I recently bought a hundred year old two family in Greenpoint. I am looking to have the floors redone. Due to furniture color and circumstance I am looking to have the floors redone. My initial summation of the situation was, “I want grey”. Is this a really deviant (uhhh) choice? I have been doing my due diligence, or whatever, on the Internet, and have come to the conclusion that this might be and (unknowingly) unpopular choice. At least on this side of the pond. All the examples that are in line with my desires seem to emanate from the ream of the .uk. I’,m nobodies fool, so I’d prefer to stay away from dollars v. sterling. My question is is there anyone who produces such wood locally? I’m no stickler for the absolute perfection in production. Apparently, the Brits are doing a white ash with some sort of black oil staining. Its beautiful, but I’m not really trying to absorb $20+ a sqft in materials alone. BTW way whats an acceptable rate for labor on such a job? I had one contractor over who quoted me $3000 labor + materials on what is a 750 sqft job. Is this reasonable? Does anyone know of a local shop that could approximate such an aesthetic? I understand with a drop in price comes a drop in quality, but can someone recommend an alternative that is affordable and approaches this “look”?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
