Finding the right flooring contractor can be a challenge, especially when it comes to refinishing hardwood floors. Makaira, a homeowner’s representative, encountered this issue when searching for a contractor to enhance her client’s home in La Costa. However, with the help of her friends in her search for Refinish Hardwood Flooring, the project took an exciting turn, resulting in a remarkable transformation. Let’s dive into the details of this incredible renovation journey.
Discovering the Perfect Solution
Makaira’s client was looking to visually enhance their home without the need for a complete floor replacement. Frustrated by contractors suggesting to replace the flooring as an expensive option, Marika reached out to San Diego Flooring Pros, recommended by a trusted colleague from Pacific Sotheby’s.
With the provided photos, we instantly recognized the installed floor as Hallmark’s alta vista, a high-quality hardwood flooring with an exceptional wear layer.
Assessment and Timely Action
Upon inspection, the hardwood flooring revealed signs of deep wear and discoloration in certain areas. However, we determined that the overall condition of the floor was remarkably good. The client’s urgency to list the property prompted the question of whether immediate action was possible. Fortunately, due to a postponed job, we were able to accommodate the request, despite being typically scheduled of 3 to 4 weeks for refinishing projects.
Unveiling the Natural Beauty
To revive the hardwood flooring, we began by sanding the top layer, meticulously removing heavy distressing and dark stains. This process exposed the stunning natural beauty of the European oak hardwood. The decision was made to keep the flooring in its natural state, showcasing the exquisite color variations within the wood.
Preserving for the Future
Considering that the home in La Costa featured a large single-story layout with an active entertainment area and pool, it was crucial to ensure the longevity and durability of the refinished floors. To achieve this, we applied three coats of Bona Traffic, a high-performance on-site finish renowned for its ability to protect hardwood flooring for many years to come.
A Dramatic Transformation
The results of the hardwood floor refinishing were nothing short of astonishing. The lighter color, achieved by removing the heavy distressing and dark stains, completely transformed the look and feel of the home. The existing owner may have even reconsidered their decision to sell the property, given the remarkable change brought about by the new look of the home.
