Anyone have to have their hardwoods re-stained?
Comments (15)Update: We met with another floor refinishing professional last night. They agree that there's too much red in the floors. There's also some color inconsistencies in ours. I'm not saying ours is the exact situation, but I just wanted to update the thread with more information for other readers. They have suggested another option for us which is less expensive than going back to bare wood, re-hand scraping, re-staining, and re-finishing. This guy is suggesting to tint the 3rd coat of poly. He will use a color with a bit more brown. Then, he will apply a top coat of clear polyurethane. He says it will not dramatically darken the floors, but it will take the pinkish red out and tone it down. The quote we received is 42% of the cost of a complete refinish. We will try to get permission from our GC to allow a test in an inconspicous area like our pantry or coat closet. Then, we will try to decide if that option is really worth the gamble. Of course a complete refinish is supposed to be more of a sure thing, but this option is so much less $$, and it will leave more of the life of the floors. Since we have hand scraped, we will loose quite a bit if they are refinished. They are thinking of using a poly tint of Antique Brown or Rosewood to tone down our Mesquite Red. I think the stain will be of a proportion around 1 cup stain to 1 gallon poly. Something of that nature, at least. Oh - this guy told us that the floors will darken naturally over time in some areas and bleach from sunlight in others...another thing that wasn't explained by our original work crew. If anyone has experience with this poly-tint technique, would love to hear. Hope that's not a thread hijack!...See MoreAnyone install hardwood to match existing hardwood?
Comments (1)Of course the easiest way to do what you want to do is to install a different width in the kitchen and use something to act as a transition between the two floors. If the kitchen section will be at the same finished height and you can and want to weave new into the old, then you will have to have oak milled to your 2 1/2" size. Not impossible, but will cost more than factory runs at the usual widths. I don't have pics for you, so I hope someone does and can post them for you....See MoreBR-111 Amendoim Hard-Wood Floor
Comments (9)aggietexan, if you send me pictures to my email address, I can set them up in one of the two photo sites I belong to that I have not used in a long time. I would add pictures and send the link here and clicking the link would allow the pictures to show. I do not know how to place pictures inside a post but I do know how to do links. I would love to see pictures. Just click my lynn2006 page and you will see a link to click my email. I am glad you are happy with your new floors. Do they have some red in them? I would love to see some close up of the knots since maybe they are tiny and will not bother me. I do love the pics of the Amendoim floors on the BR-111 website. How long have you had the floors? What color change can you see if you have a carpet on the floor?...See MoreDoes anyone have Lauzon engineered hardwood maple installed?
