GSHF's solid reputation has been built on years of customer satisfaction, unmatched attention to detail, and most importantly, the customer intimacy we've developed throughout the years.   Much of our business is derived from customer referrals.  In fact, many of our referrals are friends and family members of our past customers.  GSHF specializes in the installation, sand and refinishing of all wood flooring; however we are best known for our customized services.  GSHF is pleased to present a highlight of some of our completed projects which fall into these categories: One-on-one customer consultation on project scope from vision establishment and design, to wood product selection, to stain and finish selection Custom design and installation of borders and inlays Artistic consultation and design of painted images and stenciled borders On-site design and installation of custom nosings and reducers Restoration of vintage wood flooring using various techniques which preserve and accent the unique characteristics of vintage wood Repair of existing wood flooring due to animal staining, water damage and insect damage Buffing and cleaning of existing flooring for renewal of finish Isolated repairs of single boards or splicing into existing flooring   Installation, sanding and refinishing of staircases Installation of flush mount wood flooring vents Pictured on the left is a Living Room/ Dining Room Area done in 4 1/4" Red Oak Select/Better.  The project included installation, sanding and finishing, custom staining, and installation of a decorative medallion. Pictured to the right is random width 3", 5", and 7" Yellow Pine installed and then top nailed every 16 inches with 2 inch hard case masonry nails.  After consultations with the customer, GSHF developed a custom stain color and the floor was finished with tung oil to create and imitate the glow of an 1800s Williamsburg, Virginia home. Pictured to the left is a Living Room / Dining Room Area done in 2 1/4" Red Oak.  The flooring is stained natural with a custom border installed.  The design of the border was achieved through consultations with GSHF. Pictured to the left is a repair job done to a 2 1/4" Red Oak Floor.  The floor was damaged and was in need of repair due to severe dog urine stains.  The affected boards were pulled from the floor, replaced with new 2 1/4" unfinished red oak, and spliced into the existing flooring.  After sanding and finishing, the floor has been restored. Pictured to the right is the replacement of a staircase.  The homeowner started with a staircase that was a builder grade set of pine treads and risers which was previously covered with carpet.  The carpet was removed and a new staircase was built with a new set of oak treads, risers, and handrail to upgrade the staircase and give it a more rich look. Pictured to the left is a customer project which entailed salvaging antique heart pine wood from a 100 year old burned down church.  The wood was milled from it's original state into hardwood flooring and installed and finished.  The customer was able to salvage a piece of history and add unique character to her home.  Pictured above is a antique cork floor from a 1950s farmhouse that we completely restored to it's original state.
