Hardwood Floors

We vacated the house for two weeks on a summer vacation and we had the hardwood floors completed when we were away. The existing hardwoods in the living room, dining room and main hallway had been originally completed in 1955. Since then the were covered with carpet until we exposed them in 2002 when we bought the house. Over the past 7 years the finish coat has experienced some damage and the floors need refurbishing.

For the new addition family room and connecting hallway we were able to continue the same 1 1/2" red oak flooring from the dining room. It is a seamless transition between the spaces - as if it always has been that way.

Kevin of Kevins Flooring was able to sand out and stain the two floors so they look as one. If one looks really hard you will be able to see the transitions but you will have to look. Below are three images of the new "dusty" hardwood floors.
