Uncovering Original Hardwood in Mill-Era Homes
A lot of the houses built during Gastonia's textile-mill years have narrow-plank hardwood underneath layers of old flooring. We regularly pull up carpet or linoleum in these homes and find floors that just need sanding and a fresh finish.
These older floors were built to last, and in our experience, most of them are worth restoring rather than replacing, even after decades of neglect.
Repairing Damage in Older Housing Stock
Homes of this age sometimes come with water damage, squeaky boards, or gaps that have opened up over the years. We repair these issues as part of the refinishing process, replacing individual boards where needed rather than starting from scratch.
We'll be upfront during the estimate about what's fixable and what isn't, so there are no surprises once work begins.
New Hardwood for Renovations and Additions
As parts of Gastonia see renovation and reinvestment, we're also installing new hardwood in remodeled kitchens, additions, and full-home updates, not just refinishing what's already there.
For homeowners on a tighter renovation budget, we'll talk through where new hardwood makes the most sense versus where a more affordable option like luxury vinyl plank might stretch the budget further.

Almost always. These older homes tend to have solid, well-built hardwood underneath, and refinishing is usually far more affordable than replacing it.
We can often repair damaged sections by replacing individual boards and blending them into the refinish, rather than replacing the whole floor.
