The customer's foyer and hallway had a tile they wanted gone. They wanted to update the areas and blend it into the existing kitchen, which had prefinished wood flooring installed; this they wanted to keep.
Here you can see the tile material in the foyer and into the hallway.
Ripout Phase
We removed the tile and prepared the area to install a new prefinished wood flooring. This part if very important. Not only do we need to be very careful not to damage anything besides what is being removed, this also gives us a chance to look for any trouble area in the subfloor. This is where having an expert installer comes in especially handy.

Install Phase
After the tile was removed from the foyer and hallway, we were ready to install the new prefinished wood flooring.
The customer chose a Bruce 2-1/4"prefinished red oak wood flooring material.
Refinish Phase
Now that that prefinished wood flooring was installed, it was time to tackle the existing kitchen floor. The kitchen floor was actually a prefinished floor as well. Some may not know this, but a prefinished floor can typically be sanded and refinished to extend its life.
TIP: Prefinished floors can be typically be refinished to extend the life of the floors!
As you can from the pictures taken before the floor was refinished, there were clear signs of wear-and-tear. You can see areas of discoloration and build-up from years of foot traffic.
But these oak floors came back to life! Notice how dark the area in the corner appears in the "before" photos above compares to how clean that refinished floors came out.
We sanded the floors using our Bona Dust Containment System and then applied Bona Woodline oil-modified polyurethane finish with a semi-gloss sheen.
This creates a nice warn, amber-toned finish that blends well with the newly installed prefinished flooring in the hallway and foyer.
