Gallery of Refinish work and Installations

Golden Blend

ZTC construction called and was honest stating that they normally dealt with one of the big boys on the block when it came to wood floor projects. Well, the big boys were a lil busy and wouldn't call back, so he gave us a try. After sanding and blending to match stain of existing floor, we held our own and he was not disappointed. Golden Oak stain and Satin oil based polyurethane.

Go Tornados !!!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful couple fixing up a home for their children right around the corner from the greatest high school on the planet....Alcoa High! They asked could we sand and refinish the floors and use a compatible stain. Gave us the keys and off they went to the islands and off we went to making the floors beautiful. Upon their return....we showed them what a few local boys could really do.

Acrylic is "NOT" a friend!

Went to an estimate in Tellico Village. Seems homeowner let a wannabe floor man come in and put an acrylic coat of shine on her prefinished floors. BAD results. She thought a full refinish was necessary...which would cost thousands! I suggested a much more economical fix by chemically stripping floor, then buffing, sealing and applying a coat of Semi gloss oil based polyurethane for thousands less. Several days later after some good old fashioned elbow grease and know how or pockets werent as padded but we did the right thing and the floors are gorgeous.

Tung Oil

One of the oldest finishes on the market and still just as beautiful. Tung Oil penetrates wood unlike polyurethane and is pretty durable. Beautiful hand rubbed appearance and almost soft to the touch. Great thing...anyone can recoat it...including the average do it yourself when needed. Product used was Waterlox.

Do it for the children...

What color is this floor? Well, they were black from years and years of Mop and Glo. When you use mop and glo...or however you spell it....it builds layer upon layer. Trapping dirt as it goes until eventually...a black sticky floor in the daycare my daughter grew up in and which she continues to help out with the small children. I finally get a call to see what I can do. We chemically stripped them and put a shine back on them. Kiddies can now run around...if running was allowed.

Re coat to save a life

Beautiful floor when we left but Mr. had a little more work to do. So, in manly fashion...he protected the floor and used tape to make the drop cloth stay in place. Good man. However, when he went to remove the tape, the finish also was removed. He did try to repair but to save his hide, he called us back to Buff and Recoat. Now they are beautiful again and he is still among the living.

Scratches on prefinished...no big thing

Company that we are affiliated made a couple of scratches on a prefinished floor. No worries...be happy. Customer had saved some of his wood. After board replacements...Scratches....they gone.

The Real thing

Done alot of Oak floors that we stained Cherry. Only three or four that were actually Cherry wood. Nothing beats the real thing. Cherry floors with a Satin Oil base finish.

Hello Dear.....crickets

So, a familiar number pops up on the phone...that I know has got to be my sweetheart. As customary and wisely.....I say...Hello. Turns out is was not my sweetheart. It was a co worker of hers. Crickets for a moment but it all turned out great. Her co worker was the great Mr. Mitch. Pure coincidence. After a good laugh and a lil hard work...Mr. Mitch has beautiful floors. English Chestnut with an oil base finish.

Greatest of compliments

Wide board Oak refinish for a nice couple. There was extensive floor damage from a previous floor covering. The entire area in photo was black. After board replacements, the customer gave us one of the best compliments he could give...he said, "You guys made the floor looked like it had grown there."

Perfect Match

Mr. M thought carpet removal, installation and stain to match existing floor that had been done years before was a tall order. When he returned from vacation we had cut it down to size with Red Oak chestnut stain and a satin oil based polyurethane.

All American

Not seen to often around here but American wide board Beech is incredibly beautiful in its on right. Clear coat Semi gloss oil based polyurethane.

The Floor that Joe built

Tile is Tile

We were asked by a contractor if we could handle carpet tile glue down installation. Our response....Tile is Tile.

Sweet Gunstock

Those two words typically don't go together but this time they do. First home for customer who by far is the nicest and kindest customer we have ever had and we have had some great ones. She was even sweeter after my cleaner spilled a solvent on the floor and the room had to be redone. Yes, we make mistakes! She is such good people...and Oh...the floors are great now also. Gunstock with water based satin polyurethane.

Watch that first step...

