Here is a small representation of my sand and refinishing work on hardwood flooring. I have worked on a wide array of flooring- many different species of floors (oak, hickory, Brazilian cherry, white and red oak, pine, maple, walnut, bamboo, acacia, fir), different ages (historic and thin and fragile or freshly installed), and different grades of flooring (1, 2, 3, and select, and quarter sawn, end grain, live sawn).
Helena hardwood sand and refinish with major repairs and stair replacement
This flooring restoration and hardwood refinishing was a historic mansion in downtown Helena. It took about a month to complete the entire job because of the extensive repair work and replacement of a flight of stairs. There was a lot of water damage under the radiators which needed repairing and whole sections were replaced in some areas. Portions of parquet flooring needed to be patched with flooring installation and integrated with the parquet pattern. I also applied more layers of finish to protect the floor since many areas were quite thin. The photos are a gloss finish and the end result although the homeowner ended up desiring satin at the end and I didn't photograph the result.

Hardwood refinishing: Douglas Fir End Grain Sand and Finish
This was a large sand and finish of end grain wood in Yellowstone National Park at Canyon Lodge where we had to remove a thick layer of glue from an old carpet that had had been laid on top of the hardwood floor. This job was quite a while ago and it was one my Dad was hired for. I assisted with all aspects of it's implementation and my wife even helped with some of the sanding since it was such a large job. Thus, why we have so many pictures! We had to install 1000 ft more of the end-grain douglas fir flooring, level it to the existing floor and repair numerous parts of the floor. After we sanded off all parts of the glue, old finish and scratches, the gaps were filled with mud. The surface mud was sanded off, the wood was polished to a shine and woca oil finish was applied although this was against my Dad's and my recommendation since it is not a durable surface treatment for such a fragile and high traffic area. Unfortunately, the woca oil wasn't enough and instead of opting for a stronger coating, the beautiful douglas fir end grain hardwood historic to the site was covered again.

Hardwood refinish: Brazillian Cherry Sand and Refinish
This hardwood refinishing job was another of my Dad's from many years ago where my wife also helped with the sanding using the trio and why we have so many pictures again. There was some smoke damage in the house which led to the hardwood refinishing/restoration. Brazillian Cherry hardwood is a very hard wood and takes a lot of time to refinish.
