A closer look at one of our wide-plank projects: Viking engineered European white oak, measuring 11½ inches wide and installed with a glue-down method.

This progress photo was shared in January 2025 while the finishing work was underway. The broad boards bring the natural grain of the oak into focus.

Hardwood repairs start with a plan for how the new boards will meet the old.

For this red oak project, we wove new flooring into the existing 2¼-inch boards, sanded the floor, and used a white tint to soften the red tones and keep the look light.

This photo shows the room during preparation, before the new flooring was installed.

A different color can change the feel of an entire room.

For this Traverse City condo, the owner wanted to move away from the yellow tone of the existing prefinished maple. We sanded the floor and worked with them to select a custom stain color.

Before and after on this beautiful red oak floor.

This home had existing 2 1/4" random-length red oak flooring, and we wove in new flooring to blend with the original. After sanding everything flat and smooth, the customer wanted the floor to stay as light as possible while also softening the natural red tones in the oak.

We used a white tint to help mute the red hue and give the floor a cleaner, brighter look without losing the character of the wood.

We think it turned out awesome.
