Sand and Recoat Oak Flooring in Vilano Beach

/in , , , /by

Our clients (homeowners in Vilano Beach, Florida) contracted Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 to sand and refinish the mixed Oak flooring in their home.

These wood floors were a combination of White Oak sprinkled in with some Red Oak, and White Oak stairs with with a medallion on the landing of the stairway.

Dan recognized the flooring as reclaimed old barn wood by Carlisle, in varied widths and lengths.

– Before.

– Sanding.

We sanded the main surfaces of the floors with our big Lagler-Hummel belt sander, and hand sanded the edges.

After sanding the Oak floors, landing, and stairway, these surfaces were recoated with Waterlox Tung oil. This Tung oil comes from the Tung tree, and is the only coating we know of that is impermeable to water. It gives a natural, long-lasting finish to wood floors, and is environmentally friendly. The Tung oil coating provides an impermeable water membrane, as confirmed when all of the old pet stains were easily eradicated by our sander, due to the coating’s protection. The wood protection provided by a coating of Tung oil is quite unbelievable. In fact, Tung oil was used by ancient Native American tribes to seal their canoes and boats from water.

– Tung Oil Coated.

Our clients were thrilled with the look of their sanded and recoated Oak floors, landing, and stairway. Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy customers!

Transition at banister - woodwork.

Installing Trubalance Golden Red Oak flooring in Palencia

/in /by

When the owner of a home in the Palencia community in Ponte Vedra was ready for new wood flooring for the second floor of their home, they called Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 for a FREE Consutation.

Based on our consultation, they selected 3/4″ thick by 5″ wide Trubalance Golden Red Oak Exclusive flooring from the Admiration Collection by Mirage. Trubalance is real wood over an SPF (Spruce, Pine, and Fir) Quarter sawn core layer; “a more environmentally friendly approach”.

Our crew began by repositioning the furniture, removing the old flooring, and leveling the sheet plywood subfloor by sanding all the edges.

This job gave us a chance to practice some match staining on some nosing. We had to do some shimming at a doorway. The second floor of this home had several walls at an angle to the main area, and several curved walls. Our crew practices the “measure twice, cut once” work practice, which is helpful, more efficient, and less frustrating.

The curved walls gave us some practice doing radius and circumference cuts.

As can be seen in some of the photos, these new Trubalance Golden Red Oak flooring was taller than the existing banister woodwork. Our crew created beautiful trim to transition between the two surfaces.

This client told us that they were very pleased with the new Red Oak hardwood flooring and woodwork details in the second story of their home. And Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!

Natural Look for Red Oak Floors in St. Augustine

/in /by

Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 was contracted to sand and finish the Red Oak floors in a home in the Pelican Reef community of St. Augustine. The neighborhood is located right on the marsh, very close to the St. Augustine Amplitheater.

Our clients wanted a more natural look for their wood floors.

We began by sanding and hand scraping the edges of their Red Oak flooring to the bare wood.

To achieve a bare wood/naked wood/natural wood look for our clients, our crew first applied Pallmann Natureseal to their wood floors.

Next we applied 2 coats of Pallmann Pall-X Pure. This Pall-X Pure provides a surface that doesn’t shine or reflect highlights, with small amounts of white pigment to keep the wood species pure in appearance, without yellowing.

Needless to say, our clients told us they were thrilled with the new look of their Red Oak floors! And Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!

/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.

Sand and Finish Oak Flooring in St. Augustine Beach

/in , , /by

View out the window - St. Augustine Beach.This job took place in St. Augustine Beach. The homeowners were moving here from Pittsburgh and Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 was able to squeeze this job into our busy schedule for some new Floridians.

Their floors are number 1 Red Oak with number 2 White Oak flooring planks peppered in here and there. We have also seen this mixture of Red and White Oak planks in flooring in some other homes built in the 1950s.

Our clients wanted a bare/naked wood look for their floors. Pallmann has a product that helped us achieve that look, so our clients asked us to refinish their Oak stair treads to match their Oak floors.

Here are some photos of the Oak floors and stairway, before our crew started work.

We sanded the old, oil modified polyurethane finish off, and hand scraped the edges of the Oak floors and stair treads.

Our crew coated these Oak floors and stair treads with Pallmann Natureseal and Pallmann Pure; companion sealer and finish for giving the bare/naked wood look to the flooring. The result it the look of a freshly sanded Oak floor, but the floor has 3 coats of protection.

This Pallmann finish combination is amazing – the dry look is so clear, more dull than an ultra matte, and it is in trend with the vibe of this St. Augustine Beach house!

Refinishing Red Oak Flooring – Jacksonville, FL Northside

/in /by

Stained and finished 1 1/2" wide Red Oak flooringDan’s Floor Store was contracted to refinish existing Red Oak flooring in a home in Northside Jacksonville.

The scope of this refinishing project included sanding, staining and finishing the wood floors.

The Red Oak flooring in this home was 1 1/2″ wide strips; more rare than the 2 1/4″ wide Red Oak flooring we usually see. Dan loves the look of this narrow wood strip flooring.

First our crew thoroughly sanded the floors and hand scraped the edges.

Then we stained the wood floor with Minwax Gunstock Wood Finish stain.

Our crew finished these Red Oak floors with three coats of Pallmann Pall-X Power semi-gloss finish.

Our customers were thrilled with the outcome. And Dan’s Floor Store likes to have happy clients!

Sand, Stain, Finish Red Oak Flooring and Staircase – Fruit Cove

/in , , , , , , /by

Saws set up on the back patio.This flooring and staircase project took Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 to a home in the gated community called Bayside, in the Switzerland / Fruit Cove, Florida area.

Our clients selected unfinished, engineered, rotary peeled Red Oak flooring by Howell hardwood flooring for their home improvement project.

First our crew leveled the concrete slab subfloor, to prepare it for the new wood flooring.

Next we installed the new Red Oak flooring planks, lining them up to the existing lines of the old floor.

We sanded the Red Oak flooring and then “popped” the grain of the wood planks with water to open them up for better stain absorption.

Our crew stained the wood flooring with Bona Antique Brown stain.

Then we finished the wood flooring in this room with durable Pallmann products – one coat of Pallman Pall-X Clear sealer , then a coat of Pallmann Pall-X Power ultra matte finish. We buffed down the floor and applied a final coat of Pallmann Pall-X Power ultra matte finish. Our crew finished this room first, so that the grand piano could be moved into the room, and we could do the rest of the job.

We refinished the adjacent Red Oak floors in the home to match the new Red Oak flooring. This part of the job included weave-in repair of 10 damaged flooring planks.

Our crew also sanded and stained the stair treads to match, as well as the stair rail.

Our clients said they were impressed with our work and how nice the wood floors and staircases looked. 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!

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!
