2 1/4" engineered Red Oak flooring.

Install 2 1/4 wide Red Oak Engineered flooring – Glen Kernan CC

/in , , /by

Some of our Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 flooring projects involve installing new wood flooring to match existing wood flooring in a home. Such was the case in a recent project for a home in Glenn Kernan Golf and Country Club. For this project, the new, engineered wood flooring would be installed flush with the existing, solid wood flooring.

We began the project by leveling the concrete slab subfloor with Bostik‘s SL 175. Based on our experience, we believe a quality flooring installation starts with a leveled subfloor.

Our crew installed 2 1/4” wide x 5/8” thick Red Oak engineered wood flooring by Maxwell,to line up with and continue the flooring plank lines of the existing 2 1/4” solid Red Oak wood flooring, across the header boards at doorways. We made directional changes going into the master bedroom leading to master bathroom. And then our crew did re-directional changes of the Red Oak wood flooring planks in master bedroom closets as well. We glued down the new wood with Bostik‘s Green Force adhesive. Blue tape, used to hold the flooring in place until the adhesive sets, can be seen in some of the photos. The flooring patterns looked very nice!

We sanded all the floors, the stairway treads, rails and newel posts for a sanded wood or untreated look, treating the bare wood with Pallmann Nature Seal followed by Pallmann Pure finish.

The homeowners told us that they loved the look of their Red Oak floors, and refinished stairway! Dan’s Floor Store is always happy to have satisfied customers.

Installed European Oak hardwood flooring - featured.

Installing 7 1/2 wide European Oak flooring in Fernandina Beach

/in /by

One of our home building contractor associates subcontracted Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 to install hardwood flooring in a home they were building in Fernandina Beach, on Amelia Island. A 7 1/2″ wide wire-brushed European Oak hardwood flooring by Reward flooring was selected for this project.

Our crew starts each installation project by leveling the subfloor. A leveled subfloor is important for a quality flooring installation. And while leveling, we took a peek out one of the back windows of the home.

After the subfloors were leveled, we began installation of the European Oak hardwood flooring. The flooring was installed in two different directions, giving the floors a more interesting appearance. Blue tape, used to hold the flooring in place until the adhesive sets, can be seen in some of the photos.

This contractor client told us he really liked the looks of this Oak flooring installation. Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!

White Oak hardwood flooring installed.

Installing 9 1/2″ wide White Oak Hardwood Flooring in North St. Augustine

/in /by

A leak ruined the flooring upstairs in this home, and the home owner called Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303.

After one of our FREE consultations the home owner selected 9 1/2″ wide White Oak engineered hardwood, color Fresco, by Shaw Expressions Flooring.

Next, a good flooring installation requires a level subfloor, so we sanded the edges of the plywood sheet subflooring to create a level subfloor.

During a break, we peeked out the rear windows, enjoying the home owner’s nice view of their back yard and the marsh.

Our crew installed the White Oak hardwood flooring using Bostik GreenForce adhesive.

Our client was very pleased with the new flooring in the second story of their home. We thought the new White Oak flooring looked beautiful and Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!

Following one of our Free consultation and estimate meetings, these homeowners selected 9 1/2″ wide engineered hardwood European Oak – Baron, from the Grande Savoy collection by DuChateau –  for their home in the Sawmill Lakes community of Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.

After our crew removed the existing flooring, we leveled the concrete slab subfloor with Bostik SL-150 self-leveling underlayment. A level subfloor is important for a quality wood flooring installation! Leveling protects the wood flooring from flexing damage after installation.

Then we installed the 9 1/2″ wide European Oak flooring, using quality Bostik GreenForce adhesive. The flooring straps we use for the wide plank installations can be seen in some of the photos.

Installing Winter Oak plank flooring in Nocatee

/in /by

Some Dan’s Floor Store flooring projects cover large areas of flooring in a home or business. Others may focus on one or two rooms, or a staircase or more. These homeowners, live in the Coastal Oaks community of Nocatee. They contracted Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 to replace the old carpeting in the second floor of their home with Oak wood flooring.

