Always Real Wood

Prescott Construction

Wood Floor Shopping

Prescott Construction, located in Roanoke, Virginia easily qualify as real wood experts and SYP Direct partners. Southern Yellow Pine Direct has no agreement with Prescott, nor do we profit other than informing other Virginia residents about our partners in the state.  It is simple, we market ourselves as  the homeowner resource and introducing VA to Prescott construction  is part of our model. Sure we are bragging, but we are also validating your search for real wood and hopefully our Southern Pine floors.

Prescott Philosophy

It is not what we do, it is the way we do it. “Over the years we’ve managed to build, along with our many projects, a reputation for impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail. We specialize in residential and commercial construction, new custom homes, and historic renovations and rehabilitation’s. It’s not just the work itself we take pride in, but the way we do it.”

Prescott Construction uses Real wood

Real wood kitchens are a perfect example Prescott Construction does business. Most customers are unaware, 90% of builders and professionals in Virginia would have pushed the customer towards an engineered floor, or tile in the kitchen. Why? Higher margins, easier installation and most customers believe that is the best choice for a kitchen. It simply is not true, not for real wood professionals who understand the process and how much value they add by giving you a real wood kitchen.

Contact Prescott Direct

Restorations in Virginia

In Virginia a restoration or renovation can mean taking the property back in time, or in can be a blend of modern updates and the past. From what we have observed Prescott Construction is integral in the design and planning process, acting as consultants. Matt Prescott, told us during our first conversation that “each client gets 100% of our attention, no matter the size or scope of project”. Upon hearing this, we knew we wanted to work with this company, they get it.

More about SYP Direct

Southern Yellow Pine Direct was founded in 2012 specializing in Alabama Pine. Today we have delivered Southern Pine in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and Canada. Our mission from day one was to  target homeowners and not builders or re-sellers. However, professionals such as Prescott Construction make great partners.  The relationships we build with homeowners and select builders, the key to our success, with 75% of business are referrals. This relationship was built one job at time and we make sure we take care of each customer no matter what the order size.

We urge you to listen to offers and then read our reviews…a pattern emerges; great materials, amazing prices and customer service over and above. It is not magic what we do it is just really old school. We approach with a ‘one house, one floor’ attitude where repeat business happens when customers add on or move. We are the homeowners source for building materials, including; Knotty Pine, New Heart Pine, Caribbean Heart Pine and Antique Reclaimed Heart Pine in small batches from select producers when available.

Find an expert when matching an old pine floor

One of the keys when attempting to match an existing pine floor, the right materials. Sounds simple enough until you realize the amazing things mother nature can do with time. Have you ever seen a hundred-year-old floor below the existing finish? The short answer, they get better looking with age; meaning each time you refinish it, the patina and colors are darker. Therefore, the question how to match an existing pine floor hinges on choosing the correct materials, i.e., grain pattern, grain type, Knots (if so sizes), and the amount (if any) of heart pine.

Project Homecoming New Orleans

Project Homecoming is a faith-based community development organization building resilient neighborhoods in the greater New Orleans area. These guys are committed to facilitating a culture of care in targeted communities.  SYP Direct had the pleasure of helping with the floors within the main house, and help repair it after water leak.  If you are interested visit Project Homecoming Facebook page to find out more about this amazing work. FYI the floors are 6″ White Oak, the picture a bathroom. SYP Direct matched that little cut out and helped repair with a patch.

Monocoat wood floor finishes

Our favorite Finishes, Finish and Install

Our favorite finish products allow a true custom color blend finish using their 2-C process, Monocoat wood floor finishes are also eco-friendly with a zero VOC rating. Manufactured by Rubio, offering unique blends designed as effects such as fumed or smoke. Instructions for finish are simple to say the least. Day one clean, wipe on oil, remove excess. Day two let dry, ready in 24-48 hours. Easy to  maintain, Monocoat provides a simple way to fix scratches, as well. Visit their site, but come back quick. 

Monocoat one of best Southern Pine flooring finishes

Our customers created some of the finishes for our pine using the 2-C process from Monocoat. We have customers using 2-3 colors and rumors of one in New England, used 5.  Monocoat bonding technology allows local touch up of damaged areas or scratches, because only the free wood fibers will take the touch up coating. The finished margins next to the scratched or damaged area will not accept new finish. After 10 minutes, just wipe away superfluous oil, furthermore there is no overlapping. Check out the color samples from Monocoat.

Our streamlined process empowers homeowners with a transparent business model designed to create home equity, not commissions. Homeowners can create a floor using a state-of-the-art facility, luxury finish/stain products combined with our long, gorgeous Heart Pine. The amount of money this saves each customer is in direct correlation with their zip code. For instance, Prefinished ¾ solid New Heart Pine in Manhattan or West Palm Beach saves a considerably higher percentage than those  in Louisiana. Not a different price, but a much different value to the homeowner. 

Monocoat is definition of Green finish

A Monocoat Southern Pine floor is perfect choice for the environment, yes real wood floors are green. Real wood floors are a sustainable resource, green floors are real.  Green floors means sustainable forest– One of the many benefits of wood floors, trees are a sustainable, i.e. green flooring choice, despite the marketing attempts to prove otherwise. Under good forest management, trees are replanted before and after they are harvested replacing the timber, also known as tree farming. Not clear cutting, but a oxygen producing sustainable green choice for your next floor.

Rubio Monocoat’s revolutionary molecular bonding technology ensures workability and exemplary quality without the harmful effects or damage to the environment. Rubio Monocoat’s products have no effect on indoor air quality and do not contain:

  • Formaldehyde
  • Ammonia
  • Acetone
  • Solvents
  • Preservatives
  • Odor-masking agents
  • Chemical residuals
  • Heavy metal drying agents:
  • Arsenic
  • Beryllium
  • Chromium
  • Cadmium
  • Nickel
  • Lead

Plant Based Natural Oils

Rubio Monocoat uses a unique molecular bonding technology to adhere to the topmost fibers of the wood it is applied to. Within minutes this technology forms a durable finish that maintains the natural appearance and feel of the wood. Rubio Monocoat’s unique molecular bonding technology also allows for a one-coat finish. This means there is no need to continually apply oil or build up layers of polyurethane like with traditional finishes. 

Rubio Monocoat offers the first and the only oil that is truly a 0% VOC product. Three years before the first VOC legislation was put into effect, Rubio Monocoat had already set forth strict emission norms and committed to producing products completely free of VOCs.

Remember we are a mill to order manufacturer of unfinished and prefinished Southern Pine, including our speciality Heart Pine. Our lead times are normally about two weeks, with Hardwoods and Imports the lead times vary and that is an understatement. 2 days -2 months has bee the answer since COVID. But things are imporving, as White Oak prices continue to fall. (Jason Howard 9/9/2022)
