Examples of our Work

Century Home – Sand & Finish

The 18th century home has an approx. 1000 sq ft dining and living room with 2” X ¾ quarter sawn oak flooring. The original flooring was dark, almost hiding the grain.

The floor sanded up quite beautifully with the medullary rays showing quite prominently demonstrating that this was an exclusive floor to originally install.

The customer wanted to use a dark stain so Dura Coat Dark Walnut was used with Bona Woodline oil based topcoat.

Convent/Nursing Home

This facility required a sand and finish for their Bowling Alley, the Piano Room and the Sanctuary Hallway.

The flooring in the bowling alley was maple and had a combination of surface scratching and in one place near the sink a bit of cupping. This cleaned up well and Bona Woodline was used as a finish.

The Piano room had several deep stains in the floor – it appears from overflowing flower pots. The customer only wanted to have 6 feet out from the walls sanded and refinished due to a large rug covering the rest of this 600 square foot room. The stains were sanded out and Bona Woodline was used as topcoat in this room.

Modern Recoat

This modern home had 3 ¼” engineered oak flooring that was quite scratched up and worn in places. The staircase also required sanding and recoating.

Custom Design and Installation

The frolicking otters are the subject of Otter Delight.

The floor is constructed of oak and birch laminate. The herringbone pattern means to represent waves on the water and the grain in the birch, although subtle, represents the currents in the water the otters play in.

There are over 200 herringbone pieces in the floor all handmade and 10 panels of otters.
