CB Flooring, Inc. -- February 7, 2012

Urban legend said that the floors were sanded down as far as they would go. As we planned for the renovation, after much deliberation on the design team, general contractor, and flooring specialists, the School elected to "save" the old pine floors and take a chance that they could be refinished. Monarc Construction, our general contractor, selected CB Flooring to handle the restoration work on the floors.

CB Flooring is working wonders on the School's fine old pine floors. Amazing craftsmanship.


The small sanding machine takes off a very small amount of wood.


Multiple choices for the final stain. The horizontal stain is the original flooring; the vertical samples are on new pine flooring.


The floor in the former First Grade, soon-to-be Music Room. The wood has been stripped but not yet stained or varnished.
