SPECIALTY WORK

Historic Homes & High-Value Properties

Montgomery County is home to some of the most beautiful historic properties in Maryland — Chevy Chase, Kensington, and downtown Rockville neighborhoods where the original hardwood floors are 80, 100, even 120 years old. These floors require a completely different level of care.

We understand the permitting process in historic districts. We know how to work with original wood species — thin-cut Douglas fir, heart pine, antique white oak — that respond differently to sanding and finishing than modern hardwood.

For homes in the $800K–$2M+ range, we bring the same personal guarantee and owner oversight that these properties deserve.

Historic Home Flooring Considerations

  • Original wood species identification before any sanding
  • Thin-floor assessment — we measure before committing
  • Historic district permit coordination and compliance
  • Period-appropriate stain colors and finish options
  • Patch & fill with matching vintage wood when available
  • Gentle sanding protocols for 1/2″ and thinner floors
  • Documentation for insurance and preservation records
