Older homes near downtown, newer ones all around
New Richmond has two kinds of floors. The older homes near downtown often have original hardwood, sometimes hidden under carpet for decades. Those floors are usually thick, solid boards with plenty of life left, and a refinish brings them back.
The newer neighborhoods around town are more likely to have hardwood in the kitchen and entry and carpet everywhere else. There we get asked to refinish what’s there, extend the hardwood into more rooms, or put vinyl plank in a basement.
Found hardwood under the carpet?
It happens a lot in New Richmond’s older houses. If you’ve pulled back a corner and found wood, don’t assume it’s ruined because it looks rough. Staple holes, paint drips and a dull gray surface are all normal, and most of it sands out.
We’ll come look at it for free and tell you honestly whether it’s worth refinishing.
