Stevens job Holliston, Ma 01746
Installation 2 1/4" quarted white oak hardwood flooring, refinish 2 1/4" white oak hardwood flooring Holliston, MA 01746

The Stevens house is a very old house in down town Holliston. The floors Joe and I ripped out, 2" wide by 3/8" thick were installed commonly around 1900 to 1940, were beyond refinishing. The person who put the floor in was a master at his craft because he leveled the entire floor tying it into the dining room. You can see in the pictures the amount of work he had to do to get the floors level. We had to do some leveling ourselves in one corner. It dropped almost 6" from the dining room door to the bathroom doorway. I brought in Brian Rook from BMR remodeling (508-328-7625) to look at it. Her did a great job bringing up the corner so the floors would be even through out the room. He's a great guy and an excellent remodeling contractor. We installed new 2 1/4" select white qrt'd oak to match the old flooring that was there. It was a very hard job indeed. The floors in the family room were solid 2 1/4" white oak but had a lot of water damage but with some extra sanding and small repairs we brought them right back. The floors were finished with three coats of oil base polyurethane with a semi gloss for the last coat.

Long Leaf Heart Pine flooring and oak hardwood flooring, Install patch and repair and refinish
Dave Hall Construction Natick, MA Part 1

This job came in last year, 2011, just before Christmas. For Joe and I it could not have come at a better time financially, thank you Dave and Steven. I’ve been blessed to work for Dave, now he and his son Steven, for 32 years. I don’t know how many tradesmen can say that these days. The 1st time I remember working with Dave and is father was around 1980. His father is now passed on. Dave is one of the best remodeling contractors in Natick, hands down, one of the best. Dave and Steven together make a great team – the old and the new. This house they were remodeling was built around 1920 and had not seen any upgrades at all. They reconfigured the 1st floor for a new kitchen and1/2 bath and mudroom. They reconfigured the 2nd floor into a master bedroom with full bath with laundry and new full bath in the hallway. The house was also completely updated with new wiring, plumbing, furnace, all new doors and some new windows, a lot of work indeed. We came in to patch an existing red oak inlay to fit back into a new opening into the kitchen from the dining room as well as a new red oak floor in the kitchen breakfast area and mudroom. We also re-laid the master bedroom with 3 ¼” long leaf heart pine flooring reclaimed during the 2nd floor reconfiguration, Dave and Steven picked up the old flooring and Joe and I cleaned the boards so we could re-use them, As well as repair all the doorways and install new LLHP raised thresholds in both of the bathroom doorways to accommodate the new floors in there. It was so good to work with Dave and Steven again. I looked forward to the coffee breaks, yes with donuts, everyday. The couple who bought the house from family members where very kind and brought goodies by at the end of each work week. I gained 10 lb’s while I was working there.

Unfinished 3 1/4" Ash flooring installed and finished
Ashland, MA 01721

New installation of 3 ¼" ash hardwood flooring. Sanded and finished with four coats of oil base polyurethane. Semi-gloss was the last coat. This floor was installed fitting tight to the trim, this is the way hardwood floors were installed for many years. The only place the floor was slid under anything was near the door casings. In New England we have such a long dry season that leaving an expansion is not necessary above grade. I was taught this way by my father, I like to fit tight like this because when the house settles a gap usually forms under the baseboard. Many jobs where they decide to go under the baseboard or to use quarter round molding you end up seeing this gap. Especially in new construction as these houses tend to settle more. Fitting tight may take longer because it requires exact measurements, but the results are certainly worth it. The ash almost resembles an oak grain, however, the wood is much lighter in color.

Prefinished 3 1/4" white oak hardwood flooring
Upton, MA 01568

This is a kitchen-family room adjoined. The kitchen had ceramic tile and the family room was carpeted. The home-owner decided to remove the rug and tile and discard it to save some money. However, there was an issue with some cement left behind that was under the tile. Taking out the plywood to level out the floor was not an option so I, using a sanding edger, sanded off all the cement, even under the toe kicks and base board heating! This gave us a beautiful sub-floor to bring it back tight to the floor joists to avoid squeaks. This particular wood is a 3 ¼" prefinished white oak floor that you can not buy at Home Depot or Lumber Liquidators. It has 10 coats of a Dura luster finish and is very durable. If you don't mind the eased edge of a prefinished floor, it has a lot of benefits. Once it is installed you are ready to move right in. The finish is already cured when the flooring comes out of the box and is less susceptible to scratching so you can put it to heavy use right away.
