Local hardwood flooring recommendations?

[beertestr]

Looking for 3/4" oak flooring, unfinished, not engineered, solid oak. DIY or installed, have not decided.

Roughly 19'x16' room.

I had Bruce's Hardwood Floor refinish mine a couple years ago. Awesome company to do business with, father & son business. They did a fantastic job. They also do repairs & installation. I'll see if I still have a card.

Give Bill a call at Yerke Floors. Tell him Mat from Painless Autoworks referred you. Great guy, excellent work. Has dustless sanding too which is a plus if needed.

Really cool local sawmill. All lumber is cut in Michigan and drug out the old fashion way with horses. Not to bad on pricing either very competitive.

Doesn't Jimbo do this line of work? Finish line floors or something along those lines...

I hate to say it , but did you try the big box stores? I have seen solid plank hardwood there for like $4 per square foot. I would stay away from the "Hardwood Floors" that only have 1/8" of real hardwood on the top. The good stuff is cut from one solid piece of Oak.

I've been looking at that, price oddly is almost the same for prefinished vs unfinished. The trade off is a 1/16" bevel that will come off the first time you refinish. Hmmm

I bought all of mine from Schafer Hardwood Flooring out of Tecumseh a while back. There website forwards to some manufactured stuff now. Not sure if they still sell it, but it was really inexpensive and very well milled and finished.

Chelsea Plank Flooring down the street from me is/was twice as expensive and the people were kind of assholes... and neither their milling nor finish was as nice. But the guy lives in a giant mansion north of town almost to Stockbridge and has to get tax abatements to keep his employees so there is that.

It is really easy to do yourself, especially if you have a decent table saw, chop saw, compound miter saw, or radial arm saw.

Update, went with prefinished solid oak. $4 per square foot.

On a related note, the nailer was not designed for somebody 6'2", more like 5'2"..
