pattern, we made additional cuts on each plank, to make the extra tongues and grooves needed for a solid wood floor.

Our clients and builder were thrilled with our work and the outcome. And Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients and builders.

Preview - Lake front project home in Ocala National Forest.Our client had built a home in Ocala National Forest; a lake house right on Lake DeLancey! He called Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 to install wood flooring in his new home.

Engineered French Oak Flooring Installation in Nocatee

/in /by

Unless we are working with a new construction project, flooring installation projects usually require removal of the existing floor covering. And that is how we started this engineered French Oak flooring installation project.

Our crew began this project in a home in Nocatee by removing over 2,000 square feet of existing tile and wood flooring.

After we removed the tile and old wood flooring, we found a high level of moisture in the concrete slab subfloor. The high moisture content of the slab was caused by the tile having been put down before the slab had thoroughly cured.

So, after leveling the concrete slab subfloor, we applied Bostik MVP4 Moisture Barrier to the slab to abate the prevalent moisture.

Our client chose Bella Cera Villa Borghese engineered French Oak flooring in the Abele color. To be able to properly install the French Oak flooring, we undercut the stone fireplace, using a jamb saw with a masonry bit blade.

As evidenced by the note from our client, she was overjoyed with the job that we delivered! This turned out to be another beautiful wood flooring installation! And Dan’s Floor Store likes to have happy clients!

French Oak Hardwood Flooring Install – Matching Stairs – St. Augustine Beach

/in , , /by

French Oak hardwood flooring installedIt’s always nice when a prior client refers a friend to your business. For this wood flooring installation project in Saint Augustine Beach, one of Dan’s Floor Store’s prior clients referred a friend of theirs to us.

Our new client selected Bella Cera Villa Borghese engineered French Oak hardwood flooring in the Alessandra color. This is a really beautiful flooring with that kind of a whitewashed look that blends in beautifully with the beach area in which this house is situated.

Before we could install the new wood flooring, our crew did a massive amount of floor leveling with Bostik SL-150 Self Leveling Underlayment.

Then we had to seal the concrete floor with Bostik MVP4 because of a high level of moisture in the concrete slab subfloor.

Now were were ready to glue the engineered French Oak hardwood flooring down, over top of the MVP4 moisture barrier. The solid oak stair treads were done with a perfect stain match; super beautiful.

Needless to say these customers were so thrilled with the outcome of their wood floor installation and stair tread project. And Dan’s Floor Store likes to have happy clients!

French Oak Wood Flooring Installation and Stair Treads to Match in Vilano Beach

/in , /by

This Dan’s Floor Store project was in a new construction house in Vilano Beach, Florida. The home has a nice view across the Tolomato River from the back porch (where we set up a temporary work area).

Our client chose 8″ wide engineered French Oak wood flooring; Galano from the Villa Borghese collection by Bella Cera for this project.

Our crew did a lot of prep work on the plywood subfloor, i.e., sand off paint overspray and sanding down unlevel plywood seams.

We used flooring straps when installing the French Oak wood flooring, because of the width of the flooring planks.

Our crew sanded, stained, and finished the individual stair treads to match the new French Oak wood flooring, prior to installing them. We have found that working on the stair treads prior to installing them is much more efficient. Prior to installation is preferred to doing the stair tread work in place.

Our client agreed that the new wood floors and stained and finished stair treads turned out beautifully, and Dan’s Floor Store likes to have happy clients!
