Here you see a before and after picture of two rooms with hardwood floors, originally separated by two walls, indicated by the lines.  The homeowners chose to join the rooms to attain a more open floor plan.   Click here to see more pictures of the finished floor, and some other in-progress pictures.

BEFORE	AFTER

Below is a common situation.  The tile floor was installed over the original floor without planning for the difference in height of the new floor or the void evident in the doorjamb.  After discussing the possibilities with the owner, we removed an appropriate amount of old flooring.  We replaced each board with longer boards to cover the doorjamb, then finished with an attractive finish piece over the tile edge.
