Hand scraped floors?

[randal]

Anyone have them? Like them? Cost??

We did them in our last house. Hand scraped mesquite with varied widths. My wife wrote the check so I didn't have to see it. :-) From memory they were around twenty dollars a foot. Oak or hickory etc. would be significantly cheaper.

Look at hardwooddesigns.net A couple Aggies started it. We used them anyways. I think their main facility is in College Station but they have an office in Bee Cave and likely elsewhere. The current trend on flooring is to go wider plank and lighter colors/gray. You can do that a lot cheaper than hand scraped.

Take a look at rectified wood look tile.

It should be less expensive, is for sure more durable, requires less maintenance, you won't have to worry about humidity levels in your house,etc.

we did at our old lakehouse about 2010. It 3k for ~1200 sq ft. It was the original oak floor that had been covered in carpet for a number of years.

We liked it.

We did it at our camphouse. Loved it. Good for price

We did #3 white oak in our house for about $7.50/ft.

We purchased some black walnut from hardwood designs and Brandon Claborn years ago for our home. Turned out great and way cheaper than $20/ft. Would be happy to share before and after pics. Pm me for pics

That’s what we have now and I’m not a huge fan but it’s still an option..

We have had them in our last two houses. I don’t like them. I have two boys and they can tear up an anvil.......much less something as delicate as real wood floors. I wouldn’t do them again. They look awesome when they are new.

Real hardwoods handscraped on site are hard to beat in my opinion. Nothing like a real wood floor. The price range varies depending on what species/width/ grade you are wanting but start around $7 sqft. all in.

I've had them installed on several projects. I also have it in our current home. We love the look.

They aren't hard to do yourself. I've done it a few times and although it is tedious, it's not difficult. And you really can't screw it up. We really like them because they wear so much better than a smooth surface. It hides the beatings the floor takes from everyday life.

On a new install do you still sand and screen prior to stain and poly when you scrape or distress?

I have installed, sanded and finished a lot of hardwood floors but never scraped or distressed them.