Our clients chose 7″ wide engineered Winter Oak plank flooring from the Vintage collection by Mohawk for this home improvement.

First we removed 1,600 square feet of old carpeting. In one of the photos, looking over the banister, you can see the Oak plank flooring on the first floor. The new Oak flooring will continue that look on the second floor.

Next we leveled the second floor plywood subfloor to prepare it for the Oak plank flooring installation, by sanding and hand scraping any high spots.

Our crew started installing the Winter Oak plank flooring from the top of the stairs, running the planks front to back like downstairs. We used flooring straps to hold the wide planks in place during installation.

The banister was much higher than the flooring. So, we milled down custom trim pieces to frame the base of the banister. Our crew also made custom trim for the bathroom doorways.

Such a beautiful area! Lots of wildlife! We saw a gator and two red tail hawks while we were there. Here are some photos from the back yard of the home.

Our clients told us they loved how their new Winter Oak plank floors look. And Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!

Install, Sand and Finish Red Oak Flooring – Mandarin

/in /by

Riverside Mandarin - client's homeClients whose home was damaged by Hurricane Irma (which came through Jacksonville, Florida in September 2017), called Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 to help restore their home.

This project started with us leveling the concrete slab subfloor (as we do for all wood flooring installation jobs). Our clients selected a 3″ wide, unfinished, engineered Red Oak flooring by Maxwell. This wood flooring product is made in the USA, and will harmonize with the existing 3″ wide Red Oak flooring on the upper floor. (Which our crew will sand and stain in a few weeks, to match the color wood flooring selected for the first floor wood.) We installed the Red Oak flooring using Bostik Pro Cure adhesive. To prepare the fireplace in the center of the room for the new wood flooring, our crew undercut the bottom edge with a jamb saw equipped with a diamond blade. We measured and cut each board to fit the bumpy contour of the central fireplace with a jig saw.

After completing the flooring installation, our crew began sanding the new flooring. Our client’s selection of an engineered wood flooring was a benefit to the time frame required for this project. This is because engineered wood does not require acclimation time after installation; we can begin sanding the flooring to prepare for staining and finishing immediately.

Next we “popped the grain” of the wood with water, to achieve a deep, beautiful color stain. Our crew applied Bona Jacobean stain.

We finished this Red Oak flooring with durable Pallmann products – 1 coat of Pallmann Clear Sealer, and 2 coats of Pallmann Power finish – satin.

Our customers told us that they were overjoyed to see their beautiful Red Oak floors. And Dan’s Floor Store always enjoys having happy clients! We will be back in a few weeks to sand, stain and finish the Red Oak flooring upstairs. So, “Stay tuned” for a follow-up article about our work in this home!

Replacing Tile with French/German White Oak Flooring – Ponte Vedra Beach

/in /by

A homeowner in the Sea Winds community, off of Corona Road in Ponte Vedra Beach, was ready to replace about 1600 square feet of Mexican style tile flooring in their home with some new wood flooring. They called Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 for a free consultation and estimate.

After our meeting with the homeowner, they chose Forest Accents Euro Textures engineered French/German White Oak flooring, color name Ardesia for the new wood flooring for their home. This Ardesia wood flooring color has beautiful tones of gray, taupe, and browns within the flooring.

First our crew removed the existing Mexican style tile flooring.

We did a massive amount of leveling of the concrete slab subfloor after the tile flooring removal was completed.

Our client was super happy with their new French/German White Oak flooring installation, and Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!

Red Oak Clear Grade Flooring – Refinishing and Installing – San Marco

/in , /by

A homeowner in the historic San Marco community in Jacksonville, Florida called Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 for a free consultation and estimate. They needed to have their old Red Oak clear grade flooring stained and refinished.

