Job Spotlight: Hand-scraped Floors
Job Spotlight a hand-scraped hardwood floor refinish.
Hand-scraped floors are very popular for homeowners who are looking for a rustic, barnwood feel for their hardwood floors. To achieve this look, our hardwood flooring specialists scrape each board to give it the desired grooves and valleys. While this type of flooring is good for hiding dirt and pet hair, there is one drawback to consider: faster wear.
We recently completed a buff and coat on a hand-scraped floor we completed a few years back. The customer noticed that the higher parts of the floor - especially those underneath furniture or in high traffic areas - were showing signs of aging faster than the lower valleys in the floor.
The finished product looked good as new!

It's in Our Blood
With three active generations on our Duane’s Floor Service team, there are still opportunities for growth and learning.
The love for hardwood floors is in our blood. We have three active generations working right now; our founder and grandfather Duane Gullickson, owner and father Troy Gullickson, and future-owner and son Sam Gullickson.
Sam has nearly two decades of hardwood flooring experience under his belt, but there are still jobs where half-a-century of experience is needed.
We recently completed a double herringbone hardwood floor design, and were beyond blessed to have Duane here to guide Sam through the process.
Installing a double herringbone floors require a lot of focus and concentration to ensure that the boards align perfectly and that the design is flawless. These two seasoned floorsman did an incredible job with this installation and we always love to see our generations working and learning together.
