Wilderness Ranch is a place with wonderful views, few people and tranquil sounds. This house had seen its share of dirt, salt and all the other seasonal affects a floor can go through. The floor was beaten down for over 10 years and it showed. The soft grain of the wood was completely missing and gone, the finish was stripped off from constant use and the floor didn’t even look like red oak anymore. The homeowner wanted the floor to have beauty again and show character her and her family could enjoy.
