Bainbridge & Chagrin Falls FAQ
What is the best flooring for the humidity in Chagrin Valley?
Due to the "Valley Effect," we highly recommend high-quality Engineered Hardwood. Its layered construction makes it much more stable than solid wood in humid conditions, preventing cupping and warping.
Can you refinish the original floors in my historic Chagrin Falls home?
Yes, this is a specialty of ours. We use preservation-focused techniques to sand and refinish original 19th-century floors, ensuring we maintain the historic character and value of your home.
My Bainbridge home was built in the 1980s. Can you update the yellow oak floors?
Absolutely. This is a very common request in neighborhoods like Tanglewood. We can either sand and stain the existing floors to a more modern tone or replace them entirely with trending wide-plank engineered hardwood.
How do you handle the clay soil movement in Bainbridge?
We use specific installation methods, including moisture barriers and proper expansion gaps, to allow the floor to "breathe" without separating. This is critical for homes built on the shifting clay soils of the watershed.
Do you offer dustless refinishing?
Yes. We use modern dust containment systems to keep your home clean and safe during the refinishing process. This is especially important for inhabited homes with valuable furnishings.
