Dircks Woodworking

  There was an old house in a nearby town that has become a landmark.  The house was built in 1907 and remodeled in the 1920's. When we first saw the floors they were quite neglected, blackened by years of adhesives from carpets and dirt.   We started on the second floor sanding away the gunk and dirt.  The more we sanded the more the floors came to life, showing the beautiful, ornate inlays around the rooms. Here are a few photos of the work done.              Hall entrance upstairs (before)  .      (after) Upstairs bedroom floor .......After sanding and finishing Dining room (Before) Started sanding main floor Ornate inlay around the dining room.  Dining room finished Living room (before) Ornate inlay around living room.  Living room finished. The more we work...

Most floors that we refinish has that aluminum oxide finish that fades or yellows over time, expecially if the sunlight beats down on it.    With this floor the homeowner wanted it refinished to the original color. We sanded, stained it gunstock color, then three coats of professional polyurethane. Good as new!  😊
