Flooring done right in older Greater Boston homes
Old Somerville floors
Triple-deckers and 1900s homes have out-of-level joists, patched subfloors and layers of old flooring. We check what's underneath before we price, so fewer numbers change.
The right floor for the room
Hardwood for living spaces, plank with a vapor barrier for basements, tile with an uncoupling membrane for baths and entries.
Stairs and trim included
A new floor looks unfinished next to worn stairs and old baseboards. We can do the treads, risers and trim in the same job.

Frequently asked questions
Do you refinish existing hardwood floors?
Yes. We sand and refinish hardwood, including the original oak and maple floors common in Somerville and Cambridge homes, and replace damaged boards so the patch blends in.
Can you put new flooring in a basement?
Yes. Basements need a floor that tolerates moisture, usually luxury vinyl or engineered plank over the right underlayment or vapor barrier. We check the slab for moisture first.
Do I need a permit for new flooring in Massachusetts?
Usually not for replacing finish flooring alone. A permit is needed when the job includes structural repairs to joists or subfloor framing, or when it's part of a larger renovation. We tell you before the job starts.
How fast can I get a flooring price?
After a free walkthrough you get a written, line-item proposal, usually within 48 hours.
