Flooring old Minneapolis homes with respect
Hennepin County's old houses hold flooring history, original maple and oak under carpet, character-grade boards in back rooms, and floors that slope with a century of settling. New flooring here has to negotiate with old structure.
An installer experienced in old homes levels what settling left behind and chooses materials that suit the house's age. Sometimes the best answer is uncovering and finishing what was always there; a good local pro tells you which project you actually have.
