How to match or blend old fir floors to new hardwood?
Comments (1)Hi emmie! When we redid our LR and took out the carpet, we found hardwood (I think it is white oak with that honey colored mellowed poly finish) on part of the floor and slab or linoleum on other parts (from previous remodel). Our GC examined the wood and did a fantastic job of choosing the correct stock and finish. His finish carpenter meticulously "cut in" the new wood into the old by cutting back some of the old in a staggered pattern and adding in the new. There are a few places where you can "tell", overall it has a remarkably uniform look. I'll give you his info if you need a contractor who does this well. Just e-mail me.

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 MoreOld to new hardwood floor dilemma
Comments (24)Ok, UPDATE. My local Benjamin Moore store told me to bring in my extra pieces of wood and to try their samples on them. Landed on Old Masters Cedar wiping stain I think this will be as close as we can get. There will be cabinets over most of the transitions so I think it will be ok....See MoreHELP!!

Comments (1)It’s a redo, have them tear out the new white oak floors. Replace with red oak to match the old red oak floors. how many square feet is old? maybe replace that with white oak....See MoreLyndee Lee
