School House Rocks!

Over the winter SCF worked on an old school house in Berthoud, CO. When I initially looked at the floor the structure was under some serious construction. There were areas that the previous owner had cut in plumbing, heating and a number of other “head scratching” areas. The current owners had a vision to restore the history of the building while keeping as much of the original materials as possible. New interior walls, insulation, windows and an updated laundry, master bath and kitchen were also in the works.

After the initial repairs and rough sanding were done the interior walls were put up and the place began to take shape…

Once all the finish work was done we came back in and finalized the flooring. The owners really wanted to keep the color close to the old floor minus the wax and years of build up. After some “customized” staining we got everything just right and applied the final coat.

Projects like these really make us proud of the work we do. And now this school house… ROCKS!

New York New York!

Over the years we have worked on some really special projects. From hand textured, patterned floors to refinishing old craftsmen bungalows, we have always enjoyed creating and restoring beauty.

This summer we had an opportunity to work with John Yarema on the Kennedy Green House. You can check out some of his work at www.johnyarema.com

Reclaimed flooring, patterns, intricate designs…you name it and this floor has it.

Working with an Artist is an experience in itself, however, working with an Artist who also happens to be a hardwood flooring craftsmen is as Visa says… priceless.

The home has been featured in several national publications and even has it’s own website! www.kennedygreenhouse.com/index.php

Advanced Installation Training – St. Louis

Installers complete Advanced Installation Training

At the end of February, two of our installers completed a 3 day course on Advanced Installation techniques. Learning new skills is important to us and we invest heavily in our employees. The guys flew out to St. Louis and got instruction from one of the most respected installers in the country. He also happens to own his own installation business. This makes for very “real” and practical advice.

Here are just a few of the skills we picked up in our time in Missouri.