Cant take credit for the installation but the finishing is all ours. Incredibly dark and beautiful stain with a semi gloss varnish

A little cover up

Nice folks getting into the landlord business but an ugly floor stood in the way. So after repairs, filling, sanding and coating.....they are off to the races. Red Mahogany with an oil based polyurethane.

Lastly, look closely near the lower left hand side of the picture. Although the doggy spot did not come out completely through sanding, the darker stain choice did mask it well.

He loves Golden Oak

Another floor done for one of our investors that flip homes for a living. When asked what color stain, there was no guessing....Golden Oak is the only answer. Im just gonna stop asking. They are beautiful. Golden Oak with water base polyurethane.

What was...

An old damp basement was turned into beautiful living area after leveling of the cement and nice glue down prefinished cork tile.

You never know whats under there

House was built in the 50's. To say that it had several other flooring types on top of the hardwood....would be an understatement. To say that the hardwood were a lil on the ugly side....also an understatement. To say they are gorgeous now....Red oak with Dark Walnut oil based Satin finish.

Let Oak be Oak

Wonderful couple with alot of flooring space. He initially wanted a buff and coat but moma wanted a full refinish. Guess who won. Also, coating with a stain was an issue but after consultation, they decided to let Oak look like Oak. Just a clear oil based satin polyurethane.

Pop the Cork

Couple with the freedom to take their occupation on the road bought themselves an Aeorstream. Gutted it and rebuilt it from....wheels up and decided on prefinished cork flooring. They did not have the time to do it themselves so we were called into install glue down cork tile flooring. They could not be happier.

Find the Crack

Small hairline cracks in tile that were a little unsightly. A little epoxy and fine grit sandpaper and no one is the wiser. Take a look and try to locate which line is the repair and which lines came with the tile.

Oak and Cherry

Oak Floors brought back to life with a Minwax Cherry and Satin two part waterbase polyurethane for durability.

Wax on.....peel off

45 year old square parquet floors that have been waxed annually, cannot simply be coated with oil based polyurethane. Hard lesson for first contractor to learn once the floor began peeling. No worries....a full refinish and a few precautionary steps for adhesion topped off with a high endurance satin water base polyurethane and they will look great for years to come.

Some assembly required

Hometown customer that was tired of looking at the sun damaged prefinished floors that were once beautiful and full of color...just like it still was under the rugs. We came in and demo'd the sun faded boards and installed/weaved matching prefinished boards.

Full refinish not necessary

Many times a floor does not require a full refinish to bring back shine and longevity. This floor only required a cleaning and recoat to enhance its resale value at a fraction of the cost and time of a full refinish. Prefinished floor with a little stain added to oil base poly to reduce sun damage.

Cherry..Cherry

Couples first home and like all good men should, he listened to her regarding her stain choice of Cherry on Red oak with a Satin oil base polyurethane.

Its still someones HOME!

Nice folks from the other side of TN called us in to refinish the bamboo floors and install new Bamboo in the Master bedroom. Mostly because of previous cabin renters severely scratching the floor. Well.....4 coats of high end satin water base Polyurethane and super hard prefinished Bamboo in Master bedroom....."They will now take a lickin and keep on tickin."

It is a "Great cabin in the Smokies"...now!

Warped and crowned Southern Yellow pine is what we walked into but level smooth clear coated oil based floors are what we walked out of.....

Mosaic away

New homeowner loved the mission style kitchen the previous owner left them but the small 6X6 mosaic tiles placed throughout the floor.....ehh not so much. So we removed them and used leftover tile from years back and matched the grout and removed a hideous mosaic/tile bullnose and replaces with a wide wooden turnboard and subtle transition from wood to tile. There is beauty in simplicity.

Fireplace Facelift

Previous homeowner did a do it yourself and in the end did it to himself. Luckily, great customer from "BAMA" decided to do it right. Mosaic tile, Crown molding, Trim and "All the Marble"....aint she a beaut?!

All the Marble

Well it all started with blue tape pulling the finish off of her wood and it ended in an entrance way that is now a masterpiece. 45 degree Marble with bronze inserts.

Up and Down

A good customer who has become a good friend was so tickled at how good we finished the upstairs that he had us do the downstairs. The downstairs had been ruined by pet stains. No problem. Couple of board replacements with a clear oil based Polyurethane and....good as new.

