@ardexamericas @_newgrind_ If you need to install solid hardwood over concrete, you better make sure the subfloor is flat! We start by grinding off all the contamination with our #rm350 then we prime the floor with #ardexvr98 then we pour a new surface using #ardexk10 self leveler at an 1/8” We can now get away with such a thin pour because our equipment #newgrindrhino is now doing a lot of the work for us. I love investing in our quality! Nothing makes me happier. #floorsbytheshore #nwfacertifiedpros #ardexcertified #selflevelingisimportant #flatfloorsociety

@procoat Why do we love UV? Let us count the ways.

@procoat Why do we love UV? Let us count the ways. First and foremost we can put your furniture back as soon as we cure your floor 3 hours after we apply the final coat. 😎 That’s a game changer when normal Modus Operandi is (3) Days! It’s important because most people are living in their home while we work. Because of this we are forced to split the home in two. When we can cure, move furniture back and keep going without the 3 days wait. That’s a game changer for us. Second is its enhanced appearance I believe we get the same look with 3 coats that normally takes 4 with other coatings. Third is its ability to kill bacteria that hit the floor with its Rx anti microbial built in properties. 😳 Forth and maybe the most important is something we did not realize until we were in it. Is its ability to be spot repaired easily. Meaning we can do finish touch-ups in the middle of a room after a year or more and we get perfectly matching sheen results. That is really difficult with regular water based or oil based Polyurethane. Fifth is the ease of maintenance coats. If homeowners were to maintain their wood floors by applying a coat of finish every 3-6 years they would stay looking there best. The problem is cure times. Who wants to wait 3 days to put their furniture back? We can complete most homes in 2 days without taking the furniture out of the home. Simply by splitting the house in half and doing one side at a time per day. The last thing that is awesome is we can coat PVC, Concrete, Vinyl, prefinished hardwood and I’m sure other things because it sticks to everything (almost) So when those cheap Chinese floors start to break down we can actually refinish them and save you thousands in replacement costs. #floorsbytheshore #uvcured #radcoat #aluminumoxide I almost forgot we can add Aluminum Oxide for enhanced durability and it’s the most chemical resistant of all water based finishes (Dog pee) I think that’s it #nwfacertifiedpros #procoatcertified😉 #familybiz #since1984💫✨⚡️⭐️🌟

This is now the best seat in the house. 💙 Nothing but #realantiquewood Barn Wood. Some people have a vision for their home. I try to find it , and exploit it. #shaper is gonna get down next week on this job.

Everyone has their own way. My way is to explain e

Everyone has their own way. My way is to explain every step to the homeowner in my proposal. I know this is not the norm, but I believe in explaining the process. How you sand is paramount to the outcome. Some start at 36 grit then jump to 80 grit then buff at 100. They do not run planetary sanders and they skip several grit sequences. For a floor, that to the untrained eye might look acceptable. Of course if you asked a high-end sander to look at the same floor he would throw up 🤮 We prefer to explain that we don’t usually even start at such a low grit (36) unless the floor is cupped or crowned or very old pine subfloors. We start at 60 grit With our belt sander. Typically at a 10-15 degree angle for the first cut to be able to flatten the floor without going to 36 grit. Then another pass at 60 straight. This is the last time we use our Belt/Drum sander and at this point everything is completed with the planetary sander. We like to again hit 60 grit with 2 passes 60- hard plate cross grain is what really makes the floor flat and free of imperfections caused by the belt sander. We do this step super slow. Then we run 60 Soft plate ( cushioning between the machine and the paper-to help remove scratches) with the grain a little faster then 80 soft plate -100 soft plate then if we stain we are running 120 Norton mesh on the trio and we always finish with a 120 Buff /still using red heat screens because we can’t get mesh to stick to anything we have tried for the buffer and 16”interface pads are still a dream I guess. Obviously we edge usually just 60-120 then palm sand 120- with mesh. Then water pop, stain and finish always following manufacturers recommendations on application procedures. So in conclusion we don’t charge more we do more! Hopefully this helps explain some of the reason we cost more. #floorsbytheshore #nwfacertifiedpros #laglerpstcertified BTW -the right way to vacuum is with felt going with the grain always

