Installation, Sanding, Refinishing
Here is an example from one of our more interesting jobs and a testimonial from the client:
When I bought this house, it had wall-to-wall carpet which was old, dirty and smelly. It soon became obvious why
it was smelly. The carpet was put in probably more than 10 years ago, possibly as many as 20. There was a foam-like
padding that was put in under the carpet to cushion it. After all those years, this material hardened to a substance
that I can best compare to concrete, except it smelled bad in addition to being hard. It was nearly impossible to get the stuff off the floor
and I had to scrape most of it
with a large scraper. This material is the white residue on the floor which you can see in the Before pictures. It was
originally 1/4 inch thick in most places. Floor Sanders had to sand through the rest.
Also notice in the Living Room Before and After pictures that Floor Sanders had to replace a section of wood where plaster
was left instead (near the corner of the wall). When the house was originally built, there was a wall where the plaster was
that separated the Living Room from the Dining Room. You may also notice two different types of wood were used, fir (lighter
color, in the middle of the picture) and oak (on the sides).

Note: The very bright spots in the After pictures is sunlight and window reflections and they are not blemishes in the floor or in the photographs

Note: The Before and After pictures are taken from opposite ends of the room. Sorry about the confusion. Note the big scraper in the Before picture in the upper left corner