Ms. D

Beautiful home in the great little city of Alcoa owned by no other than Ms. D. We installed tile and engineered flooring and the results....well if Ms. D is happy, then the rest just don't matter.

Too High

Kentucky folks aint all that bad but apparently they love heights. Beautiful laminate floor laid in a cabin on the side of a mountain but son....it was too high. I dont know what made me happier...how the floor turned out or when I was leaving.

Makeover

Small project turned into a full makeover of entire home three weeks later but after carpet was removed and new unfinished red oak was installed, sanded and stained with Zar Early American and top coated with an oil based Satin polyurethane its one step closer to completion. They were extremely happy with floors but they may have been happier that everything was almost done.

Romeo's huge dog house

Original flooring company installed the wood but used a Tung Oil finish. Being a dark exotic hardwood that type of finish showed every scuff and scratch. So we came in and sanded the steps and flooring down and applied one of the hardest commercial two part polyurethanes on the market. It want scratch any more. Oh...Romeo was the 70 lb Doberman that ran the house. He was happy also.

New color...new floor

Great customer who was referred to us. After color sampling, he decided to go with a new Minwax color "Weathered Oak". Great choice. The stain has hints of Grey in it. Topped with a satin water base.

Flat to a High beautiful note

Flush vents that came from the manufacturer both unfinished and flat. We could have just finished the vents and installed them but they would not have matched the floors appearance and feel. Developed new technique to give the flat vents the feel of handscraped and spray coated them to match flooring. Turned out so great, submitted process to NWFA.

After installing over 1300 sq of wood and trim and finishing with a Super Matte water base polyurethane, it turns out our vertical is just as good as our horizontal.

Cabin in the Smokies

Unfortunately, there is almost no way to remove pet stains and dark deep scratches completely but using a darker stain can minimize their appearance.

Reading isnt the only thing fundamental....

Beautiful and colorful floors in one of Knoxville's favorite bookstores children area will definitely help with learning and enjoyment.

Buff and Coat (Screening)

Beautiful home with now beautiful floors. Semi gloss oil base

Bad situation Good results

Customers were as nice as the home. However, the builder used thin engineered for their flooring and sanded it on top of that. Customer wanted to refinish but due to the thinness of the wood only a buff and coat could be done. High traffic areas were lightened and floor coated with Satin Waterbase polyurethane.

Shame on him

Even though she was from Kentucky....her builder did her wrong. Beautiful house but he had some fly by night come in and install sheet vinyl in her home and on top of that, it peeled at the seams. After years of living with the mess, she decided to have it done right. She called us. Found her a beautiful Porcelain Slate lookalike tile at a great price. We then took out the old vinyl, laid underlayment and tile and stained quarter round to match her beautiful cabinets.

Right hand Man

Customer in Jefferson City that was living with storm damage for awhile. Only a portion of the floor was effected by water damage but on top of that a waxy cleaner had been used. My right hand man not only sanded a portion of the floor but did a perfect stain match to the rest of the floor. Cleaned, buffed and coated. Hats off to Darrin.

From the Heart

There are several pine choices when it comes to flooring but the most beautiful of them all is "Heart Pine" especially after they have been refinished and clear coated with satin water base.

Being number #1 aint always best

3 inch wide number 2 Red Oak has so much more visual diversity than a number 1 grade of Oak that you have to stop and look. Each board is a floor unto itself. Gloss oil base poly.

White Pine

Pine that was covered in carpet for years. Lets rip carpet out and sand them and let those babies shine after 4 coats of Oil base Satin. Mission accomplished.

Sweet Maple

Steps were original carpeted but the customer below wanted new stairs to match her maple flooring. Stairs were demo'd and new Maple treads and risers were installed and stained to match almost perfectly with Polyshades Maple.

IFT is next to cleanliness and cleanliness is...

Customer just moved into home with beautiful Prefinished Maple floors. Too bad they were covered in a Murphys Soap haze. IFT to the rescue. IFT is a cleaning product specifically designed to remove haze and film buildup on flooring. Little elbow grease and bling!

Slate or Tile?

