This white oak floor in Detroit Lakes hadn't been touched in over 24 years, and it was ready for some attention.

I sanded it all the way down to fresh wood, which took off decades of wear and brought back the natural grain. Then I finished it with Loba water-based satin. It keeps white oak looking light and natural without the yellowing you get from oil-based finishes, and the satin sheen gives it a clean, modern look.

It's amazing what a refinish can do. This floor has plenty of life left in it. 🙌

If your hardwood floors haven't had any love in a while, send me a message. I'd be glad to help bring them back.

Every once in a while I get a call from a homeowner who started refinishing their floors themselves and got partway in before deciding they'd like a pro to finish it. That's exactly what this one was, and I was happy to jump in.

I sanded everything down to get an even, clean surface. Then I put down a coat of Amber Prime, which brings out the warm, rich tone in the wood. I finished it with Loba satin for a durable topcoat with a soft, natural sheen that doesn't look too shiny.

The result is warm and even, and it'll hold up to everyday life. 🙌

Century-Old Farmhouse, Refinished

Maple floors in a 100+ year old farmhouse near Lake Park — sanded and refinished with an oil-based satin finish. Oil-based satin gives maple a rich, warm depth that really shows off the wood's natural grain. Old-growth maple like this doesn't come around often, and it's always a treat to bring it back to life.

Hidden Fir Floor Reveal in Detroit Lakes

Uncovered this beautiful old fir floor in Detroit Lakes after it spent years hidden under carpet! 😍

You never know what's waiting underneath until you pull that carpet back. Sanded it down and finished it with Loba satin to bring out all that natural character and grain. Floors like this are why I love this job — there's nothing like revealing something this special.

Rough Oak to New Refinished Look: A Gary Ave Transformation

These 1.5" oak floors on Gary Ave in Detroit Lakes were rough in spots when I started — but that's exactly the kind of challenge I love. 😅

I sanded them down to get an even surface, then trowel-filled the gaps — it's that extra step that makes the difference between a decent floor and a great one. Finished it off with Loba water-based satin for a clean, durable look. From tired and worn to smooth and ready for another few decades. 🙌
