This week's entranceway makeover came with a few surprises! 👊🏻
The customer's little boy kept tripping over some old cracked tiles that sat 20mm above the existing floor, so they asked us to remove them and create a flush, safe entry.
Once the tiles were up, we discovered an old concrete cooker base sitting right in the middle of the doorway. To make things more challenging, the existing hardwood flooring is no longer made, and the current board sizes don't match, ruling out a seamless repair.
Instead of fighting it, we embraced it.
We removed the concrete, installed new joists, and laid new flooring in a different direction to create a feature right at the entrance. What started as a problem ended up becoming one of the standout features of the home.
Safe, practical, and a great result all round. We're stoked with it, and the customers love it. 🪚🛠️🔥