@ciccotello My immensely talented friend Mr Ciccotello is an illustrator. If you are looking for some new books to read with your kids, I think you will fall in love with Mike’s Amazing talent to bring things to life. This book is especially awesome to me. It should be required reading for all hardwood floor guys. 😉 #treemendous #readersareleaders💙 #ifyoudontreadyouarealemming

@bona_pro Bona Nordic Seal Many finishers have fallen prey to the difficulties of applying Nordic seal. We like to water pop and apply the product heavy. We generally “work” the sealer a lot more than the finish, to ensure nice even application with no lines left from the sealer. It dries quickly, causing lap lines that look unsightly. This is why you hire #bonacertifiedcraftsman We have been properly trained not only by the #nwfa but also by those who’s products we use and commit to. By doing this the customer benefits in countless ways. It’s a symbiotic relationship that creates better more consistent results. What’s not to live about that? #floorsbytheshore #nordicseal #whiteoak

@shapertools I got some fun stuff coming up with this thing. We’re going to use inlay pieces for the circles and fill in the rest with a metallic Epoxy. What do you guys think? #floorsbytheshore

@procoat @durasealwoodfinishes @advancedflooringll

@procoat @durasealwoodfinishes @advancedflooringllc Homeowners often ask me, what’s going on with floor colors?My response? It depends where you live. I have found that if the home is within 10 miles of the ocean they almost always go light and when you get past that, the colors go dark. Brown, Grey & Beige, with a black floor in there every once in a while. So coastal light, inland dark but there are always exceptions. As far as us? We certainly have our own taste, but our goal is to guide you with our extensive knowledge of color to get to the end result. A floor that the client loves! That makes all your friends take notice and compliment you on such an amazing Home. Some people think I’m too serious. I say there’s nothing funny about spending people’s money. I want the results and the process to be the best they can be. And We never back down from a challenge! #floorsbytheshore #nwfacertifiedpros #holmdel #herringbonefloor #metalinlays #walnutfeaturestrips #redoak #uvcuredfinish #radcoat #durasealdarkgrey #designersatin #nomoretile #advancedflooring #familybiz #laglertrio #laglerhummel💚 #nortonstrong #nortonredheat #nortonmeshpower #flatfloorsociety #since1984💫✨⚡️⭐️🌟

You never know what lurks below the Tile Floor! Th

You never know what lurks below the Tile Floor! This house started as a ceramic tile rip up and hardwood install. Once demo started the fun began. Lots of surprises including particle board underlayment and rot galore. Water damage from leaking radiators, cracked, skewed, and twisted joists with inadequate support. All of this was hidden under several layers of flooring and a crawl space that was difficult to maneuver. We stop and assess the damage. We figure out a plan of action and we submit this to the homeowner. We educate them on what we found and how we plan to fix it. 3- footings, Lolly columns and 40 LVLs later we are dead flat 3/16” over 10’. (We use LVLs because they are straight as an arrow, and can support more weight with a greater span) The standard for subfloor flatness. We will never uncover a problem and not offer a solution. I have a team of professionals that make me look good everyday. After that was complete we installed an #aprilairedehumidifier to control basement moisture. Then we prepped the subfloor with @bona_pro #bonar540 and installed @hickmanwoods 3” rift and quarter sawn white oak using #bonar851 overkill? Maybe but I love glue for additional sound reduction and moisture protection. Glued floors make less noise! Now our beautiful floors are ready to be sanded and man are we ready! This was a long haul and we are excited to be sanding this one. #floorsbytheshore #lollycolumns #lvlsarebetter #nomoremoistureissues #flatfloorsociety #structural #waterdamagerepair #whiteoak #belmar #wenevergiveup #flooringcontractor
