Restoring the Oak Under Dearborn Heights' Carpet
Dearborn Heights was built largely during the postwar boom, and it shows in the housing, brick ranches north of Ford Road and tidy bungalows in the south end near Warren Avenue. In home after home, solid oak sits quietly under decades of carpet, waiting to be uncovered. Floors Restored knows those floors well. We refinish and install hardwood, keep existing floors maintained and recoated, and handle concrete in garages and basements, for owners, landlords, and agents across both the north and south sides of the city.
OUR SERVICES
The Floor Work Dearborn Heights Homes Need
Uncovering & Refinishing Oak
Plenty of Dearborn Heights homes still have solid oak sitting under decades-old carpet, especially the 1950s and ’60s brick ranches and bungalows. We pull the carpet, sand out the wear, gray traffic lanes, and pet stains, then rebuild the color and a hard-wearing topcoat coat by coat. Our sanding is dust-contained, so the house stays livable start to finish.
New Hardwood Installation
Finishing a basement, opening up a kitchen, or done with carpet for good? We install solid and engineered hardwood and match species, plank width, and finish to the postwar character these Dearborn Heights homes carry, then set every board tight. You will see the options and the price before anything is ordered.
Recoats & Maintenance
A screen-and-recoat every couple of years lays down fresh protection and holds off the pricier full sanding for years. On a Dearborn Heights ranch it is the most affordable way to keep oak floors looking sharp, and we will set an easy rhythm and tell you honestly when a recoat is enough.
Concrete Grinding, Polishing & Coatings
Garage and basement concrete on both sides of town takes salt, damp, and Michigan winters. We grind it flat and either polish it or lay a coating that wipes clean and shrugs off road salt, oil, and slush, a low-maintenance upgrade that fits the attached garages common across Dearborn Heights.

Hardwood Flooring FAQs
How much does hardwood floor refinishing cost in Dearborn Heights?
It comes down to how much floor you have, the shape the boards are in, the stain and finish you choose, and how many rooms are involved. You get a full written estimate up front, itemized with no surprise charges. Call (248) 842-8686 for a free quote on your Dearborn Heights home.
Can you refinish the old oak floors in a 1950s Dearborn Heights home?
Usually, yes. Many Dearborn Heights homes from the 1950s and ’60s have solid oak under the carpet, and solid hardwood can be sanded and refinished several times over its life. We check the thickness and condition first, then give you an honest read on whether refinishing or replacing makes more sense.
How long does a refinishing project take, and how disruptive is it?
Most refinishing jobs run two to four days, depending on the number of rooms and how long your finish needs to cure. Our sanding is dust-contained, so you can usually stay in the house; we map out which rooms are off-limits and when, up front, to keep the disruption short.
