Three kinds of house, three ways to floor them

Most homes in our area fall into one of three eras. Each was built with its own idea of a floor, and the floors that look most at home follow that idea.

Style match

Pick the age of your house. The samples change to the woods, patterns and tones that usually sit well in it, with the trim to match.

  • Narrow white oak strip

    Natural or lightly ambered finish, close to what many of these houses had from the start.

    Hardwood floors

  • Chevron in oak

    A patterned field for a dining room or front hall, framed by a plain border.

    Hardwood floors

  • Original oak, refinished

    Sanded back and sealed in a warm satin, so the old boards look cared for again.

    Floor refinishing

Century homes: what tends to suit

  • Refinishing the original oak strip
  • New solid oak in narrow strips
  • A chevron field in a dining room or hall
  • Carpet on the stairs with matching trim

Trim: Tall baseboard with a cap and shoe moulding, matched to the existing stain or paint.

Use this in my request

Samples are drawn to show pattern and tone. We bring real boards, tiles and carpet to the visit.

Six kinds of floor work

Most projects use two or three of these together. Each has its own page with what is included, how the days go and how to look after the floor.

How a project runs

Four steps from the first call to the last walk through. Nothing is booked until you have the scope in writing.

  1. A visit to the house

    We come out during office hours, walk the rooms with you, measure and look at the floor that is there now, including what is under it if we can see.

  2. A written estimate

    You get the scope in writing: rooms, floor, trim, preparation and the order of work, so you can decide without any pressure.

  3. Install days

    We protect the path through the house, move the larger furniture, lift the old covering and lay the new floor. Each evening the rooms are left tidy.

  4. A walk through

    When we finish, we walk the rooms together, check every edge and doorway, and leave notes on looking after the floor you chose.

Close to home

We work in homes across Lorain County and nearby Cuyahoga County communities. The houses here span more than a century, from craftsman foursquares near the old town centers to brick ranches and newer two story colonials on wider lots.

That range is the reason we talk about house style first. A floor that looks right in one era can feel out of place in another, and a few minutes of thinking about the house saves a lot of second guessing later.

We answer the phone during office hours and reply to messages the same way. You can also send the request form at any time, and we pick it up on the next working day.
