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.
OUR SERVICES
Floor Services for Inkster Homeowners
Refinishing Solid Oak
Under the carpet in many Inkster ranches and bungalows is real oak that just needs attention. We sand out the wear, gray traffic lanes, and old finish, then rebuild the color and a durable topcoat coat by coat. Our sanding is dust-contained, so a postwar home off Michigan Avenue or Cherry Hill stays livable while we work.
New Hardwood Installation
Redoing a room, finishing a basement, or replacing carpet for good? We install solid and engineered hardwood and walk you through species, plank width, and finish so the new floor fits your Inkster home, 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 costlier full sanding for years. On an Inkster ranch it is the easiest, most affordable way to protect the hardwood you have, and we will tell you honestly whether a recoat is enough or a full sand is due.
Concrete Grinding, Polishing & Coatings
For the garages, basements, and workshops around Inkster, we grind and polish concrete or lay a coating that shrugs off road salt, oil, and slush. It is a tough, low-maintenance upgrade that turns a dusty slab into a surface you can sweep clean in seconds.

Hardwood Flooring FAQs
How much does hardwood floor refinishing cost in Inkster?
It comes down to how much floor you have, the shape the wood is in, the stain and finish you pick, and how many rooms are part of the job. You get a full written estimate before any work begins, itemized with no surprise charges. Call (248) 842-8686 for a free quote on your Inkster home.
Could there be solid wood under my old carpet?
More often than people expect. Plenty of Inkster homes built from the 1940s onward have solid oak sitting beneath the old carpet. We peel back a corner, look at the thickness and condition, and give you an honest read on whether refinishing or replacing makes more sense.
How long will my project take?
Most Inkster projects come together over a few days, from the opening sanding pass to the final coat, depending on the size of the space and how long the finish needs to cure. Our sanding is dust-contained, so you can usually stay in the home; we lay out a clear timeline up front and keep you posted.
Are you insured and based locally?
Yes. Floors Restored LLC is a locally owned company serving Inkster and the surrounding western Wayne County communities, fully insured, and you work directly with owner Joshua Lewis from the estimate through the final coat.
