Our hallway floorboards are not in the best of shape. On the lower floors, there are a couple of patches where you can feel the floorboards flex a little when you walk on them, adding a little bounce to your step. On the top floor, they are more stable, but the whole hallway creaks a lot, which is not insignificant because it’s the floor where the kids’ bedrooms are and, as any parent will tell you, once your child is asleep, you want him/her to stay that way. So we’re wondering what people would recommend for both situations? How big (or small) an ordeal is this potentially?

  1. Oh my God, We have the same problem with
    having beautiful 1830’s pine floors and
    trying to match the color with new wide pine plank flooring. Ours are a pumpkin pine color and I can’t seem to find a stain that matches.

  2. I have 1830’s original heart pine floors that we just sanded. Beautiful with just a sealer and matte poly. Problem was in matching new pine floors in additions to get a color consistent to the heart… Ended up using a maple (orange) and then a coat of provincial (brown) to get close. Any other ideas on making new pine planks to color as heart pine?
