Fowler Flooring is simply the best in the business when it comes to refinishing and restoring hardwoods. Fred Fowler, and his awesome crew, have brought the floors back to life at our latest flip! Despite the numerous water stains, deep gouges, lifted boards, and warped spots, Fowler Flooring made the floors look young again! The floors are the original oak from 1912. With Fred’s wisdom and suggestion, we decided to leave the floors their natural color, using a clear stain to finish the aged oak. The end result is simply incredible and far exceeded any expectations we had. Fred and his crew’s determination for satisfaction, attention to detail, and patience with the process were impeccable. We were thoroughly impressed with Fred’s work ethic and aim for perfection. He was also a great communicator, easy to reach, and very trustworthy. The aim for refinishing the floors, as well as the entire house, is to keep things as authentic as possible. Our goal with this project is not to make the house look perfect, brand new, or not lived in. The floors, just like the original doors and millwork (baseboards, picture rails, and window sills) have character. We adore the stories told within the original pieces of the house. We also relish the opportunity to buff, sand, and oil the wood that has held this house together. It has been rewarding, through multiple processes and stages, to bring the house back to life. Refinishing the original oak floor has been a highlight along this journey. Restoration is a process that is enjoyable and very rewarding. Huge thanks to Fred Fowler and everyone at Fowler Flooring. We hope to only use Fowler Flooring moving forward at PNW Property Buyers.
