This is a small bedroom repair of some of the worst cupping and shrinking I have ever seen. The cause of this type of damage is from years of chemical exposure. Specifically, this room was used as a wood shop and wood stripper was spilled over the floor for a very long time.
You guys are the best! I love my floors!
Hey nice video,and you can help, you can use start n finish cousres to close the walls with. Great job on the video good to see great work.
Thanks very much. I love the start n finish courses. What a great product!
One of our favorite clients!!!
now why would nt you rip out the old stuff back to the door
This is one of those jobs that was on a very tight budget. Ripping out all the way to the door would have added about 40 square feet (because there was a closet as well) to the project, which equated to about $275 – $300 more in labor and material. We tore back to where the flooring was still servicable, re-installed with the same species and refinished. Thanks for watching!
Can anyone tell me what the title and artist is for the soundtrack? I would love to know. Thanks.
Where did you get the jack/tool that prys the final boards? I’ve always done it with a flat bar but that looks like it works GREAT!
Your videos and results look awesome.
There are several manufacturers of floor jacks. this one is produced by Porta-Nails Inc. You should be able to pick one up through a hardwood flooring suppy distributer. If not, let us know and we can get you connected with the right people. Thanks for Watching!
when we got our house the floors looked burned and they still look like that
WOW!
Did you have the the floors refinished prior to moving in? If so and it still looks burned, you may have to do some repairs. Does the entire floor looked burned?
i ve had my floors refinished, and no not the ENTIRE floor is burned. some parts are brown (normal) and some parts are black (burned)
my floor had been refinished, some parts of the floor r brown some are black,
Nice work. keep it up. mean time come for social media marketing for esteembpo**com hfdh
Question: I had a roof leak on my 2.25″ oak strip. The damaged boards have lifted at the edges. Assuming that is cupping? Water also came in under the front door (unusually high wind) rippling the wood there. Also had a water leak at the fridge. 3 damaged areas – total floor is area is about 2K sq ft. Is there anyway to repair these areas? Would entire floor need to be sanded and refinished? Floor is 13 years old. Thanks.
Yes, this is cupping caused by the water. The damaged areas, if severe, may need to be torn out and toothed back in. There should not be a need to tear out all of the floor. As for refinishing, I would recommend having the entire floor sanded if there are no breaks in the floor. The newly sanded would look very different than the new after 13 years should you elect to only sand part. This may be an insurance claim, so check with a local “Paul Davis Restoration” company or similar restoration Co.
We do a lot of work with “Paul Davis” and they are very good at working with the insurance companies. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
what a difference.. and i don’t think you could get any more adorable!
Why thank you, Leslie, I will take that as a huge compliment! Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks so much and we appreciate you watching!
This sounds like some sort of uneven staining or possibly some kind of contaminate. The floors may require another refinishing, I hate to say. Thanks for watching!
Nice video. Although I have only about six pieces of hardwood floor which need to be replaced from my puppy peeing into it constantly in the same spot, the floor darkened and only 6 pieces are lifted. Can you help me?
