New Flooring and Baseboards in Crafton

Here's one from earlier this year where we replaced a really old eccentric linoleum floor with a fresh new look! Here at the start you can see the old being replaced by Sedona Traffic Master Allure vinyl flooring!

This was difficult due to the room not having a main straight wall!. All cabinet base parts, closets, doorways, halls and hot water registers. We did get it in the end!

Then there were all the cuts needed to add this new base board and quarter round. We lost count.

All in all though, everyone was happy with the finished product.

Bathroom Remodeling in McMurray

Here's a spiffy bathroom renovation we were able to do for a great couple out in McMurray PA. This is a photo of the completed project and we'll continue with a walk through the process.

This was what we had to start with.

Dated tile, shower door, color scheme...

toilet...

and water damage too. The goal was a new tile floor and shower along with new toilet, vanity and fixtures.

Everything starts with demolition!

Once the tile floor was out, the sub-floor could be assessed.

We removed a waterlogged section of the floor and unfortunately the wall it supported. Our plumber capped the supply lines and we began the rebuild process.

Once the new sub-flooring, wall and plumbing was back in place the new TileRedi shower pan was installed. This is a wonderful product for tile bases!

The existing walls had lots of texture from previous wallpaper removals so we replaced the damaged ones to save time in the long run. Here the new drywall and cement board for the tile are being installed.

Walls are in and primer is going on!!

Primed, and ready for paint and tile installation.

Shower flooring goes in first and then the step. We had a great piece of marble cut for the job at the Stone Connection out on Neville Island. They do quick wonderful work!

Next the walls go up!! On the edges we used metal track for a crisp finish.

Last, the flooring. Sorry the photo isn't fantastic but the floor is!

When the vanity was fitted in place, the supply lines were half an inch to short!! That's when you get in a good plumber to add an extension. A shark bite fitting would have been below the cabinet base height so not an option.

However, a little patience and there you have it!

New lighting and mirror installed too!

The final step was this really sweet barn style glass door from Rex Glass. They were very professional to work with from start to finish.

Thus another fantastic job done and with a great deal of satisfaction and happy customers, we can move on to the next one!!

Flooring Install - Finshed in Venitia - Part Three

Well to finish the whole house, we needed one more thing, new flooring. The fun with this one is the flooring runs around the kitchen, through the front hall, entryway, powder room and closets. Yahoo! Well as you can see we did it, now we'll show you how.

The old flooring had welcome mats melted onto it by the sun and was showing wear.

We used Allure resilient vinyl tile from TrafficMASTER. The pattern we chose was "Ashlar" to keep with the warm tones in the house. It comes in 1 foot by 3 foot planks.

This flooring goes right over your old stuff if you have a solid floor. We decided to trim the baseboards and slip our pieces under rather than removing all the trim.

The Fein can get any interior corners the saw can't reach.

We recommend you start in a solid corner. We didn't have that luxury. Our first piece had a vent and a doorway. We also decided to alternate the tiles so the seams were offset.

Once the initial cuts are made the flooring goes in rather quickly. Be sure to tuck your corners and edges in nice and tight.

You can use a utility knife to cut. Make sure you have a good hard surface and a nice straight edge to work with.

All the fun spots are back behind stoves refrigerators and into closets

The main floor went on quite nicely

Working around stoves and refrigerators can be quite challenging when there's no place to put them. We moved ours into the corner in front of the closet. We then installed the flooring up behind it and  rolled the refrigerator back onto the new floor.

Next came the final thin row along the edge of the wall to the basement door way, into the front hall and closet

Fun times cutting thin little pieces. be careful not to bend or flex thin pieces, it can break off.

But then you get to install nice full pieces and keep the floor rolling

Once we got past the closet we had the powder room to contend with. The toilet was removed in the flooring placed through the bathroom.

The worst piece was in the entryway at the bottom of the stairwell, as you can see.

But something that trivial didn't stop us!

Then it was fitting the final pieces in along the entry and the front door.

There you have it! A beautiful entryway with the tack strips replaced and the heater vent back in place. 

The hall with the powder room and the closet all finished. 

And the kitchen in all its glory.

We use a wood threshold to match the flooring in the family room to separate it from the kitchen. 

Here's a few parting shots.
