Pasadena Hardwood Floor Installation | End Grain Mesquite + Rubio Monocoat
The homeowners of this historical 1951 mid century modern home in the Los Angeles suburb of Pasadena wanted to install very unique floors. They also wanted a tough and very durable wood floor. After much consideration and research they chose to go with end grain Mesquite floors for the main living area of the home.
Wood Floor Installation
Before the wood floor installation, the concrete sub-floor was coated with two coats of moisture barrier to prevent any moisture issues down the road. Once dried, each piece of end grain Mesquite was hand installed, piece by piece throughout a 900 sq/ft living room on a bed of glue. A slow, but fun and rewarding process.
Sanding and Refinishing
Once the glue-down installation was completed the dustless sanding and refinishing process began. Because of the nature of this custom parquet wood flooring product, the sanding process was done a little differently as opposed to how we would handle sanding a standard hardwood floor. With end grain wood floors, we typically trowel-fill the floor twice using sanding dust as our filler to fill any gaps. We used our planetary sanders to eliminate any sanding scratches and the result was flawless. In order to preserve the natural beauty of the end grain mesquite floor we finished them with 2 coats of Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C hardwax oil.
If you are looking for an extremely hard and durable hardwood floor for your Pasadena hardwood floor installation, end grain should definitely be on your list.

HAPPY CLIENT feedback
Marcos is truly a craftsman of his trade. He laced new oak into our kitchen from our existing floors and refinished them throughout - his work ended up beautifully transforming our space and being one of the parts that I love the most about our remodel. Initial bid to completion took 3 long months, many, many trips to my home and a multitude of questions from me. Marcos approached our project with knowledge and care, even when it meant multiple phases and an elongated schedule. He was also quick to point out any challenges he faced and offered up expert solutions - consulting me before making any decisions no matter how big or small. Throughout the process, Marcos was consistently professional, communicative, flexible, efficient in his crew's work and attentive to every detail. I've already recommended CMC to a couple of friends, but his work really speaks for itself. Thank you, Marcos!Heather S. - Los Angeles, CA | 5 Star Review on Yelp

Marcos did an awesome job on our floors. He is honest. He does quality work. He really exceeded my expectations in every way. After our white oak floors were done they were perfect. White back ground with grey LOBA stain was perfect. Movers came in and scuffed the floors Marcos returned and restained the scuffed areas free of charge. He is exceptional! I would definitely hire him again for my next house.Rich T. - Santa Monica, CA | 5 Star Review on Yelp

Another 5 stars for Marcos - Not because of the work he did but because of his honesty and professionalism. I explained my need to get floors refinished or replaced ASAP and after listening patiently to my story and asking a couple of questions he said, quite sincerely and apologetically, that he felt he would not be able to take our job because he was too booked. A mark of a true professional.Wendy N. - Los Angeles, CA | 5 Star Review on Yelp
