Sunshine Floor Covering

It ‘s a family owned business, and Dwayne and his wife (who runs the office) are super sweet. My new (ca. 1900!) house came with carpeting throughout — yuck. Figuring it’s better to get the floors done before I move in, I searched for a local company — it seemed neighborly to invest in a small business in my new community. I was specifically looking for distressed hardwood, something that would look appropriate in a really old house, and eco-​friendly if possible. They found exactly what I wanted — solid ¾″ made from «javawood» (that’s a sexy name for rubberwood). NB: this is a softer wood, not appropriate for heavy traffic or dogs. Dwayne dropped off the planks about a week prior to get the wood acclimated to its new environment; worked with his brothers on 100-​year old uneven floors carefully removing appliances from the kitchen; nailing 1000 sf. of hardwood; installing quarter-​round throughout; and hauling away all the trash afterward. Entire floor was completed in a week and looked beautiful (still does after almost a year, no squeaks or gaps). They also found me some beautiful vinyl flooring for the baths and laundry room that looks almost like slate. Besides being totally awesome people, they installed my flooring for a reasonable price and did a fantastic job!
