Hardwood Floor Installation

Interior Remodel on Tillamook

One of our recent projects has been an Interior Remodel on Tilamook in Hide-A-Way Hills. The "face lift" we gave the home included, a new hard wood floor in the living room, a new ceramic tile floor in the kitchen, new granite tile kitchen counter tops, and a solid maple butcher-block island counter top.

The kitchen before vinyl and carpet floors with laminate counter tops.

The the floors have been prepared for the tile by installing concrete backer board.

The tile has started to be installed with an accent border around the perimeter of the floor.

We chose granite tile for the counter tops over solid granite with about a 75% cost savings.

The Butcher Block Island Top was custom made from solid maple then installed on a repositioned existing cabinet.

The completed kitchen with new tile floor, granite counter, and butcher block island.

The hardwood floor we chose to use is 2 1/4 oak with a natural finish. To cary the border in to the living room from the kitchen an inlay finished in gunstock is installed around the perimeter of the room.

Hard Wood Floor Progress

The progress continues on our Taos Lane Hard Wood Floor.

Hard Wood Floor

Our current project at Scott Martin Construction is a Hard Wood Floor installation in a home on Taos Lane in Hide-A-Way Hills. The scope of this project will entail removing all the kitchen cabinets, taking out existing ceramic tile, removing a pantry to allow a new pantry to be constructed in a more convenient location, installing a patio door where a window once was located and re-installing the original kitchen cabinetry.

Pine Floor

Recently, we installed the floor in the living room and kitchen at our Nelsonville new build. The material is Southern Yellow Pine in a seven inch wide tongue and groove plank. The owners decided to tackle this project themselves over the week end. They installed the floor unfinished and will sand, stain, and finish later.

Floors

I thought I would take a look at a floor project we installed last year. It was really four projects, three tile floors and one hardwood.



We started with the tile in the kitchen. The owners wanted a custom design and they opted for a clipped 12"x12" blue floor tile with a 4"x4" cobalt wall tile laid at 45 degrees. In the bath we repeated the same pattern with white instead of blue.



Three inch wide oak hardwood was the choice for the dining / living room. To define the living room space, and to keep the project in the budget we were working with, we made an island of carpet surrounded by the hardwood.

A-Frame

In the summer of 2005, we took on a remodel addition project on H-A-H Lane in Hide-A-Way Hills.The owners had bought an a-frame cabin that had been unoccupied for several years. As with a lot of projects of this type, the scope of the job expanded as it went on. What started out relatively small, snowballed into a major reconstruction as we found more things needed replacing. It might almost have been less expensive to tear it down and build a new house, but we wouldn't have ended up with a home with anywhere near the character of this one. By project completion we had accomplished the following:
-Built a dormer,installed skylights, and re roofed the house.
-Built a 16'x16' addition on a basement.
-Put in all new plumbing. electrical, and a furnace.
-Installed new windows and doors.
-Created a brand new kitchen and bath.
-Covered the ceilings with tongue and groove pine and the floors with oak hardwood.
-Built over 400 sq. ft of new decks.
