Where It All Started

This Westwood, KS home had a story its floors were telling — and it wasn't a good one. The living room was covered in dated green carpet hiding the hardwood beneath. The kitchen, dining room, and entryway had original hardwood that was worn, scratched, and showing its age. Every room felt disconnected from the next.

The homeowners wanted one unified floor flowing through every room on the main level — bright, clean, and modern. That meant ripping out the carpet, extending solid red oak into the living room by lacing it seamlessly into the existing hardwood, then sanding and finishing everything together as one surface.

The Process

Tear Out, Extend, Unify

The green carpet came out first, revealing the subfloor beneath. Our team then installed solid red oak planks, carefully lacing them into the existing hardwood so the seam between old and new disappears completely.

Once the extension was complete, we sanded every floor on the main level together — kitchen, dining room, entryway, and the newly extended living room — creating one perfectly level, unified surface ready for finishing.

  • Red oak extension laced into existing hardwood
  • Full-surface sanding across the entire main level

The Finish

Light, Natural, Timeless

Instead of a dark stain, the homeowners chose Bona NaturalSeal — a finish that lets the red oak's true character shine through. The result is a bright, clean, modern look that opens up every room and lets the natural grain do the talking.

Multiple coats of premium polyurethane were applied with light sanding between each coat, building a durable, protective finish that will hold up to years of daily life while keeping that beautiful natural glow.

  • Bona NaturalSeal for a light, natural red oak finish
  • Multiple coats of polyurethane for lasting protection
  • Custom pattern refinishing in select areas
