Wood floor refinishing: Refinishing involves sanding with three different grits of sandpaper then a circular buffing to ensure a smooth surface. Followed by an application of three coats of oil based polyurethane (applied by brush) or stain color to darken the floor and two coats of polyurethane. Wood floor installation: Installation of new wood floors are completed on a prepared sub floor. Woods can come in many different species and widths. Custom borders and inlays can be used to accent rooms. Waxing: Waxing is an old method used to revitalize old wood floors that have been waxed previously.

	Discing and Re-Coating: Discing and recoating is used for revitalizing floors with the application of an additional coat of polyurethane. Working with Hardwoods: We offer many different species of woods for our customers. The most commonly used hard woods are white oak, red oak, and maple. Other woods include ash, American Cherry, Brazilian Cherry, Santos Mahogany, walnut, wenge, bubinga, purple heart blood wood, and bamboo. Some of the latter woods are used as features or combined for medallions and inlays. Working with Softwoods: In recreating the woods used in the 1700’s and 1800’s most of the pines come from local areas, eastern pine, pumpkin pine, white pine and southern yellow pine. These woods have a much softer grain than the hard woods and are more susceptible to denting, scratching etc., which give this type of floor it’s patina and antique look. Laminate Flooring? Laminate flooring can be a cheaper alternative but lacks in esthetics and longevity. It can also cause health problems. These are some of the reasons why we don’t choose to install or service laminate flooring. Read here to find out more about laminate vs. wood flooring.
