Flooring Installation in Kenmore, NY

Kenmore's pre-WWII architecture (median build year 1938) features valuable original details. We carefully remove and preserve baseboards, quarter-round, and hardwood floors for refinishing. Many Victorians have parquet or border inlays worth saving. We work around leaded glass, protect original woodwork, and match stain colors. Since Kenmore is a designated Great Neighborhood, preserving architectural character is critical to property values.

Kenmore's two-family homes (30%) need durable, low-maintenance flooring for rental units. We recommend waterproof LVP - it handles tenant turnover, resists damage, and looks upscale. For owner-occupied units, hardwood increases value. We can create cohesive aesthetics across units while using more budget-friendly materials in rentals. Soundproofing between floors is important in dense Kenmore - we add acoustic underlayment to reduce noise transfer.

Kenmore's historic homes often have fragile lath-and-plaster. We protect walls during flooring demolition, use dust barriers, and carefully remove baseboards without damaging plaster. For homes with horsehair plaster or crumbling walls, we suggest drywall replacement in conjunction with flooring updates. Since renovations sell fast in Kenmore (15 days vs. 53 national average), quality work that preserves historic character adds significant value.
