Refinishing the Floors


I was lucky enough to persuade Signature Floors-one of the premier floor companies in Utah-to come down and refinish the oak floor in the living room. Chris arrived at 8 AM and worked until 7:30 PM. He sanded off the old finish, and then sanded the wood multiple times with finer sandpapers. He repaired the threshold into the kitchen, sunk nails, filled cracks, and applied a tung-oil type finish. I had him leave the other thresholds as is, because I love their worn character.


He was impressed with the quality of the floor Dale laid by hand in the late forties or fifties. It looks amazing! I will need to apply two more coats of oil finish later this Summer.
