Local Knowledge
Hardwood Floors in Chester's Homes
Chester's residential neighborhoods were built for an industrial workforce, shipyards, Sun Oil and the Ford plant, and the housing reflects that era. Rowhouses and twins across the West End, Sun Village and the area around Widener University date largely from 1900 through 1940 and carry 2 1/4" oak downstairs with narrower pine above. A significant share has been rental for decades, which produces floors with heavy wear but sound structure, since the wood itself rarely fails. As Chester sees reinvestment, owners restoring these houses find that the flooring is usually the cheapest good material in the building. Stripping accumulated coatings rather than sanding preserves what thickness remains after a century.

Common Questions
FAQ — Floor Refinishing in Chester
Are century-old rowhouse floors in Chester worth restoring?
Usually they are the best material in the house. Oak from that era is dense and rarely fails structurally, so what looks like ruined flooring is generally ruined finish over sound wood.
Do you work with investors renovating Chester properties?
Yes. Single-day completion matters on a renovation schedule, and our pricing on a strip and recoat is well below replacement cost for flooring that does not need replacing.
How far is Chester from your base?
About fifteen miles up I-95 from Wilmington. There is no cross-border surcharge for Delaware County work.
