Flooring installation in Oak Forest
Oak Forest is a northwest Houston neighborhood of 1940s to 1960s ranch homes on large, shaded lots. Streets like Oak Forest Drive and Ella Boulevard have homes that have been updated many times, and nearly every owner has a floor story to tell, from original hardwood to layers of old vinyl.
Many Oak Forest houses are pier-and-beam, which means a crawlspace under the floor. Hardwood from that era is often still there under carpet and can be refinished. Others have a slab where moisture and humidity limit the options. We test moisture and look at the crawlspace before we recommend a floor.
Hurricane Harvey in 2017 flooded parts of Oak Forest and nearby streets. If your floors were wet before, we check the subfloor for rot and dry it before anything new goes on. Waterproof vinyl plank and tile are popular for homes with a flood history.
We install floors, trim and transitions, and remove old material. You get a written price with dates. Both spouses sign on a homestead, and we use lead-safe practices on homes built before 1978.

Can I refinish the old hardwood in my Oak Forest house?
Often yes. If the boards are thick enough and not water damaged, refinishing costs less than new flooring.
