Coastal Look European White Oak Wood Flooring Installation in PVB

/in /by

Dan’s Floor Store was contacted by a homeowner in Turtle Shores, in south Ponte Vedra Beach, for one of our free flooring consultations and estimates.

The carpeting on her floor was installed in the 1980s, so it was ready for replacement. Most standard, contractor grade carpeting that is installed in new construction homes is only designed to last for 3 or 4 years before it begins to deteriorate and becomes harder to clean. She also wanted the tile flooring in her foyer replaced with wood flooring. We would install the new wood flooring on 900 square foot of her home.

European White Oak wood flooring installedOur client wanted new wood flooring to give her home a beachy look. She selected 1/2″thick by 7 1/4″ wide LM flooring engineered European White Oak wood flooring from the Saint Laurent collection with the Privas finish – a whitish grayish color stain for a very coastal and beachy look.

This project began with removing the client’s furniture from the selected areas of her home.

We removed the old carpeting and tile, then we prepared and leveled the plywood subfloor.

Then we installed new coastal look European White Oak wood flooring.

The client loved the coastal look we achieved with her new European White Oak wood flooring. And we are always happy when our clients are pleased with our work.

New White Oak Flooring in Julington Creek

/in /by

Owners of a charming home in Julington Creek in Jacksonville, Florida wanted to upgrade the look and value of their home by installing new wood flooring to cover 800 square feet of the floors in their home.

Following one of our free Dan’s Floor Store consultations, the home owners chose the 8 1/2 inch wide by 5/8 inch thick wire brushed engineered White Oak flooring, with a UV oil topcoat: Vintage Loft by Real Wood Floors.

  • A UV oil finish makes for an attractive furniture-type finish. The oil actually penetrates the wood’s surface and provides rich appearance.

First we remove the old carpet and carpet padding, and clean the slab subfloor.

This photo shows some of the thorough and often extensive subfloor leveling which Dan’s Floor Store must perform as part of every single job. The wood flooring must lay perfectly flat to avoid developing problems with the new wood floor after installation.

This photo shows wood floor planks being strapped together with special flooring straps during installation, due to the width of the planks.

This photo shows wood planks being installed onto the leveled sublfoor, to which wood floor adhesive has been applied.

This new wire brushed engineered White Oak wood floor is a beautiful installation, accented with a lot of radius cuts of the wood planks in the staircase area and elsewhere.

White Oak with White Stain – Plantation Country Club

/in /by

Installed wire brushed engineered white oak floor with white stainDuring one of our Dan’s Floor Store free consultations, a couple living in the Plantation Country Club community in Ponte Vedra, Florida asked us to help give their home a more beachy style.

We suggested wire brushed 7 1/2′ wide White Oak engineered wood flooring from LW Flooring with a white stain for the 3 bedrooms they were wanting to renovate, which has been a popular look over the last few years for a “beach house look” in local Florida homes.

The couple liked the look and asked us to install the new flooring in 3 of their bedrooms, amounting to nearly 1000 square feet of White Oak engineered wood flooring to be installed and stained.

Here are some photos that show the bedrooms prior to installation of the new wood flooring.

And here is the White Oak engineered wood flooring installed. We “popped” the grain of the new wood flooring with water, to achieve better penetration of the white stain, for a better visual effect.

Home Improvements in Stages – New Engineered Wood Flooring in Mandarin

/in /by

About two years ago, we installed some new wood flooring in a home in Mandarin. Our clients enjoyed their wood floors, and this year invited us back to install engineered wood flooring in two more rooms.

New Engineered Wood Floor in kitchen, in home in Mandarin.We enjoy helping our clients achieve their home improvement goals.

Sometimes making home improvements such as adding wood flooring, or tile projects, or even refinishing an existing wood floor, in stages, over time, makes more sense for clients.

Many of our clients have been able to enjoy completing more upgrades to their homes by accomplishing them in stages, which allows them to stay within their household budgets.

This time the new engineered wood flooring installation project presented more opportunities for use of our flooring skills and experience:

  • The two rooms having new engineered wood flooring installed were not connected. There is a bathroom with a tiled floor between the two rooms getting new wood flooring.
  • The hallway between the project rooms was already finished in wood flooring.  To create a seamless look in the wood floors, we did what we refer to as a weave-in repair with the wood planks at each of the doorways.
  • Getting a level surface for installing the new wood flooring on this project was also interesting, because there were transitions from concrete subfloors to plywood subfloors in this part of the home.

The new wood flooring is Forest Accents‘ Timeless Textures line, in Maple Tawny, and it looks great in our clients’ home, and we are happy to help them reach their home improvement goals.

Had to replace tile on the face of the riser of this step, to match the adjacent wood flooring.

New Engineered Wood Flooring with Stairs

/in /by

New Santos Mahogany Engineered Wood Flooring, installed in a home in Jacksonville BeachA client in Jacksonville Beach contracted Dan’s Floor Store to replace the old, contractor grade carpeting in several rooms of their home with beautiful Santos Mahogany engineered wood flooring by Armstrong.

  • Please Note: As of 2023, hardwood flooring is no longer provided by Armstrong.

Most standard, contractor grade carpeting installed in new construction homes is only designed to last for 3 or 4 years before it begins to deteriorate and becomes harder to clean.

Also, carpeting tends to trap pollen and other allergens, and if anyone living in the home or working in the business office has allergies, this can cause problems year around.

These are reasons why Dan’s Floor Store recommends installing hard surface flooring, such as wood flooring, tile, or stone in homes and offices.

As you can see in these photos, this flooring project was a little different than most because it included installing the new wood flooring on the stair well landing and refinishing treads on the stairs to match, in this two story home.

Wood Flooring Project in Sawgrass Country Club

/in /by

After new hard surface wood flooring was installedDan’s Floor Store recently completed a multi-room engineered wood flooring installation project in a home at the Sawgrass Country Club, in Ponte Vedra, Florida.

This was one of our larger scale projects, covering approximately 1,500 ft.² in various rooms.

The project began with removal of the old, worn, contractor grade carpeting, and existing tile flooring, including removal of the baseboards in each room to receive new flooring. We often remove baseboards when replacing flooring, because it saves time for our crew, getting us out of the client’s home or office faster (and giving the client the privacy of their property, once more).

The next phase of the project was floor leveling, and this home required quite a bit. Floor leveling is very important in preparation for installation of new flooring. Unlevel floors can cause hard surface flooring to crack, reducing the life of the new flooring and requiring replacement of sections of your new flooring.

Then we installed a new engineered birch wood flooring made by Urban Floor. The client selected a pattern that is 5″ wide by 1/2″ thick, dark in color, with the descriptive name, “Birch Black Tea“, from their Welcome Home series.

The whole project took about a week, mostly because of the amount of leveling that was required.

Following the installation of the new flooring, we upgraded these rooms of the client’s home with an impressive 5 1/4″ tall baseboard, and shoe molding for a nice finishing touch in trim work.
