Flooring for St. Paul's vintage housing
Ramsey County floors are the metro's oldest: original hardwood under generations of carpet, maple that has gone amber with age, and subfloors that have opinions. City condos and bungalows alike hide better floors than their coverings suggest.
A local installer knows when to uncover and when to overlay, preps old subfloors properly, and installs to the standard these houses set. The floor ends up worthy of the woodwork around it.
