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.

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.
