Northern Hard Wood Floors

JACKPOT.

There’s a moment I get to witness every now and then—and it never gets old.

A homeowner pulls back old, worn-out carpet… not expecting much… and then suddenly, there it is.
Real hardwood. Hidden for years. Waiting to breathe again.

You can see the excitement right away. Because there’s something different about real wood—it’s warm, it’s natural, and it has a story. It connects a home to something authentic that you just can’t replicate with anything else.

And the best part? Most people have no idea it’s been there the whole time.

If you’ve ever wondered what might be hiding under your floors, I’d be happy to help you find out.
Send me a message or give me a call—your own “jackpot” moment might be closer than you think.”

This one’s for all you who appreciate a building with a history this floor needed a lot of love. It has many stains many scars and many bruises. It tells a story. Refinishing a floor isn’t erasing the past it’s highlighting the present 🫶

A nice little patch project in this living room, where originally carpet was installed and top it off with sand and refinish with a grey stain. I liked this one more than I thought I would.😁🙌

I rarely stain maple, but when I do, the results are dramatic

Throwback Thursday: The perfect Texan wood flooring pic doesn't exi—oh, here it is. This 1890 gem taken at the "Dick C***s House" in Austin, Texas, was discovered by Central South Carpenters Regional Council Rep Sean Forkner while going through old boxes at the Carpenters Union Hall in Austin. Comments written on the back of the photograph shed insight on the trade's history: "The first 8-hour job in Austin. Carpenter work was daywork $2.50 to $3.00 per day for 8 hours work, which was the prevailing wage for union men on all 10-hour jobs at the time." The semi-annoyed facial expressions of the floor planers in the photo, which boasts a composition to rival Gustave Caillebotte's famed "The Floor Planers," seem to shed even more insight for onlookers, namely: "Quit gawking and let us get back to work."

BIG IMPACT!!! What a Floor, I had the privilege of sanding and refinishing this incredible Australian cypress hardwood floor, and finish it with a clear, penetrating oil that enhances the natural look and feel of the wood. Truly a stunning floor. 🙌🙌
