Red Oak Hardwood Floors Northeast Minneapolis

We finished up these floors this morning in Northeast Minneapolis off of Central and 36th.  It was a 1950s rambler, three bedrooms, hallway and living room.  The floors were probably refinished 15-20 years ago.  They were not in that bad of condition, but the finish was starting to wear off in some spots and the finish had aged into a yellowish color.  So we went in and sanded them down.  I cut them down three times on the body and three times on the edge.  There was a dark gray spot close to the kitchen that you can see in the before picture.  I was a little concerned about getting this spot out.  Once the oak grains start to get gray or black a lot of times you can’t get it cleaned.  But as you can see it came up good and was pretty much eliminated completely when we got done.

Minneapolis Hardwood Floor Refinishing 1940s Rambler

The thing I like about most ramblers is that the floors are ususally pretty level.  That makes my job a lot easier because I don’t have to go back and spot sand.  One thing that is very important when your sanding a floor is to finish off the edge cut with at least a 100 grit paper.  You’ll get a lot smoother look and you’ll be able to see the grain patterns more vividly.  We do hardwood floor refinishing in Minneapolis everyday so give us a call if your interested.  Thanks a lot. 612-423-0202.