Customer wanted a Slate look but not Slate prices. We found a tile look alike and demo'd the front of her tub, placed backerboard, tiled and here you go.

Believe it....

This is a kitchen floor that was under a layer of vinyl, plywood and yet anther layer of vinyl. What you see is the black backing on the last layer of vinyl. PLEASE SEE "Or Not" ...

Or Not....

Same kitchen floors after board repairs, nail removal, mastic removal, scraping, sanding, staining individual boards and floor to match and finally coated with Oil base semi-gloss polyurethane.

Wash and Coat

Beautiful deck but was covered with green slime. A good washing and quite a bit of SPAR urethane later, beautiful again.

Done right!

Customer is moving into her new home from out of state but the wood floors were sanded by the previous homeowner with not so good results. Well we showed her a Tennessee hospitality and did them right. Red Oak with Cherry stain and Water base gloss.

Economical and Beautiful

Great family inherited a home and when the carpet was removed.....hardwood floors. They wanted beauty but were on a budget. A buff removed the old carpet padding residue and a coating.

Frank Loyd Wright did it right

Beautiful home and a wonderful customer purchased a home near UT hospital. The home and the customer deserved the best that we could do. Natural finish with and a semi oil base coating. I think we did both the justice that was deserved.

Pine to Paint to Pine

Seems over a hundred years ago....someone laid these beautiful pine floors. Skip forward about fifty years...someone decided to paint over them. Skip forward another fifty years...resand and a water base coating...as beautiful as the day they were laid over a hundred years ago.

Man your floor is Buff....

Veto Power

Good contractor friend who never had any of the homes refinished hired us to come in and redo 100 year old pine floors and vinyl. Once we finished, he panicked and wanted to cover them up because he thought they were ugly...I said ok but you better ask your wife and real estate agent first. Two hours later phone rings...he had been vetoed not once but twice. They said the floors were beautiful. He may still be in the doghouse.

Painting - comes naturally

Painting is so much like staining and coating a floor...I decided to add it to our services. Ugly laminate cabinet doors in a dental office now have a new beautiful look. More to come.

Previous customers that had me and the team install and finish their hardwood floors decided it was time to do away with their vinyl in the kitchen. Some hammering and sanding and here you go. Gunstock stain with Oil based Semi Gloss.

Old Mill...New look

We were asked if we could maintain the look of the old mills floors while at the same time making them beautiful. A buff and coat later....NICE!

Almost a shame

These are the floors of an older home that were almost covered with tile. The original floors were old and covered with black tar. Homeowner did not think they should or could be saved. After repairing areas and sanding..she was happily proved wrong. Provincial stain and satin water base.

Prefinished or Refinished

Now, we did these floors but its up to you to figure out if they are prefinished or Refinished. Good luck..

After Mr. Homeowner

Mr. Homeowner tried his hand at refinishing his floors himself. You have to respect that. Well...Mrs Homeowner wasn't so happy. We came in and sanded, finished and coated the floor. Mr. Homeowner is now safe. English Chestnut, Satin Water base polyurethane.

Water Damage...no problem

Local boys helping one another. Child hood friend calls me up after he has water damage from bathroom. He need damaged floor removed and replaced. He was hoping I could match the older flooring and weave the new back in without any noticeable difference. Well....you be the judge.

Staircase on a Staircase

Repeat customer wanted a new set of steps but the problem was that the old set had supports that, without alot of money, time and work, could not be removed. How did we solve the problem? Look along the sides of the treads...yep....we enclosed/framed the old supports and kept on rolling. Beautiful set of steps and risers.

Installed new wood, Red Mahogany stain and coated with Oil base semi gloss. Installed custom transitions for the slight elevation. Turned out pretty nice.

Carpet...carpet..we don't need no stinkin.....

Red Oak with Woodfill

This a Wood filled floor before sanding. Wood fill is to older wood floors as grout is to tile. Wood fill or sometimes commonly called Trowel fill, fills small to medium gaps in wooden floors that have opened up over time. Wood filling a floor is the difference between a good floor person and a very good floor person. Now not all floors need wood fill but many do and if the floor contractor includes this in their overall estimate like we do, then they are a very good floor person.
