/in , , /by

New homeowners in the older side of Sawgrass Country Club were referred to Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 by one of the Best realtors/real estate brokers in Ponte Vedra Beach!

Our clients were moving back to Ponte Vedra Beach from Atlanta and needed this large scale flooring and stair job done in their new home, before they were due to move in!

For this residential project, our crew:

  • installed 4 new rooms of 4″ wide solid Red Oak select grade wood flooring by Oak Crest (these were all bedrooms),
  • sanded, hand scraped the edges, and stained 2,400 square feet of Oak wood flooring, and 50 Oak stair treads and handrails in several areas of the home.

Sanded and scraped Oak wood flooring, stair treads and handrails.

Then we “popped” (opened up) the wood grain with water, for a deeper, bolder stain. Next our crew applied Bona Antique Brown stain .
We finished these Oak floors, stair treads and handrails with durable Pallmann Clear sealer and Pallmann Gold finish.

This Oak flooring, stair tread and handrail project was finished in plenty of time for our clients to move into their new home!

Our customers told us we did a great, beautiful job their Oak floors and stairway! Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients.

Quarter Sawn Solid White Oak Flooring – Install and Weave In – St. Augustine

/in , , /by

Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 enjoys working on flooring improvement projects in homes and businesses in the Northeastern Florida area. We install new wood floors (engineered wood, laminate, or solid wood), as well as vinyl and luxury vinyl plank floors, refinish wooden staircases, and repair and refinish existing wood flooring for residential and commercial clients. These projects improve the looks of the floor and value of our clients’ property.

View of extension on back / river side of project home.Homeowners on CR 13 in St. Augustine contracted Dan’s Floor Store to help with their flooring, as part of their home improvement project.

They were adding an extension on the rear of their riverfront home, and wanted to extend the quarter sawn solid White Oak flooring inside.

There was no leveling required for this job, because the wood flooring was installed directly to the subfloor. It was a nailed down installation. (We used our Woodwise White Oak test kit to verify the existing wood flooring was white oak.) Our crew started work by cutting weave in pattern into the ends of the existing White Oak flooring planks. This will create a continuous look to the pattern of the wood flooring.

After removing the cut out wood, we began weaving in the White Oak flooring planks. and installing the unfinished, solid White Oak quarter sawn select flooring by Oak Crest Lumber.

Our floor sander vacuum filled up 7 bags with sawdust while rough sanding the new quarter sawn White Oak flooring, and the finish from the old White Oak plank floor.

Our crew finished the quarter sawn White Oak flooring with three coats of tough and durable Bona Woodline satin polyurethane.

These clients told us that we had achieved just the look they wanted for their home renovations, with the new and refinished White Oak flooring. And Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!

Weave-in Repair Install Refinish Red Oak Flooring – St. Augustine

/in , , /by

Completing plywood underlaymentThis job took place in Moultrie Foreside, a community near the water off of US1 on Moultrie Creek in south St. Augustine.

Dan’s Floor Store was contracted to help with a home improvement project involving solid wood flooring with plywood subfloor underneath it.

The home had already existing Red Oak select grade flooring, all running on a diagonal in the upper level. Our clients were re-doing their whole kitchen and connecting on in the lower living room but we are knocking out an old existing bedroom to enlarge the open space.

We put down our vapor membrane when installing the plywood base for the new Red Oak flooring, using our Hilti DX2 nail guns.

Next our crew installed the solid Red Oak select grade wood flooring.

Adding Red Oak to finish the transition and steps between upper and lower floors.

There was a massive amount of weave-in repair work in the wood flooring for this job, as evidenced in the photos. Also the floor running on a diagonal had to come around and meet up. There was a room with a fireplace where we did a weave-in repair, as well as repairing some old pet damage to the wood flooring in the center of the living room. The lower floor had 3 inch wide Red Oak select flooring. The upper floor was 2 1/4 inch wide Red Oak select. Both sizes of Red Oak select wood flooring were provided by Oak Crest Lumber.

Our Dan’s Floor Store wood flooring work is done in compliance with National Wood Flooring Association standards, in order to provide beautiful results and long lasting wood floors for our customers. As one example of NWFA practices, when installing solid wood flooring like this one, it’s important to leave room for the wood to expand and contract. That’s why we install expansion joints (which you can see in some of the photos), using nickels between the boards every 10 feet.

We needed to give the new solid Red Oak wood floors time to acclimate before sanding and finishing them, and sanding and refinishing the repaired Red Oak floors. We will give the new wood floors about month to acclimate, and then return and finish this project.

Dan’s Floor Store repairs and refinishes existing wood flooring and installs new wood floors (solid wood, engineered wood, or laminate) for residential and commercial clients, to improve the looks of the floor and value of the property.

Installing Solid Red Oak Wood Flooring – Avondale

/in , /by

Rift and quarter sawn Red Oak wood flooring installation - Avondale Clients wanted to improve the appearance and the value of their home with wood flooring. They picked rift and quarter sawn unfinished Red Oak wood flooring in 2 1/4 wide planks by Oak Crest Lumber.

In order to provide a good base for the new Red Oak wood flooring in this home, and as shared in an earlier article, we previously installed plywood subfloor in the kitchen and several other areas of their home.

The new rift and quarter sawn unfinished Red Oak wood flooring was installed in the kitchen (which was formerly tile) and in several bedrooms, and closets. This Red Oak flooring installation included over 12 different weave-in sections to allow the new wood flooring to run apparently seamlessly from one room to the next.

Our Dan’s Floor Store wood flooring work complies with NWFA standards to provide beautiful results and long lasting wood floors for our customers. As an example, when installing solid wood flooring like this one, it’s important to leave room for the wood to expand and contract. That’s why we install expansion joints (which you can see in some of the photos), using nickels between the boards every 10 feet.

Once the new Red Oak wood flooring has properly acclimated, we will sand all of the wood flooring in the home, and then refinish those floors. The sand and finish portion of this project will be shared in a future article on our Dan’s Floor Store website.

The client’s home has a nice view of the St. Johns River at sunset from the back yard of their home.
