This weeks project - sanded this factory finished hickory floor! We refinished it back natural using Bona Clearseal and two topcoats of Traffic HD! Failed to take many before pictures on this one, whoops!

Looking forward to the holiday weekend off, then we're right back at it!

White oak refinished!
This old white floor had been covered with carpet for the last 30 years or so.

We cleaned it up, sanded & stained it with Duraseal Nutmeg. Lots of scraper/hand work around the railing!

I personally think scraping is the most enjoyable part of refinishing a floor. If you understand the tool - it's just simple & wildly effective. No tricks just 💪🏼💪🏼

Maple staircase installed & finished!

We retrofit this staircase setup for carpet with hardwood maple skirts, risers & treads. Everything within 3/8ths rise & run for a code correct final product.

1 coat Bona Clearseal finished with 2 coats Bona Traffic HD.

3.25" Northwoods w/o!

Fun & challenging project. Very long & visible starting run - working into 52 lineal feet total of nosing & a couple reducing transitions. The long hall running thru the whole home poses a complicated finishing scenario as well!

Stuff like this used to really intimidate me. Now it's just another day doing something I enjoy.

We finished this out with 1 coat Bona Clearseal and two coats Bona Traffic HD. Pup approved!

Beautiful, busy & just like God made it. Sounds pretty relatable, currently. This is a 2.25" 3rd grade maple floor. Material grown in the UP, milled by Robbins in Ishpeming & installed in Republic. Can't really get any more local/better than that. All floors I install and finish are a favorite, but ones like this really fit the narrative.

Finish consisting of x1 coat Bona Clearseal x2 coats Bona Traffic HD.

Quick sand, stain & refinish on this prefinished engineered red oak floor!

This one went out in Bona's Puritan Pine stain color, coated on top with Traffic HD Satin.

This variation of engineered flooring has only about 1/8th" wear surface so you must be diligent in your sanding work to not burn thru it! Taking that into account, we put 3 total coats of Traffic on this floor because this is the very likely the last time it could be sanded back to bare wood. It needs to last!

It's something to consider when considering materials for a project. This was installed over & glued to a concrete slab. So removing it is no small deal. A full 3/4" engineered product with 1/4" wear surface would still have many, many opportunities to be refinished.

Many flooring materials on the market these days aren't necessarily here for the long run. We like to think beyond that.

If there's no timeline on these smaller projects they are great to keep in the back pocket to fill a gap between larger jobs, which is what was happening in this case!

A few months ago we removed carpet and installed a hickory floor in the formal dining and living room of this home. Clients loved it so much they had us back after tearing out the entire kitchen, tile, hall & foyer so we could install to match!

This is Indiana Hardwoods 4" select or better hickory. It is undeniably gorgeous!

Proud of some of the crafted details on this & layout. The new install came in perfectly with the previous, nosing came out perfect & clean.

We recently invested in ourselves with some fresh install tools and that's paying off greatly with higher quality fits and cleanliness.

Life is good!
