White Oak Hardwood Exact Match

Unfinished White Oak
Installed and stained
Our client Andy wanted to update their original fir floors with matching white oak, which they installed years ago during the remodeling of their Mercer Island kitchen. The goal was to create a cohesive and uniform look throughout the home, enhance its aesthetic appeal and value, and maintain continuity and flow between different living spaces. Matching hardwood floors contributes to a more harmonious and visually pleasing interior.

The Challenges of Matching Wood Installed at different times

When matching existing hardwood floors to new ones, it can be challenging to achieve a seamless blend due to differences in wood grain, color variations, and wear and tear on the existing flooring. Natural aging and exposure to light can also cause the color of the original floor to change over time, further complicating the matching process. Additionally, finding the same wood species and grade as the existing flooring can be difficult, especially if the original hardwood is no longer available. These challenges often require careful consideration and the expertise of professionals who can properly stain and finish the newly installed floor to match the existing Oak Flooring.

A good flooring company can help match existing hardwood to new hardwood. At Dallas Watson Flooring, we assess the existing hardwood’s species, grade, and color to find the closest match. Sometimes, we recommend sanding and refinishing the existing hardwood to match the new hardwood better. Working with an experienced flooring professional with the expertise and resources to source or create a seamless transition between old and new hardwood floors is essential.

The original floor in Andy’s Mercer Island house was made of fir. While fir is a beautiful softwood, it can show wear and tear quite prominently, from deep scratches that are hard to repair to the worst-case scenario of getting splinters in your feet. Oak is a durable option to replace fir because it is a dense hardwood that is resistant to wear and tear.
