Hardwood flooring in Sullivan's Island, SC

Sullivan's Island has more original hardwood and heart pine per square mile than almost anywhere else in our service area, and most of it is worth saving. Decades of salt air and sun typically dull the finish long before the wood itself is compromised.

We sand back to bare wood, repair individual boards where needed, and reseal with a finish chosen for the island's humidity and light - bringing century-old floors back without replacing character that can't be bought new.

Installed hardwood here typically runs $9-16 per square foot depending on species and solid versus engineered; refinishing existing hardwood runs $4-7 per square foot and is often the smarter move for original floors in good structural shape.

We give you an exact number after seeing the home in person - historic houses sometimes need extra subfloor prep that a phone quote could never account for.

A moisture barrier under every hardwood install and a satin or matte finish that hides fine scratching go a long way toward keeping hardwood looking good near the ocean.

For entries and mudrooms that take the brunt of sand and salt spray, we'll often recommend luxury vinyl plank instead and keep hardwood in the rooms it can really shine.
