Hardwood Floor Renewal & Restoration in Charleston, SC

Bringing Charleston's historic floors back to life. Specializing in heart pine, Douglas fir, and century-old hardwoods found in downtown Charleston's most treasured homes.

Charleston's Historic Floor Specialists

Charleston's historic homes contain some of the most beautiful original hardwood floors in the country — heart pine, Douglas fir, longleaf pine floors that are 100+ years old and irreplaceable. We've spent 9 years developing the expertise to restore these floors rather than replace them. Every restoration project begins with a deep assessment of the wood's condition, species, and history — because these floors deserve to be preserved.

Our Restoration Process

1

Floor Assessment

We identify species, assess condition, locate repairs needed, and develop a restoration plan that preserves the floor's character.

2

Repairs & Prep

Board replacement, gap filling, nail hole repair, and subfloor stabilization before any sanding begins.

3

Careful Sanding

Historic floors require lighter sanding passes to preserve thickness. We use specialized equipment for delicate restoration work.

4

Waterborne Finish

Loba or Bona waterborne finish chosen for low VOC and compatibility with older wood species. 3 coats for lasting protection.
