What's Happening in Savannah | 1/13

If you live in an older Savannah home, updating hardwood floors isn’t always as simple as sanding and sealing. Many historic homes have original subfloors, uneven framing, or previous repairs that affect what’s actually possible, and what makes sense long term.

One thing homeowners are often surprised by is timing. Cooler months are often ideal for refinishing projects since humidity levels are more stable, which helps finishes cure properly. It’s also a popular time to plan projects ahead of spring renovations, when schedules fill up fast.

Another common question is whether floors should be refinished or replaced. In many cases, older hardwood can be restored beautifully, but it depends on thickness, past sanding, and how the home has settled over time. A quick evaluation can save homeowners from unnecessary work, or unexpected costs later.

This is something the team at Olde Savannah Hardwood Flooring deals with regularly, especially in historic and older homes around Savannah. They specialize in custom installs and refinishing projects that take those details into account.
