Thanks man that's a big help getting started in the right direction. A few tools and some work. Blows my mind someone covered up beautiful fir floors from 1927 with crappy 80's carpeting.

Looks fantastic! I actually liked it better without any stain around the 2:00 mark. Is there a way to keep that total natural look? Maybe just a clear coat instead of stain? Thanks!

Very poor audio

Very pretty. Great job.

This video claims NWFA, but what is said here is not according to NWFA. Eye level refers to surface imperfections. NWFA flatness spec is putting a 6' or 10' straight edge on the floor then checking the variance. For nail down 3/16" in 6' or 1/4" in 10' is allowed. For glue down it's 1/8" in 6' or 3/16" in 10'. The picture shown of the straight edge on the floor, shows the floor is out of spec. You can find the NWFA installation manual online and read it. Some hardwood manufacturers, for the link for installation instructions, provide a download of that manual. Plus manufacturer's warranty follows these same guidelines. They work with the NWFA to produce these specs.

Nope. won't do it

Beautiful!

You didn't say what product you used and anything about the sanding process! what is the point of this video?!

You said that you pre treated the maple before you applied the Rubio. Which product did you use to pre treat?

Cool

What color is this one?

Just found out there’s hardwood under my living room carpet & saw there were still staples in the floor. This video was so simple/clear & I’m confident that I’ll be able to pull them all out with ease!! Thank you!!

Thank you this is very helpful. I wanted to pull up the carpeting and wasn't sure what was underneath. I pulled a small piece away from the entryway and can see it was hardwood floors. I think I will do this project over the winter

Do you have a video that goes more in depth? Im dealing with almost the exact same thing and am trying to restore the original flooring

jmack619 ​Hi Great article, ! We are doing a very small landing 4x3 feet, planning on using existing maple hardwood, and thinking of gluing to concrete, which is 38 years old . no moisture issues, and lots of extra hardwood if it messes up. would you glue it , cause I'm leaning that way . jm

Awesome work, Aaron!

Thanks for tips

Make more vids

This didn't help

Awesome work!

You're not even really filling it, you're just floating the crap off the top!

My least favorite renovation job! In our current 1898 house carpet was put over old carpet and pad. So there's 50 year old carpet over 100 year old carpet and horsehair pad. It is a dirty, yucky job! but I learned a couple of new tricks from you. Thanks!

We almost there ❤

This damages my floor and leaves gauges where the bar is tapped :(

Very helpful. Thanks.

Wish I could hear you better. Then the end music was so loud my volume was at max. 😊

Great tutorial. Thank you!

Can you tell me which sample (1-4) that was put on the floor was the rustic beige?

Thank you

Thanks, i have family trying to convince me to add vynal over my hardwoos floors. But not only do hardwood floors look nicer, they are also nicer to walk on barefoot!

What sealer did you use?

How do you cure a uv finish and what is a uv finish?

All my engineered flooring (Shaw) is bowing before being installed. RH is 20%. The floor is made to float and I'm wondering if I just glue it down it will fix the problem? Remote Alaska, so it's a pain to get new product. Thanks!

Dang, and here I am looking for how to repair hardwood flooring with no subfloor. Gotta love old homes.

The captions are terrible, could someone correct these? There’s so much echo in this video that many of the words are impossible to make out.

👍

*Let the Sunshine In* The Sun way up high in the sKy... . thanks

beautiful!

Gorgeous job. 😍

What is the color used?

More og it please share the full process 😁

what color stain did you use?

What color is the stain used?

Floor is beautiful! May I ask what brand/color stain and poly? I’ve got a red oak floor in a bedroom that has the ugly orange-toned poly from the late 50’s on it. Trying to make it lighter and more neutral. Thank you!

I’m redoing my floors and would like to know the top coat you used on the floors

What was that lighter color?

Wow that's a gorgeous finish. What's your opinion on filling gaps? I'm having my floors refinished next week in a 100 year old tuder and everyone in the neighborhood goes to the same guy. He says filling the cracks isn't a good idea.

Looks a million times better. Like the less glossy finishes too.

Datedness is a distractor; Everything was too matchy matchy so the overall effect would have been mediocre even when the floor was new. I think your work addressed the problem without overcorrecting. Overall love the results.

If you are working in old houses, don’t remove anything. There are tons of filth behind the mouldings and it will drive you insane trying to clean it. Every time you vacuum along the edges, more gunk keeps coming out and getting into the finish.
