Repair and Refinish Heart Pine Flooring – Black Hammock Island

/in , , /by

Repeat customers called Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 to repair and refinish the old Heart Pine flooring in a farmhouse on Black Hammock Island, on the Northside of Jacksonville, Florida.

We have been working with these homeowners for quite some time at another of their properties. They sold that property and moved onto a farmhouse on Black Hammock Island. Their new property includes plenty of land for their chickens, mules, horses, and other animals. This property offers a scenic location; situated along side of and overlooking the Amelia River.

Homesite property.

The farmhouse was built with logs harvested from the property. And the flooring in the home was milled from some of those Heart Pine trees, too. Flooring in the photos is New Growth Heart Pine. Our crew had to replace several Heart Pine planks in the floor that had been damaged. We had some New Growth Heart Pine flooring that was congruent to the existing Pine flooring. Our team changed out the damaged boards and then sanded down the floor with our Lagler-Hummel belt sander, and hand scraped the edges.

Sanding and Hand Scraping the floors.

Next we applied a Bona oil modified sealer as the first coat, to keep as close as we could to the previous look. (Sanding did remove some ambering and patina of the old Heart Pine flooring, so the new finish would result in a slightly lighter look.) After buffing down the first coat of oil modified Sealer, we then applied two coats of Pallmann Gold satin for a hardener filled topcoat.

Applying new Finish.

The Heart Pine floors in this farmhouse get a lot of wear. Dan’s Floor Store has these farmhouse homeowners on a flooring maintenance schedule. We will be back to refresh these floors within three years. It’s important to refinish this species of flooring every 3 to 5 years. This regular maintenance routine prevents dirt from getting ground into the soft grain of the wood.

Unfortunately, our Dan’s Floor Store crew didn’t get photos of the fully refinished floors. But, you can get an idea from the finishing photos, and, needless to say, our customers were thrilled with the outcome! Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!

Finished Heart Pine flooring project.

Heart Pine Flooring in Marsh Landing

/in , , /by

Homeowners in the Marsh Landing community in Ponte Vedra, Florida contracted Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 to sand and refinish the Heart Pine flooring in their home, while they would be away on a Spring Break voyage. Since this couple liked the Heart Pine floors in some areas of their home, they asked Dan to also install beautiful New Growth Heart Pine flooring which they had obtained (for a harmonious match and continuation) in some other areas in their home, too. (They chose their an upstairs long hallway, their Master bedroom, and a closet for this flooring improvement project.)

View Outdoors.

After moving the furniture and removing the old flooring, we leveled the plywood sheet subfloor upstairs, by sanding the edges of the sheets. We also got some major squeaks out of the upstairs subfloor by installing some 3″ long screws. Then our crew installed their new growth Heart Pine flooring.
We repaired a board downstairs due to beetle damage, then sanded the upstairs and downstairs Heart Pine flooring.
Then our crew finished the Heart Pine with a beautiful, clear matte finish by Pallmann, to match the look the original flooring had prior to starting this job. (Our crew applied one coat of Pallman clear coat, followed by 2 coats of durable Pallmann Gold matte finish.)

White Oak flooring with Walnut strip trim, after refinishing.

Sand and Finish Old Wood Floors in Ponte Vedra, Florida

/in , /by

Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 was selected to refinish the old wooden floors in a home on Roscoe Boulevard in Ponte Vedra Beach.

Some of the wood floors in this project home were of White Oak with Walnut borders. Some of the floors were of Heart Pine.

This historic home was moved from the Riverside neighborhood to Roscoe Boulevard in Ponte Vedra, part of the way via a barge on the water (the St. Johns River and the Intracoastal Waterway).

A picture taken of the home, floating on the barge as it was being moved was displayed in one of the rooms in which we refinished the wood flooring.

After sanding the floors, and hand scraping the edges of all the sanded wood surfaces, our crew applied durable Pallmann Finish.

Our clients told us they loved how nice their refinished old wooden floors looked. Dan’s Floor Store likes to have happy clients!

/in , , /by

Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8383 enjoys refinishing old wood floors and stairways to their earlier elegance. We are proud that our work is helping to preserve our Country’s architectural history.

