Old floors in an old river town
Mifflintown is one of the older towns along the Juniata, and many houses in the borough are well over a hundred years old. Lots of those homes still have their original hardwood. Sometimes it's hidden under carpet, and sometimes it's under layers of worn-out finish.
Wood like that is often worth saving. Hardwood Floor Refinishing sands the floor down to fresh wood and puts a new finish on it. Floor Staining lets you change the color while we're at it. We use both water-based and oil-based finishes, picked to suit your style, your needs and the character of your home.
Seasonal gaps and cupping
Central Pennsylvania winters are dry once the heat comes on, and the summers are humid. Wood floors shrink and swell with those changes. In older Mifflintown homes, that can mean gaps between boards in winter, or edges that cup up in the damp months.
Which service fits a floor like that depends on the condition of the wood. If the finish is just dull and the boards are sound, Clean and Recoat may be enough. If it's worn through or damaged, it may need Hardwood Floor Refinishing or Hardwood Floor Repair. If you're seeing gaps or cupping, give us a call.
Repairs for homes near the Juniata
Some low-lying parts of Mifflintown sit along the Juniata River, which has flooded in the past. Water and wood don't mix well, so a damaged section of floor is a real concern in those homes.
We do Hardwood Floor Repair. When we repair a section or extend an existing floor, we match the color and finish so the change looks natural. We also do Hardwood Floor Installation for new floors, and we've started installing LVP flooring too.
Keeping your home livable while we work
Our professional vacuum system captures up to 99% of the dust, so your home stays clean and livable while we work. We move the appliances and furniture, and take up toilets and trim when needed, so you don't have to lift a finger.
We also do Staircase Refinishing.
