Hardwood Floor Refinishing for Clawson's Classic Bungalows
Clawson packs a lot of character into a small footprint, and much of it is underfoot. The bungalows built here in the 1920s through the ’50s, along with the brick homes fanning out toward Clawson City Park and Rochester Road, were laid over solid oak that still cleans up beautifully once the old carpet comes off. Floors Restored works right in town, so there is no waiting on a crew from the far side of Oakland County. We refinish and install hardwood, keep existing floors on a simple maintenance plan, and handle concrete work in the garage and basement, for homeowners, landlords, and agents across Clawson.
OUR SERVICES
How We Help Clawson Homeowners With Their Floors
Bringing Old Oak Back to Life
Under the carpet in most Clawson bungalows is narrow-strip oak from the 1920s through the ’50s, and it almost always cleans up well. We screen off the worn finish, lift out the gray traffic paths, pet stains, and cupping, then rebuild the color and a hard topcoat coat by coat. Our sanding is dust-contained, so even a compact home stays livable while the work runs.
New Floors, Installed to Fit
Bumping out the kitchen or finally pulling the carpet from a back bedroom? We install solid and engineered hardwood and match the plank width and species to what these older Clawson homes already have, so a new floor reads as original rather than an add-on. You will see the options and the price before a single board is ordered.
Keeping Your Finish Ahead of the Wear
On a compact Clawson floor, a light screen-and-recoat every couple of years is the cheapest way to stay ahead of wear, refreshing the top layer before scratches ever reach the wood. We will tell you straight whether you need a quick recoat or a full sand, and set an easy rhythm so you never end up paying for the big job before its time.
Concrete Work for Garages and Basements
Clawson’s older streets are lined with detached garages and full basements, and the bare concrete in them takes a beating from salt and damp. We grind it flat and either polish it up or lay a coating that wipes clean and shrugs off road salt, oil, and spring melt, a hard-wearing upgrade that usually costs less than people expect.

Why Clawson Neighbors Keep Calling Us Back
A shop-based local, not a franchise. Floors Restored works right around Clawson and the rest of southern Oakland County, so scheduling is quick and you deal with owner Joshua Lewis instead of a call center.
The same hands on every step. Josh writes the estimate, runs the sanding and finishing himself, and walks the finished floor with you, so nothing falls between a salesperson and a subcontractor.
Reviews you can read first. Homeowners around Clawson keep pointing to the same things: straight pricing, a tidy work site, and a finish that still looks right years later.
Finishes chosen for Michigan swings. We pick coatings that take road salt, humid summers, and dry, heated winters in stride, so boards in a Clawson bungalow stay tight and quiet instead of gapping each February.
Ready When You Are
Tell us a little about your floors and we will come out, take a look, and put together a clear, itemized quote, with no pressure and nothing hidden in the fine print. Proud to serve Clawson and the surrounding Oakland County communities.
Hardwood Flooring FAQs
How much does hardwood floor refinishing cost in Clawson?
It comes down to how much floor you have, the shape the boards are in, the stain and finish you pick, and how many rooms are involved. Before anyone turns on a sander you get a full written estimate with nothing hidden, and for a smaller Clawson bungalow the number is often friendlier than people expect. Call (248) 842-8686 for a free quote on your Clawson project.
Is there real hardwood hiding under my old carpet?
More often than people expect. A lot of Clawson bungalows from the 1920s through the ’50s were built over solid oak that was later carpeted as styles changed. We peel back a corner and check during the estimate walkthrough at no charge. If there is real wood down there, it is almost always worth saving.
How many days will the project take?
Most Clawson projects wrap up in two to four working days, depending on the square footage, how much repair the boards need, and whether you want a custom stain. You can walk on the floors the same day we finish with a water-based topcoat, or the next morning with an oil-modified one. We lay out the full timeline before work starts.
Are you licensed, insured, and local?
Yes. Floors Restored LLC carries full liability and workers comp coverage, and we have been licensed to work across Michigan for over fifteen years. Our shop is right here in the area, so we are easy to reach before, during, and long after the project.