In this old home, located in the Riverside neighborhood of Jacksonville, Florida, the whole upstairs flooring was Heart Pine. The downstairs and stairs were made of White Oak.

From these Before photos, you can see how the floors and stairs in this project home were ready for us to refinish them.

Our crew sanded the old upstairs and downstairs wood floors, and the wooden stair treads. Next we hand scraped the edges of each sanded area of flooring and stair tread, to ready them for finish application.

Our Team applied durable Pallmann finish to the old Heart Pine and White Oak flooring, and the White Oak stairway.

Our client told us that he was impressed with how nice these old Heart Pine floors and White Oak floors and stairway looked after our crew refinished them! Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!

Old Heart Pine floors, refinished by Dan's Floor Store.

Refinish Old Heart Pine Floors – Downtown Jacksonville FL

/in , /by

This Heart Pine wood floor refinishing project took Dan and his Dan’s Floor Store crew to an older home in downtown Jacksonville, Florida.

The flooring in the home was circa 1900 Heart Pine, and the old home was adorned with interesting historic photos of Jacksonville and surrounding areas.

The finish on these old wooden floors in the project home was worn with years of use, but did not need repairs (such as weaving in replacement Heart Pine planks).

We began by sanding the floors, and then hand scraping the edges of the wood flooring.

Our team finished these floors with a durable Pallmann finish.

The before and after photos show that these Heart Pine plank floors turned out beautifully for the age of the floors. Our clients were very pleased with their refinished old Heart Pine wood floors! Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!

This job took place in a home in the historic Lincolnville neighborhood of St. Augustine, Florida. Our clients contracted Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303, wanting their Heart Pine wood floors refinished with a cool, whitewashed look.

We began this flooring improvement project by sanding and hand scraping the edges of the Heart Pine wood floors. This step removes the old finish and prepares the wood floors for the whitening sealer.

Our crew applied durable Pallmann products. We started with Pallmann Pall-X Whiteseal to achieve the whitewashed look our clients wanted.

Our crew applied two coats of Pallmann Pall-X Power. When that finish had fully cured, we buffed the wood floors down, and applied a final coat – Pallmann Pall-X Gold Ultra Matte.

Our clients told us they were thrilled with the new, cool look for their Heart Pine floors! Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients.

Sand and Finish Heart Pine flooring in Historic St. Augustine

/in , /by

Owner of a home on the harbor in St. Augustine, Florida, contracted Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 to sand and finish their old, solid Heart Pine flooring. This is the 5th home on Avenida Menendez, in the historic area of St. Augustine, in which we have sanded and refinished their wooden floors.

Heart Pine is the heartwood of the long leaf pine tree. The wood is very hard and strong, with beautiful coloring and figure patterns.

Our crew began by sanding the old Heart Pine flooring, and hand scraping their edges. During breaks, we would enjoy the view of the Harbor.

Easier to see the beauty in this Heart Pine flooring after sanding.

Next, we applied durable Pallmann products – Pallmann Clear Sealer for the first coat.

Then our crew added a coat of durable Pallmann Pall-X Power Ultra Matte.

After these two coats had fully cured, we buffed the wood floors down, and applied a final coat – Pallmann Pall-X Gold Ultra Matte.

Our client was super pleased with the look of his freshly refinished Heart Pine wood floors. And Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!

Heart Pine Plank Flooring – Sand and Finish – Springfield

/in , /by

Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 does flooring projects for residential and commercial clients, and for local building and renovation contractors. This is about the 10th job we have done for this client. It’s always nice when a prior client appreciates your work, and calls you with a new job!

This flooring project took place in downtown Jacksonville, Florida, in the historic Springfield neighborhood.

The home was built in the 1930s, and has existing Heart Pine plank flooring. Our client contracted us to sand and finish these old wooden floors.

Pre-Refinishing.

Our crew sanded the Heart Pine plank flooring, and hand scraped the edges.

Sanding.

Next we applied 1 coat of Bona dri-fast Sealer.

And then we finished these old Heart Pine floors with 2 coats of Bona Woodline satin oil-modified polyurethane.

Between application of the Bona finish coats, we screened these Heart Pine floors for proper bonding and to give the smoothest possible results.

When we screen 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.

Refinishing.

After seeing their refinished Heart Pine plank flooring, our customer was very happy! And Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!
