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.

Refinishing Solid White Oak Floors and Stairway – Atlantic Beach

/in , /by

This Atlantic Beach homeowner wanted a beachy look to brighten this home, and contracted Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 to refinish and whiten his White Oak floors and stairway.

We began by sanding and hand scraping the edges of 2,600 square feet of solid White Oak hardwood flooring. The floors are a mixture of number one common and number two common. (Number 2 common has more color variations and knotting than number 1 White Oak hardwood flooring.) Our crew also sanded and hand scraped the 18 Oak stair treads in the home, to refinish them.

Our customer selected Bona White stain for his floors and stairway. We stained the White Oak floors and stairs after “popping” the wood grain with water to open them up for a deeper stain results.

Our crew began finishing these White Oak floors and stairs with two coats of Pallmann White Seal.

Then we applied a final coat of Pallmann Pure, to achieve the very low sheen floors and stairs that our client wanted.

Our client was thrilled to see how our crew had achieved the beachy look they wanted for their solid White Oak hardwood floors and stairs. Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!

Sand, Paint, Finish Wooden Floors – South St. Augustine Beach

/in , /by

Some of the flooring improvement jobs Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 accomplishes in local homes and businesses are part of larger scale renovation projects, working with local contractors.

This remodeling project took place in a home on Atlantic View in South St. Augustine Beach, Florida. The builder envisioned extending the wood flooring with our crew doing a lot of weave-in work, to create a continuous, solid wood floor. And then paint the wooden floors white.

After doing the weave-in wood flooring extension, we sanded the wood floors and hand scraped the edges.

As part of this job, our crew milled our own transition strips out of the solid wood.

After sanding these floors, we applied two coats of Benjamin Moore white paint designed for floors.

The next day, we applied the applied two coats of Pallmann waterborne polyurethane products – Pall-X Clear Sealer – and then Pall-X Power Finish. Then our crew buffed down these first two coats of polyurethane finish, and finished this job with a final coat of Pallmann Gold. Pallmann Gold is a non-ambering, clear, 2 part waterborne polyurethane finish.

We also sanded, painted, and finished the stairway in this home to match the wood floors (but missed getting photos).

The contractor and his clients told us the look that we achieved with these white painted wooden floors and stairway was just what they wanted! And Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy customers!

Sand, Stain, Finish Red Oak Flooring in Matanzas Inlet

/in , , , /by

Homeowners in the Matanzas Inlet, Florida neighborhood contracted Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 to stain and refinish their Red Oak floors. They also wanted us to stain and refinish their stairway treads to match the new look of their floors.

Here are some photos of the way their Red Oak floors looked before we started.

Our crew started this project by sanding 1,500 square feet of Red Oak flooring to remove the old finish. We used our big Lagler-Hummel belt sander. for the main areas. Then our crew used edge sanders and hand scraped the edges of the wood flooring.

To get better visual results with the wood stain, we “popped” the grain of the wood flooring with a little water. Popping raises the grain of the wood to allow the stain to penetrate deeper in the wood than the stain would, if applied straight out of the can.

In order to get the look our clients wanted, our crew mixed three parts Provincial to one part Neutral/Natural Bona wood stains.

To finish this Red Oak flooring, we applied the applied two coats of durable Pallmann products – Pall-X Clear Sealer and then Pall-X Power Finish. Then we buffed down these first two coats of polyurethane finish, and finished this job with a final coat of Pallmann Gold. The Pallmann Gold top coat is a non-ambering, clear, 2 part waterborne polyurethane finish.

We followed the same sequence – sanding, staining, and refinishing – on the stair treads. We achieved a nice matching look with the wood.

Our clients were very pleased with the outcome of this wood flooring and staircase stain and refinish project. And Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!

Southern Yellow Pine Stain and Refinish with Stair Treads – St. Augustine

/in , /by

Owners of a riverfront home in St. Augustine called Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 for a free consultation and estimate on a home flooring improvement project. They wanted to stain and refinish their Southern Yellow Pine flooring. The homeowners also wanted their White Oak stair treads refinished, using the same stain.

After the meeting, we got the job!

Our crew began work on this project by sanding and hand scraping the edges of the Southern Yellow Pine plank floors, and sanding the White Oak stair treads.

We “popped” the wood grain on the floor and stairs with water. This opens the wood grain up for a more even, darker and deeper stain effect.

To get the look the homeowners wanted for their wood flooring and stair treads, we used quality Bona Antique Brown stain for both.

Our crew finished the Southern Yellow Pine plank floors and White Oak stair treads with durable Pallmann products – first, one coat of Pallmann sealer. And then we applied two coats of durable Pallmann Power satin finish.

Our clients were delighted to see their refinished Southern Yellow Pine wood floors, and White Oak stairs. And Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!

/in /by

Matthew's Restaurant of San Marco, in Jacksonville, FloridaMatthew’s Restaurant in San Marco, in Jacksonville, has been recognized as one of Northeast Florida’s most distinctive restaurants since its opening in 1997.

Chef Matthew of Matthew’s Restaurant, and Dan DiCarlo, owner of Dan’s Floor Store 904.887.8303 have been friends for over 25 years.

The Restaurant was being closed for a week for renovations under a tight timeline, and Chef Matthew called Dan to refinish (sand, stain, and finish) the bar area Oak wood flooring.

Our crew started work at 5AM, sanding the bar floor with rough paper. Then we sanded the Oak floor with fine paper, hand scraped the corners and palm sanded all the ends to eliminate any sanding marks. Next our crew buffed the job smooth.

To achieve a deep stain, we “popped” the wood flooring grain with water applied with damp cloths.

We applied Bona Ebony stain. Our crew applied durable Pallmann products – one coat of Pallmann clear, followed by one coat of Pallmann Power ultra matte finish.

Two days later, after the bar area had been painted, we buffed down the job and put a final coat of Pallmann 98 ultra matte.

Matthew and his staff were thoroughly pleased with our performance and the beautiful wooden bar floor job we left! And Dan’s Floor Store always likes to have happy clients!
