Red Oak Hardwood Sanding & Refinishing

Refinishing hardwood floors is one of the most cost effective ways to improve the look and value of your home. Beers Flooring recently meet with a family in Annapolis that wanted refinish the Red Oak Hardwood floors throughout their home. After years of foot traffic, sun exposure, water spills and accidental dings, the Annapolis customer wanted to bring the floors back to life. Additionally, the customer wished to change the color of the floors to a darker, more modern color.

Below are a couple of photos from our Annapolis customer's home during and after the restoration process. The first photo shows the living room and staircase after our professional flooring team sanded and removed the poly, stain, scratches, discoloration and damage caused over the years. The team also spent time repairing areas where there were small cracks and crevices. This step was essential to staining and sealing the floors properly.

The second picture shows the beauty of the Red Oak floors after Beers Flooring experts stained and finished the floor. The color seen here is a custom color created using a combination of Miniwax dark walnut and English chestnut stains. This custom stain showcased the grain variation in the red oak floors and gave them a beautiful, modern light espresso tone. The hardwood was then sealed with three coats of Glitsa Stain to ensure durability and an added layer of stain resilience.

Edgewater Home's Stunning Carpet to Hardwood Transformation

For the last 20 years it was common for contractors and homeowners to install beige carpeting throughout newly constructed homes. The neutral covering blended into most home decors and was an affordable standard flooring option. This was the case with our client in South River Colony in Edgewater, MD. Our client had an architecturally stunning curved stairway leading to second floor round hallway with balcony views of the ground floor. The homeowners had already upgraded the space by applying custom marbling paint and murals to the walls. They approached us with request to install new flooring to compliment the luxurious surroundings. Beers Flooring collaborated with the client to design and install hardwood flooring that suited the space. Together, we selected Bruce Hardwood Flooring Red Oak Gunstock. The 3 1/4 inch planks have a high gloss finish that is both beautiful and durable.

Beers Flooring and the homeowners were very pleased with their new hardwood floor. We met the goal of elevating the flooring to the match the luxury of the space even when presented with the challenge of installing hardwood in a round space. Installation of hardwood in curved spaces can be particularly difficult. Unlike other flooring companies, Beers Flooring does subcontract to 3rd party installers. Instead, Beers Flooring invests heavily in education and training of their installation staff. With project such as our Edgewater client this practice pays off. Our professional installation employees have the experience and skills to ensure the hardwood is laid correctly with smooth transitions and seamless cuts.
