BUILT FOR THE GOLD COAST

Flooring Solutions for Historic Homes

Lakewood is defined by its 1920s architecture and lakefront location. These factors create a unique environment that requires expert attention to ensure your floors last for the next generation.

Our Approach to Lakewood Flooring

Restoring "Cleveland Doubles"

Over 90% of Lakewood homes were built before 1940, often featuring original old-growth white oak or Douglas fir. We specialize in Heritage Restoration, moving away from gray stains to the trending "Warm Honey" and "Cinnamon" tones that highlight the wood's natural history.

Fixing the "Lakewood Lean"

Many homes here sit on shale and clay, leading to settling known locally as the "Lakewood Lean." This causes floors to gap and squeak.

Handling Lake Humidity

The "Gold Coast" and lakefront neighborhoods experience extreme atmospheric moisture. For kitchens and bathrooms, we recommend High-End LVP. It mimics the look of hardwood but won't swell or warp when the lake winds blow moisture into your home.
SUSTAINABILITY AND CHARACTER

We offer specialized services for the "Urban Traditionalist" who values sustainability, pet-friendly durability, and historical character.
 

Hardwood Installation

We install premium hardwood floors that respect the architectural integrity of your Pre-War Colonial or Tudor. We focus on matching the character of Lakewood’s historic housing stock while ensuring a stable, long-lasting installation.
 

Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)

Perfect for the "Gold Coast" lifestyle. LVP is the ideal choice for kitchens and bathrooms where lake humidity is a concern. It is 100% waterproof and mimics the look of real wood, providing a durable solution that fits the aesthetic of a vintage home.
 

Floor Refinishing

This is our specialty in Lakewood. We sand and refinish original old-growth floors to "tell a story." We offer Low-VOC finishes and eco-friendly stains to meet the sustainability values of local homeowners, bringing your 1920s floors back to life.
 

Floor Maintenance (Buff and Coat)

Lakewood is one of the most dog-populated cities in Ohio. Our maintenance service adds a scratch-resistant topcoat to your existing floors, protecting them from pet claws and daily wear without the need for a full sanding.
 

Commercial Flooring

We support the local economy by providing durable commercial flooring for businesses in Lakewood. We install floors designed to handle foot traffic while maintaining the unique charm of the city.

Lakewood FAQ

Can you fix the squeaks caused by the "Lakewood Lean"?

Yes. We specialize in Expert Subfloor Preparation. Before installing new flooring, we assess and prep the subfloor to address the settling and unevenness often found in Lakewood's older foundations, which helps reduce squeaks and gaps.


Should I refinish the old floors in my 1920s home?

Absolutely. Most Lakewood homes feature original old-growth white oak or Douglas fir. We highly recommend Heritage Restoration over replacement. We can sand and stain these floors in modern "Warm Honey" tones to restore their value and character.


What is the best flooring for a home with dogs?

Lakewood is very dog-friendly, so we recommend a floor with a scratch-resistant topcoat. For maximum durability, Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) is waterproof and resists claw marks. If you prefer wood, a matte finish helps hide scratches better than high gloss.
 

How do I handle humidity if I live near the lake?

For areas like kitchens and bathrooms that see high moisture from the lake, we recommend Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP). It is waterproof and won't swell or warp like solid wood can in extreme humidity.

 

Do you service the Clifton Lagoons area?

Yes, we provide high-end, custom flooring services for the exclusive properties in the Clifton Lagoons and Clifton Park areas.
