Absolutely. Many older urban homes have beautiful oak, maple, or birch hardwood hidden under layers of carpet or linoleum. Professional sanding, staining, and finishing can restore these floors to stunning condition. We assess the wood thickness first — most original hardwoods can be refinished 2–3 times.

Foundation settling over decades is the most common cause. Before installing new flooring, we level the subfloor using self-leveling compound or plywood underlayment. This prevents squeaks, gaps, and uneven wear in the new flooring — an essential step that many contractors skip.

Engineered hardwood and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) are excellent choices for older homes because they handle minor subfloor irregularities better than solid hardwood. Both can be installed as floating floors, minimizing disruption to the existing structure.
