White Oak Installation & Refinishing
New 3¼-inch white oak was installed upstairs and existing hardwood was refinished downstairs with a Bona White + Sand Dune color blend and Berger-Seidle GreenStar Satin.
New white oak upstairs, refinished hardwood downstairs
New 3¼-inch white oak replaced carpet upstairs while the existing hardwood downstairs was sanded and refinished. Board direction, transitions, color, and the stair landing were planned together so the two levels would relate visually. Bona White and Sand Dune were blended for the selected color, followed by Berger-Seidle GreenStar in satin.

New and existing hardwood can often be coordinated, but board width, species, age, natural variation, transitions, and existing conditions all affect the result. We evaluate those details before recommending how the new and existing flooring should come together.
Can new hardwood coordinate with existing floors?
What should be checked after carpet is removed?
Can installation and refinishing be completed as one project?
