This floor was a hickory common floor from Northwood. The floor was installed and stained. The homeowner loved the Jacobean stain color and had to have it. The house was in full remodel and would soon have new counter-tops, cabinets, staircase and paint. We were very happy to offer the homeowners the exact product they wanted. The first 2 days were installation and lace-in days and the final 3 days were our finishing and staining days.
Below is our sanding process for this floor:
- 50 grit belt

The finish on this floor was StreetSHoe NXT, the newest product in the Basic Coatings line. The Streetshoe finish is an absolute joy to work with! The satin color is absolutely stunning and compliments the stain perfectly.
