Lakewood's housing and wood floors

A large share of Lakewood was built in the 1950s and 60s, and many of those brick and frame ranches came with oak floors that were later covered with carpet. Other homes on Green Mountain and in newer pockets have more recent wood or none at all. Hardwood suits all of them and adds real, lasting value.

Because the housing varies so much, we start by looking at what is under your feet. That tells us whether the best path is restoration, a matching patch, or a full new installation.

Lakewood's housing and wood floors

Choosing between solid and engineered

Solid hardwood works over a wood subfloor and can be refinished many times. Engineered hardwood has a layered core that resists movement, which makes it the safer choice for concrete slabs, finished basements, and rooms over radiant heat.

Lakewood sees swings from warm summer afternoons to heating-season air that can fall below 20 percent humidity. Either type works when matched to the room, and we explain the tradeoffs with samples in hand. See our real solid hardwood page for more.

Choosing between solid and engineered

Honest hardwood pricing

Engineered hardwood generally installs for roughly $8 to $15 per square foot, while solid hardwood often runs about $10 to $19, depending on species, width, and finish. Herringbone patterns and exotic woods sit above that, and so does repair work on a damaged subfloor.

Your free in-home measure gives the exact number, itemized so you can see each part of it. Refinishing an existing floor commonly costs well below new wood, and we are glad to quote both so you can compare.

Refinishing Lakewood floors you already own

If your original floors are intact, sanding and refinishing can erase scratches, graying, and years of sun exposure. We repair damaged boards, fill gaps, match stain to the existing color or help you choose a new one, and apply a protective finish.

Our hardwood refinishing page explains the steps. If you are not sure what is under your carpet, we can look at the estimate visit and tell you honestly whether it is worth saving.

How a job unfolds

Our mobile design showroom arrives at your door with samples. We measure, talk through your style and budget, and leave a written quote that day. If you decide to go ahead, we schedule a start that suits your family.

On install day we move furniture, take out the old flooring, prep the subfloor, install, add trim, and clean up thoroughly. Ten days or so afterward we visit to confirm the floor is doing well.

What sets Floor Crafters apart

Living with wood in a dry climate

Expect your boards to shift a little with the seasons. Winter often brings slight gaps that close in spring, and a humidifier keeps the change gentle. Window shades during peak sun slow fading in south-facing rooms.

Clean with a product made for wood floors, avoid steam mops, and wipe spills promptly. Felt pads under furniture and mats at the door protect the finish from grit.