They also needed wood flooring installed in an addition to their home. And they wanted the new wood flooring to blend with the refinished existing wood floors. They contracted Dan’s Floor Store to help them accomplish these home improvements.

For one part of this wood flooring project, we sanded and refinished 1600 square feet of existing Red Oak clear grade flooring in the home. The old Red Oak flooring was very cupped. Our crew had to approach the old wood floor at a 45° angle twice with the sander in order to flatten the flooring. Then we rough cut the flooring straight with the sander.

For the other part of this project, our Dan’s Floor Store crew was to install new Red Oak clear grade flooring in the addition to the home. Before we could begin to install the new wood flooring, our crew installed plywood with a moisture barrier over the concrete slab subfloor. We installed the plywood and moisture barrier to protect the new wood flooring from moisture and in compliance with the National Wood Flooring Association and American Plywood Association standards.

Package of Red Oak clear grade flooring.The species wood flooring for this project was Red Oak clear grade. Clear grade Red Oak wood flooring was used a lot in the 1950s.

These days, mostly select Red Oak wood flooring is used.

If you held select and clear grades of flooring side by side, you would quickly see the difference; Red Oak clear grade wood doesn’t have any knots in it.

We installed a header board between the old wood flooring and the new wood flooring that we would install in the addition. Our Dan’s Floor Store crew lined all of our new Red Oak clear grade flooring boards up to the existing wood flooring that merged with the header board. And used Woodwise Full Trowel Filler for small variations in the wood flooring planks.

To get the effect our client wanted, we used the refinishing technique of “popping” (opening up) the grain of the wood with water prior to applying the stain. This extra step allowed the stain to penetrate deeper, creating a deeper, darker tone. Then we applied Medium Brown stain by DuraSeal.

Next our Dan’s Floor Store crew applied Bona DriFast Sealer for our first coat of polyurethane on the stained wood flooring. Then we buffed the Sealer coat down and applied two coats of Bona Traffic HD extra matte.

We believe this is one of the best jobs we’ve done all year; this Red Oak wood flooring turned out absolutely beautiful! The homeowner was super super happy and Dan’s Floor Store likes having happy clients!

/in /by

If you are thinking about improvements to your home or business involving wood or vinyl flooring or tile work, call Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 for a free consultation and estimate.

That’s what a couple living in southwest St. Augustine, Florida did. They wanted to replace their existing flooring with new wood flooring. They chose engineered, wire-brushed Oak hardwood flooring, 9 3/4″ wide by 5/8″ thick in random lengths by Naturally Aged Flooring – “Santa Cruz” for their new wood floors.

First we removed over 2,700 square feet of their existing flooring. Wood flooring requires a flat surface to minimize damage to the wood and maximize the flooring life. The concrete slab subfloor in this home required a lot of leveling, as you can see in these photos.

With the subfloor leveling completed, we installed the new wire-brushed Oak hardwood flooring. We matched the thresholds/”t” molding to the new wood flooring, and also did some baseboard work and new shoe molding.

This wood flooring project took about two weeks, and the new hardwood floors are really beautiful throughout.  Our clients were very happy with their new wire-brushed Oak hardwood flooring, and Dan’s Floor Store likes to have happy clients.

New wood floors (whether solid wood, engineered wood, or laminate), or refinishing the wood flooring in your home or business office will improve it’s looks and value. Give Dan’s Floor Store a call 904.887.8303 to make an appointment for a free consultation and estimate.

Dan’s Floor Store delivers!

Oak hardwood flooring installed (detail)This client selected 9/16″ thick by 4 3/4″ wide engineered Oak Hardwood flooring in the matted style of the Urban Floor Columbus collection for their condo in the Villages of Vilano in St. Augustine. This Oak wood flooring look is redefining the relaxed, beachy look with taupy gray colors.

First we cleaned and leveled the subfloor. You can see that there was a lot of leveling for this wood floor installation. Leveling the subfloor is important to protect the wood flooring from flexing damage after installation.
