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!

Sand, White Wash and Finish Maple Flooring and Staircase – Marsh Landing Country Club

/in , /by

White washed look Maple flooringA couple moving to our First Coast from Chicago called Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 for a Free consultation and estimate. The couple had purchased a beautiful home in the Marsh Landing Country Club community. They wanted their solid Maple and engineered Maple (by Mirage) floors sanded and finished, and we got this flooring project!

Our clients also wanted a white wash look for these Maple floors. Maple is a lighter color specie, however the existing maple was super yellowed. This yellowing happens naturally, because Maple has the tendency to yellow with age. Fortunately, as soon as you put the sander on it and start sanding this wood flooring, it goes back to a super light color!

You can see the color difference in these 3 pieces of Maple natural flooring.

We really like our clients’ concept for these Maple floors. There is a beautiful look to Maple with the white washed look!

Our crew sanded and hand scraped the edges of the Maple flooring.

Our clients also wanted their staircase to have this white washed look. So we sanded and hand scraped the edges of the 25 stairs and risers, and the handrail.

We applied Bona NordicSeal to give the Maple floors and stairway the white washed look. Then we buffed down those first two coats. Our crew finished the Maple floor with two coats of Pallmann Power Ultra Matte. The stair rail was Brazilian Cherry wood, and we coated with the white washing agent many times (five coats) to get it light and non reddish!

The clients were astounded with the transformation of their floors and stairway! And Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!

Sand and Finish Red Oak Wood Flooring – Ponte Vedra Beach

/in /by

The new buyers of a home in Ponte Vedra Beach called Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 to for a free consultation.

Someone had previously applied stain over the top of the engineered, rotary peeled  Red Oak wood flooring in the home. The new owners thought the flooring looked really hideous, and they called Dan the Floor Man to come rescue them. After our consultation, the owners contracted our Store to sand, stain, and refinish their engineered Red Oak wood flooring.

Here are some photos of the existing Red Oak flooring:

Our crew started by sanding the engineered Red Oak wood flooring down to bare wood (as can be seen in the following photos).

Then we applied Bona Graphite stain. The transformation was beautiful!

After the stain was applied our crew applied three coats of Pallmann power ultra matte waterborne finish. This sand, stain, and finish job turned out exquisite!

Our clients were thrilled with the look of the refinished engineered, rotary peeled Red Oak wood flooring in their new home, and Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!

Sand and Finish Solid Red Oak Flooring in St. Augustine, FL

/in /by

Dan’s Floor Store usually installs then sands and finishes wood flooring. The wood flooring may have been purchased through our Store, from one of our many vendors, or may be provided by the clients. We also sand and finish wood floors that have been installed by other contractors. And, staining the floors for a different look may be part of the process, depending on our clients’ preference.

This project took place in what we believe to be the prettiest street in St. Augustine, and in one of the coolest homes on that street.

On this project, another contractor had installed 940 square feet of solid Red Oak wood flooring, which had been provided by the homeowner.

We sanded the solid Red Oak wood flooring to prepare it for finishing. The homeowner liked the natural look of the wood, so we did not apply any stain.

Our crew applied a coat of Bona oil-modified sealer.

Before we can apply the finish to these wood floors, cabinets have to be installed and several more phases of this home improvement project need to be completed. Then our crew will come back and apply two final coats of Bona oil-modified polyurethane satin finish.

When we come back to this project, we will get some photos of the finished solid Red Oak wood flooring and update this article.

Our goal is having clients who are very happy with the flooring and tile work we perform for them.

Character Grade White Oak Flooring – Install, Sand and Finish – Crescent Beach

/in , /by

Stained and finished character grade White Oak flooringOne home improvement that can increase the value of your home or business is replacing the carpeting that was originally installed with wood flooring. Replacing original carpeting with wood floors can also help reduce the allergic symptoms of those who live or work in the building.

And if your home or business already has wood flooring, refinishing an older, worn wood floor can increase its selling price by improving the appearance of your property.

Dan’s Floor Store both installs wood floors and refinishes wood floors (and we do some nice tile work, too).

This job was a 2600 square foot install, sand and finish character grade White Oak flooring project for our Dan’s Floor Store crew. This project home was in Crescent Beach, Florida. Also we installed thirty-two, 54″ wide White Oak stair treads and stained them to match.

The species used in this project was a character grade White Oak flooring, 7 1/2″ x 9/16″.

This home is on the ocean. While working this flooring project, we also enjoyed the beautiful views of the beckoning Atlantic.

We cut the stairs in with a stair jig, which is shown in one of the following photos. Also we sanded and stained the treads to match the White Oak stair railing.

The color we used for the stain was Golden Brown DuraSeal mixed with neutral DuraSeal 50-50 mix. Then we coated the job with the Bona Mega extra mat waterborne polyurethane for the first two coats and finished the final coat with a topcoat of Bona Traffic HD extra matte.

And the homeowners agreed, this turned out to be a beautiful wood floor and stairway project.

New wood floors (whether solid wood, engineered wood, or laminate), or refinishing the wood flooring in your home or business office will improve it’s looks and value. Give Dan’s Floor Store a call 904.887.8303 to make an appointment for a free consultation and estimate.

If your next improvement project involves tile or stone work, don’t forget that we professionally install those materials too.
