Wood Floor Installation & Refinishing in Ardsley Park, GA
Ardsley Park is one of Savannah's most well-preserved early 20th-century neighborhoods — and underneath a lot of its Craftsman bungalows and Colonial Revival homes are floors that tell the same story. Original heart pine. Wide plank hardwood that's been there since the 1920s. Sometimes buried under carpet somebody put down decades ago and forgot about.
If you own a home in Ardsley Park, there's a good chance your floors are worth more than you think.
Hardwood Floor Restoration for Ardsley Park Homes
The older homes in Ardsley Park weren't built with builder-grade materials. The original wood floors in most of these houses — typically heart pine or old-growth fir — are denser and more durable than anything you can buy new today. The challenge is that decades of use, renovations, and well-meaning but misguided maintenance decisions have left a lot of them looking worse than they actually are.
We've pulled up carpet in Ardsley Park homes and found heart pine underneath that cleaned up beautifully. We've refinished floors that homeowners assumed were beyond saving — floors that looked almost black from old finish buildup and surface grime — and restored them to a warm amber color that stopped people in their tracks.
Heart Pine Refinishing in Ardsley Park
Heart pine is the defining floor of Savannah's historic neighborhoods, and Ardsley Park has plenty of it. Properly refinished, original heart pine has a warmth and density that no modern flooring can replicate. We use finishing products and methods that enhance its natural amber tone rather than bury it — and we know how to sand it without losing the character that makes it worth keeping.
Removing Carpet to Restore Original Hardwood
A surprising number of Ardsley Park homes still have original hardwood underneath carpet that was installed years ago. If you're not sure what's beneath your carpet, it's worth finding out before you make any decisions about new flooring. We've seen more than a few homeowners save themselves the cost of a full installation by uncovering what was already there.
Wood Floor Installation in Ardsley Park
For Ardsley Park homes that need new flooring — whether it's a room that's been damaged beyond repair, an addition, or a space that never had hardwood to begin with — we install wood floors that complement the age and character of the home.
That usually means solid hardwood in species and widths that fit the scale of older Craftsman and Colonial architecture. We match the installation to what's appropriate for the home, not just what's convenient.
If you're in Ardsley Park and want an honest assessment of your floors — what's there, what condition it's in, and what the best path forward looks like — give us a call. We'll come out and take a look.
