Our client's next door neighbor kindly recommended us to revive their worn-out floors. The carpets had become victims of the mischievous antics of their beloved old dogs, leaving behind unsightly pet stains. Recognizing the inconvenience, the clients graciously entrusted us with the project while they were away, ensuring minimal disruption to their personal lives. As we removed the carpet, we discovered that both the carpet and padding were still damp from the pet accidents.
With the clients' guidance, we visited a local flooring store where they carefully selected a durable prefinished hardwood that would withstand the test of time. Our team diligently removed the outdated laminate and carpet, replacing them with beautiful wide plank flooring. To add a touch of harmony, the client decided to sand down the handrails and newel posts to match the pristine new flooring. Accomplishing this was effortless for my skilled team and me. Furthermore, we enhanced the aesthetic appeal of the house by replacing the outdated wooden balusters with sleek, contemporary iron balusters, bringing the home up to today's standards. When the clients returned to town, they were absolutely amazed by the remarkable transformation we had achieved. During a visit to my nearest Home Depot in Lawrenceville, I had an unexpected encounter with a potential client. While I was inside the store, the client noticed my contact number displayed on my van, highlighting the importance of having signage on work vehicles. It's remarkable how stopping at a store can lead to new business opportunities. The client reached out to me, and we swiftly arranged an in-home consultation.
Upon entering the client's residence, I immediately noticed their outdated and two-toned engineered hardwood flooring. It was evident that the floors were in dire need of a makeover. The client and his wife were delightful individuals, and we found common ground as we discovered that their son and I attended the same high school in the area. We agreed that the best course of action would be to remove the old engineered hardwood and replace it with stunning solid red oak flooring throughout the entire main floor. To ensure their complete satisfaction, I provided the couple with various stain and finish samples. Ultimately, they decided on a natural finish that would illuminate their home when sunlight poured in through the expansive windows. Additionally, we carefully sanded down the existing red oak stair treads to perfectly complement the new flooring. As a final touch, we applied Bona Traffic HD in a Semi-Gloss sheen to complete the project. I have no doubt that the clients will cherish their brand-new oak floors for many years to come. Our encounter at the Home Depot turned out to be a fortuitous event that resulted in a successful and satisfying renovation for this lovely couple. Transforming a worn-out Red Oak hardwood floor in South Atlanta into a stunning masterpiece requires more than just a simple cleaning. Neglected and covered in layers of wax, MopNGlo, Rejuvenate, QuickShine, and OrangeGlo, the floor was in desperate need of a complete revival. Recognizing this, the homeowner decided to embark on the path of sanding and refinishing, breathing new life into their beloved flooring.
However, a mere Power Scrubber couldn't undo the years of neglect, leaving no choice but to undergo the intricate process of sanding. Additionally, the homeowner saw this as an opportunity to infuse the floor with a fresh stain color, further enhancing its revitalization. Not stopping at the mere revitalization of the existing floor, the homeowner decided to go the extra mile and opt for new oak installation in both the family room and office. This decision added an element of cohesion and seamless beauty to the overall aesthetic of their home. After careful consideration, the homeowner settled on the enchanting combination of Duraseal Classic Grey stain and Duraseal Oil-based polyurethane. This choice would not only complement the existing Red Oak floor but also provide a durable and long-lasting finish. The result of this ambitious project was nothing short of astonishing. The once neglected and tired floor was now a stunning centerpiece, radiating elegance and sophistication. Through the meticulous process of sanding, refinishing, and the addition of new oak installation, this South Atlanta home had truly undergone a transformative journey, leaving the homeowner in awe of their newly rejuvenated space. Our team recently completed a stunning White Oak staircase installation for a valued client residing in the prestigious Stonebriar Sugarloaf in Duluth. With a flawless natural finish, this exquisite flooring exudes an undeniable elegance that harmoniously blends with the overall aesthetic of the entire house.
