We recently refinished hardwood floors in a house that was sixty some years old. The living room and hall were stained a dark brown where the two bedrooms were not. Needless to say, the floors were well worn and needed freshened up.

Refinishing Two Rooms Floors Into One
This house was built in the late 50’s or early 60’s. We were asked to refinish the floors upstairs and to refinish the stair treads, hand rail, and newel posts. The one bedroom was once two separate rooms, you could see where the two floors met did not match in color, but after we sanded the floor, we were able to get a better match.
Bookcase
We were asked to make a bookcase to sit on top of these base cabinets. We did so and made doors for the existing cabinets.
The Gems of an Old House
We have been working in an old house that is dated back to 1909.
One of the gems of an old house is when the original floors can be saved. ?
Replacing Balusters, Newel Posts and refinish Handrails, Treads
Here is stair way job that needed redone. The old Newel posts were replaced with box newels and the balusters were replaced with metal balusters. The handrails and stair treads were stained to match the flooring that will be installed by others.

Refinishing Antique Heart Pine
We finished up the stairway and foyer this morning. The floor and stair treads are antique heart pine.
Stairway Revived and New Handrail
We completed a stairway and handrail job. The homeowner ripped the carpet off the stairs and took down the base newel post because it was so wobbly. He wanted a more modern look for the handrail. He went with having horizontal bars and we made the newel posts and new handrail. For the steps we installed the stair treads and risers. The homeowner was quite delighted to have a more solid handrail! ?
Refinishing older Floors
Here are a few pictures of the recent floor we refinished. They were quite drab. The homeowner wanted the floors stained a medium brown which complimented the color of the walls they painted.
