Reviving the Hardwood in Inkster's Postwar Homes
Inkster’s neighborhoods, laid out off Michigan Avenue, Middlebelt Road, and Cherry Hill, are full of sturdy post-war brick ranches and bungalows built from the 1940s through the 1960s. Those homes were framed in an era of solid oak, and a lot of it is still there under the carpet. Floors Restored works right here in western Wayne County, so there is no waiting on a crew from the far side of the metro. We refinish and install hardwood, keep existing floors maintained and recoated, and take on concrete in garages and basements, for homeowners, landlords, and agents throughout Inkster.

Uncovering and Refinishing Inkster's Hidden Hardwood
A lot of Inkster’s brick ranches and two-stories from the 1940s through the 1960s have solid oak under the carpet, and most of it is worth saving. We pull back the old flooring, sand the wood down to clean grain, and apply a stain and topcoat that brings it all the way back. Our sanding gear captures the dust so the house stays livable, even in a smaller layout.
Installing New Floors in Inkster
Renovating a kitchen, pulling out worn carpet, or updating a rental property? We install solid and engineered hardwood and help you pick the right look and price point for the home. Everything goes into a written estimate before we place an order.
Affordable Recoats to Extend Floor Life
If the wood is still in good shape but the finish is looking tired, a screen-and-recoat is the best value. It puts down a fresh protective layer, hides light scratches, and postpones the full sanding for years. We will give you an honest answer about whether a recoat is enough for your situation.
Concrete Finishing for Basements and Garages
Inkster’s basements and garages take the same salt-and-freeze punishment as every other Michigan community. We grind, polish, or coat the concrete to create a sealed surface that handles winter abuse and cleans up easily, a practical upgrade that adds real value to the home.
