Crawlspace conditions
Damp crawlspaces cause cupping and movement. Vapor control and ventilation are part of a scope that lasts.
Flooring projects in Grant Park
Grant Park is bungalow and renovation country next to the zoo and the BeltLine. Original hardwood is common, and so are the subfloor problems that come with a hundred-year-old crawlspace.
Projects here are usually refinishing and repair rather than full replacement, and the honest scope depends on what the framing looks like underneath.
Building types and what that means
1910s to 1930s bungalows, renovated homes and a limited number of newer builds.
Patch and repair before finish
Where a wall came out or an addition was added, patching with matching species and width comes before the sanding pass.
Water events
Older plumbing and roof leaks show up as stained or buckled boards. Affected material is assessed rather than sanded over.
Porch and sunroom transitions
Screened porches and unconditioned sunrooms need a product and transition that acknowledge the temperature swing.
Common questions
My floors cupped after a leak. Can they be saved?
Sometimes, if the boards dry and are sanded after moisture equalizes. Warped or delaminated boards are replaced, and the estimate states which applies.
Do you repair individual boards or replace the room?
Where species and width can be matched, individual boards are replaced and blended during finishing. Availability of a match decides the alternative.
