Los Angeles Hardwood Flooring Project #4:

Venice Beach Hardwood Floor Refinishing | Edge Grain Oak Install + Rubio Monocoat

This was a really fun hardwood floor installation and refinishing project in Venice Beach, Los Angeles. The owner is an architect so of course it was going to be a unique floor. In the end, an edge grain white oak wood floor was sourced from Kaswell Flooring. Below you can see how it turned out...

Wood Floor Installation

For this Venice Beach hardwood floor refinishing and installation project, the whole house had the custom parquet flooring installed, including the 49 steps and 54 risers. That's a LOT of stairs. It took our crew 2 weeks to prepare the sub-floors and staircases, install the wood flooring and then sand and refinish it.

Sanding and Refinishing

After sanding the floors in preparation for the finish, our favorite hardwax oil, Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C, was used for the finish system. The color Pure was chosen. To make sure the thousands of joints in the edge grain flooring looked good, we used a special filler (Loba EasyFillPro) that would accept the color so it looked the same as the flooring. We're very happy with how this custom hardwood floor in Venice Beach turned out. Happily, so are the owners.

Wood: Edge Grain White Oak

Finish: Rubio Monocoat

HAPPY CLIENT feedback

My experience with CMC Hardwood Floors has been more than pleasant from the beginning to the end. I was looking to re-sand our hardwood floors, and after talking with many contractors, Marcos was the most professional and honest from the beginning who gave me the approximate quote right at front and knew exactly what had to be done when I showed him a few pictures of floors that I liked. I am more than happy that I asked Marcos to do our project! The end product was perfect and honestly the floors are my favorite part of the house. Marcos is very professional and was such a pleasant person to interact with throughout the project. Although his price is not the cheapest, it is very reasonable (which I can confirm after asking many other contractors), and most of all, he delivers the end product that I am just very happy with. If you are looking for a reliable and knowledgeable contractor for your flooring project, you will not regret choosing CMC Hardwood Floors.

Here's some more feedback we received from another hardwood floor refinishing project in the Los Angeles area...

MORE HAPPY CLIENT feedback

CMC Hardwood Floors, headed by Marcos Proti, is an artistic, ethical company that does excellent work. We had had a terrible experience with another company in 2008, when the floors were installed and we wanted to avoid that kind of catastrophe, again. So, in 2014, after a failed refrigerator ruined our kitchen floor, making it necessary to repair the damage and refinish the floors throughout the house, we contacted CMC Hardwood floors for a consultation and an estimate. CMC’s price was fair, their service was superior and Marcos Proti is not only a craftsman but an artist, who really knows how to bring out the beauty in the wood. He patiently worked with us to get the color and tone of the stain just right. CMC was efficient, fast and clean — and the work was beautiful. In April of this year (2020) our floors were damaged by rainwater, flooding into the house. We contacted Marcos. We had a tight deadline to complete the work. He jumped right in on the project, working with us to choose the stain and the finish. Once again, CMC Hardwood Floors did an amazing job. They completed the project in record time and the floors are even more beautiful than they were when they were new. We highly recommend this company.
