Fit for a Queen in Quogue

 

Solid 8" Select Grade White Oak + Custom Foyer Design with 5" Select White Oak wrapped around 24" square tiles. Installed, sanded and finished with 1 coat Bona Nordic Seal & 3 coats Bona Traffic HD Satin poly.

 

One of our favorite and most challenging projects to date. Besides installing and finishing all of the solid wide plank wood flooring in this new construction home (over 8,000 square feet), we also sanded & finished all of the White Oak woodwork in the home: ceiling beams, window trim, door trim, support posts, stairs, railings, everything!  Generally speaking, wood floor people aren't crazy about heights, and some of the tall scaffolding we had to use was a bit scary! In the foyer, we had to hand scrape all the boards to avoid damaging the tile, but we had fun with the design and layout. It's hard not to be impressed by this amazing home, it is stunning!

Sublime in Southampton

 

6" Engineered Rift & Quarter Sawn White Oak & 3" X 24" Engineered Rift & Quarter Sawn Herringbone installed & finished with custom off-white stain blend and 3 coats Bona Traffic HD Extra Matte polyurethane.

 

Gut renovation on a beautiful Hamptons home. The old 2 1/4" floors were doing this house no justice, and did not emphasize the spectacular kitchen. We love the choice of the longer, narrow herringbone for this space; it is both classic and contemporary at the same time.  We removed all the old flooring, and installed all the new flooring on both levels.  We also removed all the old stair treads and replaced them with new solid White Oak RQ treads.  All work was performed with cabinetry in place, including in the kitchen, where we worked around the island as well as all the appliances.  The floors are now the lovely anchor of some seriously stellar interior design!

A New Look for a Northport Gem

 

Existing 5" Brazilian Cherry Flooring sanded and finished with 2 coats hardwood flooring bleach, 1 coat Dura Seal Rustic Beige stain and 3 coats Bona Traffic HD Extra Matte water based polyurethane.  Handrails, Newel Posts and Stair treads sanded and finished with True Black stain and 3 coats Bona Traffic HD Extra Matte water based polyurethane.

 

We are always up for a challenge, so when these customers asked us to lighten their Bright Red Brazilian Cherry flooring, we said sure!  Challenges of course were toning down the Red in these floors so that we could stain them a different color, as well as sanding all the handrails and posts entirely by hand.  One coat of bleach was definitely not enough, as the floors were still quite red.  After a second heavy coat of bleach, we were satisfied with the results and were able to continue with the rest of the work!  We were thrilled with how these used-to-be-angry-red floors came out.

Absolutely Gorgeous In Garden City

 

Engineered 7" Prime Grade European White Oak & 4" X 20" Engineered European White Oak Herringbone installed and finished with 2 coats Bona Nordic Seal and 3 coats Bona Traffic HD Satin water based polyurethane.  Same 7" Engineered Prime Grade European White Oak installed on ceilings, sanded and finished the same as the flooring.

 

When it comes to gorgeous material, this Prime Grade European White Oak is at the top of our list!  Stunning lengths, perfect milling, and sumptuous color tone are some of our favorite characteristics of this gorgeous flooring.  We were psyched to install it on the ceiling as well, and we were provided a great scaffolding, so it was actually fun!  In the foyer we installed the Herringbone with a border, a classic entry design.  We also installed this same 7" Engineered European White Oak flooring throughout the large basement, which really takes this amazing home to the next level.

Exceptional East Hampton New Construction

 

Engineered 5" Select Grade Rift & Quarter Sawn White Oak installed and finished with 1 coat custom off-white stain blend and 3 coats Bona Traffic HD Extra Matte water based polyurethane.

 

Award-winning Architectural Design meets top quality finishes in this beautiful new construction Hamptons home.  We installed these 5" Engineered Rift & Quarter Sawn floors on all 3 levels, including the basement.  The smooth grain pattern and light taupe color perfectly complement this modern design aesthetic.

Refined Design in Remsenburg

 

5" Solid Select & Better Grade White Oak flooring installed & finished with Bona Natural Seal & 3 coats Bona Traffic HD Extra Matte water based polyurethane.  3 1/4"  Solid Select & Better Grade White Oak flooring installed in gym, finished with same products.

 

What we love about this house is that it is quite large, but feels homey and comfortable.  Natural floors were in big-time this year, and these homeowners wanted that look and feel for their White Oak floors.  Bona Natural seal locks in the look of the raw wood, which works perfectly as a foothold in this home with its unique angles, shiplap, and transitional furniture.  We also installed Engineered 5" White Oak throughout the large basement, even including the golf simulator room!

Calming Cutchogue Retreat

 

Engineered 8" Rift & Quarter Sawn White Oak flooring installed & finished with 1 coat Bona Natural Seal, 1 coat Bona Nordic Seal, and 3 coats Bona Traffic HD Extra Matte water based polyurethane.

 

This beautiful home was built right on the Peconic Bay in Long Island's North Fork.  The light natural flooring complements the natural, beachy, and transitional look the customers wanted.  A challenge during this project was replacing a large section of the floors near the back doors after a significant water intrusion occurred. We replaced only part of the flooring, sanded and finished it separately, and it's nearly impossible to discern from the rest of the flooring.

Warm & Welcoming in Wading River

 

Existing 2 1/4" Red Oak flooring on 2 levels sanded and finished with 1 coat Rubio Monocoat 2C Oil, Color Pure + 1 coat Rubio Sheen Plus.

 

For this unique refinishing project the homeowner knew she wanted to use a penetrating oil like Rubio Monocoat. Penetrating oils are pushed down into the wood instead of sitting on top, strengthening it from the inside out; and there is no polyurethane that is used as a top coat. After trying several different colors, it was decided to embrace the natural beauty of the Red Oak, going with the color Pure. We topped it off with the new Rubio Sheen plus for a more of a satin sheen in the final appearance.  We love how this Red Oak looks with the penetrating oil, and it feels even better underfoot!

Quintessential Character In Quogue

 

8" Solid Character Grade Rift & Quarter Sawn White Oak installed and finished with 1 coat custom light tan stain blend and 3 coats Bona Traffic HD Extra Matte polyurethane.  We also installed the same flooring on the wall in the back of the custom wine closet, then sanded and finished it to match the flooring.

 

This gorgeous new construction home belongs to one of our best customers.  We love this Character Grade Rift & Quarter Sawn material -- it has a personality all its own and the light brown stain is just perfect.  We were excited to make the wine closet wall.  It adds an awesome and unique detail to this lovely home.
