Bringing New Life to a Classic Home

Project Location: Portland, OR 97206

Materials: Mirage, Red Oak Natural Hardwood Floor

Project Overview

At Rejuvenation Floor & Design, we take immense pride in transforming homes into beautiful, market-ready properties that blend timeless charm with modern elegance. Recently, we had the pleasure of working with a Portland, OR homeowner who needed to prepare their early 1900's home for the market.

This project presented a unique challenge: the existing oak flooring was approximately 80 years old, very thin, and required extensive repairs that made proper restoration impractical.

Understanding the importance of maintaining the historical integrity of the home while ensuring it appealed to prospective buyers, we collaborated closely with the homeowner and their realtor to find the perfect solution. The realtor suggested installing new red oak hardwood flooring by Mirage, known for its durability and classic aesthetic that would seamlessly complement the traditional look of the home.

The Transformation Process

1. Assessment and Planning: Our first step was to thoroughly assess the condition of the existing flooring. It was clear that the old oak, while beautiful in its heyday, had seen better days. With thin planks and significant wear, restoration was not a feasible option. We then discussed various flooring options with the homeowner and their realtor, ultimately deciding on the rich, warm tones of Mirage’s red oak hardwood.
2. Installation of New Red Oak Hardwood: The choice of Mirage’s red oak hardwood was perfect for this project. Known for its stunning grain patterns and exceptional quality, this flooring not only enhanced the home’s aesthetic but also provided the durability needed for a busy household. Our skilled installation team meticulously laid the new hardwood, ensuring a flawless finish that highlighted the natural beauty of the wood.
3. Adding the Finishing Touch: To complete the transformation, we added new white shoe molding at the interface between the flooring and the baseboards. This small but significant detail provided a crisp, clean edge that accentuated the new hardwood floors and gave the home a polished, finished look.

The Result

The transformation was nothing short of spectacular. The new red oak hardwood flooring breathed new life into the home, offering a perfect blend of traditional charm and modern sophistication. The rich, warm tones of the red oak complemented the home’s early 1900's architecture, while the new white shoe molding added a touch of elegance and refinement.

Client Satisfaction

Our client was thrilled with the results, noting how the new flooring not only enhanced the home’s beauty but also increased its market appeal. Their realtor was equally pleased, confident that the updated flooring would attract potential buyers looking for a home that marries historical charm with contemporary style.
