Finished White Oak hardwood flooring.

Install, Sand, Finish – White Oak Flooring – Sawgrass TPC

/in , /by

Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 was contracted for a wood flooring job in TPC Sawgrass, right on the Dye’s Valley Course!

Our client was a new homeowner and he was moving here from Boston, Massachusetts with his family. They needed to get this job done under a strict time frame; finished right before Thanksgiving!

Dan did the on-site inspection of the wood flooring project site, and measured the designated project flooring areas. The project was to refinish the existing wood flooring, and replace existing carpet with matching wood flooring in the carpeted sunken living room and a master bedroom. He determined the existing wood flooring in the home (to be matched) was solid White Oak, in 2 1/4 inch wide planks.

Our crew removed all of the old carpeting and leveled the concrete subfloor. A good wood flooring installation requires a leveled subfloor. Leveling included around the two fireplaces; one in the master and one in the sunken in living room. The area in the sunken living room required extensive leveling to arrive to the same height as the fireplace hearths.

As we started the wood flooring installation, our crew picture framed header boards around the fireplaces, completely flush to the marble. Our crew used an unfinished engineered wood product that is made in America by Maxwell; in 2 1/4 inch wide White Oak engineered hardwood flooring, using Bostiks Greenforce adhesive.

Meanwhile, the existing White Oak flooring was being sanded with our sanding equipment by Dan and his crew.

We used Pallman Nature Seal, and Pallman Pure to finish this flooring job.

Needless to say, Dan and his Dan’s Floor Store crew met the timeline to allow our customers to move in right before Thanksgiving and enjoy their Thanksgiving in their new home, with our new Floors.

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!

Removal – Install, Sand, Stain, and Finish Red Oak Flooring – Jacksonville, FL

/in , /by

Westside Jacksonville homeowners contracted Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 to remove tile and carpeting from their home, and install Red Oak flooring.

To get the Red Oak flooring with the look our clients wanted, we recommended 5″ wide, unfinished engineered Red Oak by Maxwell, that we would custom stain to their preference. This wood flooring is made in the USA, and has a 4mm sawn face.

First our crew removed the old tile and carpeting.

The concrete slab subfloor of the home required us to do an immense amount of leveling. A wood flooring installation requires a flat surface.

We began installing the Red Oak flooring by putting a header board at the master bedroom, where some 5″ wide flooring had previously been installed. Our crew lined the new Red Oak boards up with the existing ones, for visual continuity and harmony. We installed, then sanded all of the new wood flooring. 

Next, our crew stained the new Red Oak boards with a custom blend of 3 quality Bona stains – 2 parts Cocoa ,2 parts Antique Brown, and 1 part Golden Oak. For finishing, we applied 3 coats of durable Pallmann finish – 1 coat of clear sealer, and 2 coats of semi gloss Power.

Needless to say, our clients were thrilled with the outcome of this floor job. And Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!

Install, Screen and Coat Red Oak Flooring – Hampton Glen

/in , /by

Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 got a call from homeowners in Hampton Glen, a subdivision next to Deerwood (off Baymeadows Road in Jacksonville). These prior clients wanted us to install some Red Oak flooring in their master bedroom, and screen and coat the Red Oak flooring we had previously sanded and finished for them.

Our crew removed 250 square feet of existing carpeting, then leveled the concrete slab floor using Bostik SL-150 Self Leveling underlayment. And then we installed the 2 1/4″ wide unfinished, plain sawn / slice cut, engineered Red Oak flooring by Maxwell (Townsend Additions line) using Bostik Pro Cure adhesive.

Our crew sanded the new Red Oak flooring, then finished it with durable Pallmann products one coat of Pallmann Pall-X Color, color sealer. We followed up with 2 coats of Pallmann Pall-X Power finish water borne polyurethane, in ultra matte.

Screen and Coat is a good maintenance procedure to protect your wood floors. When we “screen and coat” wood flooring, we use a buffer and a mesh screen covered with an abrasive, instead of regular sand paper discs. Screening provides lighter abrasion to the floor finish, providing a good roughness that helps the new finish coat of polyurethane adhere properly. We recommend screening and coating wood floors that get normal use on a 5 year cycle, to restore the finish and protect the wood flooring. We screened and coated 1,200 square feet of the plain sawn / slice cut Red Oak flooring with Walnut inlays in this home. Our crew applied water based polyurethane finish; Pallmann‘s Pall-X Power finish water borne polyurethane.

Our customers loved the job we did on their Red Oak floors, and even wrote us a very nice Review. And Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!
