Refinishing downtown Charleston's original floors
Many single houses South of Broad and around the French Quarter still have their original heart pine or hardwood underneath - sometimes under carpet, sometimes just under decades of wear. Refinishing brings it back: sanding down to bare wood, repairing damaged or gapped boards, and reapplying stain and finish that honors the home's age instead of fighting it.
We work carefully in historic-district homes, respecting original trim, thresholds and details while we're in the space - refinishing doesn't have to mean disrupting the character that makes these homes worth preserving.

New hardwood for West Ashley and beyond
Outside the historic core, in neighborhoods across West Ashley and the rest of the city, we install plenty of new solid and engineered hardwood in homes that never had it - or are replacing carpet and older flooring. Engineered hardwood is often the better call in Charleston's humidity, since its stable core resists the expansion and contraction solid wood is more prone to.
We'll walk you through which option - solid or engineered - fits your specific room and moisture conditions during your free estimate, with honest guidance rather than a push toward whichever is more expensive.

What hardwood costs in Charleston
Installed solid hardwood in the Charleston area generally runs $8-14 per square foot; engineered hardwood typically runs $6-11 installed. Refinishing existing hardwood is usually more affordable, often $3-6 per square foot, though historic homes with significant board damage or multiple layers of old finish can run higher.
We measure every job in person, whether downtown or in West Ashley, and provide a firm written quote - never a phone estimate - backed by our 5% price-beat guarantee on comparable written bids.

Our installation and refinishing process
For refinishing, we sand in controlled stages using dust-containment equipment (especially important in older, occupied homes), repair damaged boards as we go, then apply stain and topcoat. For new installs, we start with a free measurement and demolition and prep of any existing flooring.
From there, boards are acclimated to your home's humidity before installation, then laid tight and square with matching trim and transitions at doorways and adjoining rooms.

Stairs and repairs
Charleston's older homes often have original hardwood stairs that need matching new treads or refinishing to blend with a new floor - our hardwood stairs service handles both. For isolated damage - a water stain, a squeaky board, storm-related warping - a targeted repair can often fix a section without touching the rest of the room.
If you're comparing real solid hardwood against engineered hardwood for a specific space, those pages go deeper on the tradeoffs between the two.

Why Charleston homeowners choose us
We've been refinishing and installing hardwood across this city since 1995, which means we've seen the particular quirks of Charleston's historic housing stock up close - what's salvageable, what needs replacing, and how to work around a home's age without damaging its character. Every job carries our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
If a room's moisture or flood risk makes hardwood a questionable fit, we'll say so and point you toward LVP instead - our reputation matters more to us than a single sale.

Yes - it's some of our most common work in the historic district. We sand, repair and refinish original heart pine and hardwood to bring it back to life.
For ground-level rooms with real flood risk, we'll usually recommend waterproof LVP instead. Hardwood works well on upper floors or in areas without standing-water risk.
We work carefully with existing trim and details in historic homes; any exterior or structural historic-district approvals are the homeowner's responsibility, but our refinishing work respects the home's original character.
Most single rooms take two to three days including drying time between coats; whole-home refinishing can take a week or more.
