Restoration
The fire in this 1920
Craftsman style home began in the bathroom, when an unattended candle
accidentally caught a hand towel on fire. The bathroom was completely
destroyed as was the bay window in the living room. The remainder of the
first floor was damaged by smoke and intense heat. Most of the varnish
on the original oak woodwork had bubbled-up and some of the oak was
charred. The patterned oak floor was completely destroyed from water
damage and the walls in the living room had been perforated by firemen’s
axes.
The primary challenge was to restore the home while maintaining its
original theme. New molding was fabricated by the contractor and any
original oak was stripped, refinished, and reused. Many experiments were
conducted with custom stain mixes and urethane tints to get the color of
the new and refinished wood to match the original. A new patterned oak
floor was laid with a walnut accent stripe to match the pre-existing
floor.
The customers were delighted with the restoration. The original theme of
the home has been maintained and there is virtually no trace of fire
damage or smoke smell. The kitchen and bath were remodeled to actually
blend more closely with the rest of the home than they did originally.
