Preserving the Old-Growth Hardwood in Clarkston's Historic Homes
The Village of Clarkston is small, walkable, and full of older homes with real craftsmanship, 19th-century houses in the downtown historic district along Main Street, homes tucked near Deer Lake, and wooded streets over by Pine Knob. Many sit on floors of solid, old-growth hardwood well worth saving. Floors Restored appreciates that character and knows how to bring it back. We refinish and install hardwood, keep existing floors maintained and recoated, and handle concrete in garages and basements, for homeowners, landlords, and agents throughout the village.

How We Care for Clarkston Floors
Restoring Old-Growth Hardwood
Clarkston’s 19th-century homes often sit on dense, old-growth oak and maple you simply cannot buy today. We sand carefully, address damaged and worn boards, and reseal with a stain and topcoat chosen to honor the age of the house. Our dust-contained sanding keeps a historic home clean, and we treat those irreplaceable floors with the caution they deserve.
New Hardwood Installation
Renovating a historic home or finishing a place near Deer Lake or Pine Knob? We install solid and engineered hardwood and help you choose species, plank width, and finish that sit right next to the character Clarkston homes are known for. You will see the options and the price before a single board is ordered.
Recoats & Gentle Maintenance
A screen-and-recoat every couple of years lays down fresh protection and delays the full sanding that older, irreplaceable floors can only take so many times. On a historic Clarkston home it is the gentlest way to protect original wood, and we will tell you honestly when a recoat is all you need.
Concrete Grinding, Polishing & Coatings
For the basements, workshops, and garages behind Clarkston’s homes, we grind and polish concrete or lay a coating that shrugs off road salt, oil, and Michigan winters. It is a clean, durable upgrade that turns a dusty slab into a surface you can sweep clean in seconds.

Why Clarkston Homeowners Trust Us
- We respect old homes. Clarkston’s historic floors deserve a careful hand, and you get one, working with owner Joshua Lewis directly, not 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 slips between a salesperson and a subcontractor.
- Reviews you can read first. Clarkston homeowners keep naming the same things: careful work on original floors, straight pricing, and a finish that still looks right years later.
- Finishes built for Michigan seasons. We pick coatings that take road salt, slush, humid summers, and dry, heated winters in stride, so the old-growth boards in a Clarkston home stay tight and quiet all year.

Hardwood Flooring FAQs
How much does hardwood floor refinishing cost in the Village of Clarkston?

Historic Clarkston homes sometimes need extra care, so we always give you a full written estimate up front, itemized with no surprise charges. Call (248) 842-8686 for a free quote.
Can you refinish the historic hardwood floors in an older Clarkston home?
Usually, yes, and it is often the best thing you can do for them. The old-growth hardwood in many Village of Clarkston homes can be sanded and refinished several times over its life, and it is worth preserving rather than replacing. We check the thickness and condition first, then give you an honest read on the right approach.
How long does a refinishing project take, and how disruptive is it?
Most refinishing projects take two to four days, depending on how many rooms are involved and how long your finish needs to cure; delicate historic floors can take a little longer to do right. Our sanding is dust-contained, so you can usually stay in the home, and we map out the schedule up front.
