Dircks Woodworking

Have you seen hardwood floors cupped? This particular house had it from the front door to the back patio door. This flooring was about 30 years old. Somewhere along the way there was a water leak which caused the floors to cup.  We got the sanding done in about a day and a half. Then we put 3 coats of clear professional urathane down. Made the floors look new again. 

With this staircase, we had previously taken down the the newel post because we had refinished the floors a few weeks ago.  We tore out the carpet and installed new treads and risers. We also tore down the rest of the balustrade and installed a custom made balustrade. It was so nice to update the house to a more modern look. 😊

There were two doorways that the homeowner had made wider to put in double doors. In doing so, some of the floor needed new wood installed. We came and did that. We then stained and finished the new boards espresso color with oil base professional urethane. 

This was a pre-finished floor that we did not know what the wood was. Was it bamboo? It was soft, lots of scratch marks. We figured it was a tropical wood.  Foyer Powder room  Breakfast nook Kitchen We started sanding and saw how quickly the finish was coming up. The more we sanded we recognized that it was rubber wood. When we finish chairs and tables that is where we see this wood.  This was the first rubber wood floor we have refinished  The homeowner wanted to change the color to Jacobean, a nice dark brown color.
