Installing Maple Flooring and Matching Stair Treads – Sawgrass Country Club

/in , /by

Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 enjoys being able to participate in home improvement projects. New or refinished wood flooring can give a home a whole new look. These clients wanted to replace the existing flooring in their home with wood flooring.

Installed Maple hardwood flooringThe project began when our clients visited our Dan’s Floor Store showroom in Ponte Vedra and selected Nuvelle‘s Blowing Rock Maple Cognac for their home. Their selection is 6 1/2″ wide, prefinished, hand-scraped Maple hardwood flooring. They also wanted solid Maple stair treads installed and finished to match their new wood flooring.

Work on this project began with our crew removing 2,000 square feet of wood and tile, and another 700 square feet of carpeting from the floors of a home in the Sawgrass Country Club community.

Our Dan’s Floor Store crew did a massive amount of leveling on first floor subfloor. We level the subfloor prior to installing wood floors to create a flat surface, which minimizes damage to the wood and maximizes the flooring life. Upstairs, we sanded the plywood subfloor seams to provide a level surface for the new wood flooring.

We installed the new Maple flooring on the first and second floors of the home.

We selected solid Maple stair treads, perfectly matched to the prefinished hand-scraped Maple hardwood flooring. Our crew first sanded these stair treads. Then we “popped” the grain in the treads with a little water, to open up the wood grains to better absorb the stain. The crew first applied DuraSeal Espresso stain, followed by a second coat of equal parts of DuraSeal Red Mahogany and Antique Brown. Our staining process infused a touch of red that was prevalent in the prefinished Maple flooring that the clients selected.

These clients were thrilled with their new Maple floors and stairs! And Dan’s Floor Store is always happy when we have happy clients.

Engineered Maple Flooring Replacing Tile – Palencia

/in /by

Palencia Golf and Country Club community homeowners called Dan’s Floor Store for our free consultation and estimate. They wanted to replace 1600 square feet of tile flooring that had been originally installed in their home with wood flooring. Home improvements can often improve the value of a home, as well as make it more enjoyable for the owners.

Maple flooring installedOur clients chose an engineered maple flooring made by Mirage; 6 1/4″ X 1/2″called Maple Peppermint, it has a grey color and is a very beautiful flooring.

Mirage is one of the best brands of engineered wood flooring in the industry. It is FSC certified wood flooring. The FSC stamp is the hardest stamp to get on wood flooring, because FSC is the Forestry Stewardship Council. That means that all of the wood comprised in the Mirage engineering wood flooring is eco sound and compliant to the highest standards.

Our crew had a lot of floor tile to remove. We put plastic film over cabinets and appliances, to protect them during tile removal.

Then we leveled the concrete slab sub floor. A level surface helps wood flooring last longer.

After leveling the slab we also had to seal the concrete with Bostik’s MVP (Moisture Vapor Protection) prior to installation. Sealer was required because the slab had tile put on it before it was fully cured. Not letting the concrete slab cure before installing tile traps the moisture between slab and tile. Dan’s Floor Store understands how this trapped moisture can penetrate and damage new wood flooring. It is our practice to check every concrete slab for trapped moisture prior to installation.

With the sub floor leveled, the installation of the engineered maple flooring progressed smoothly.

Needless to say this maple flooring job turned out really beautiful! Our clients were very pleased with the new look that the maple wood floors gave their home. And Dan’s Floor Store likes having happy clients!

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.
