Hardwood for Matthews' established neighborhoods
Hardwood flooring in Matthews, NC
Matthews has some of the more established housing stock in the Charlotte area, and a lot of the ranch and two-story homes around Sardis, Windsong, and Crestdale still have their original hardwood underneath carpet or in need of a refinish. We spend as much time matching and restoring existing hardwood in Matthews as we do installing new.

For newer construction and infill closer to downtown, we also install engineered and solid hardwood fresh, matched to whatever finish level the home calls for.
Refinishing original hardwood in Matthews' older homes
A lot of homes built in Matthews from the 1960s through the 80s have solid oak hardwood under carpet or existing finish that's simply worn down over the decades — refinishing it is often more affordable than replacing it and keeps the character of the original house.
We evaluate board thickness and condition during the estimate, since some floors have already been sanded close to their limit and need a different approach, like a fresh stain and finish rather than a full sand.
New hardwood for downtown infill and newer builds
Closer to downtown Matthews, we see more newer construction and infill homes, often on smaller lots with different foundation types than the older ranch homes further out. We'll assess whether solid or engineered hardwood fits the specific foundation before recommending either.
Wide-plank white oak has been a popular request for these newer homes, especially paired with the open floor plans common in Matthews' infill construction.
Matching hardwood after additions or repairs
Additions, kitchen remodels, and water damage repairs all come with the same challenge — matching new hardwood to an existing floor that's aged and been refinished over the years. We bring sample boards to your home so you can see how close a match will look before we commit to an order.
When an exact match isn't realistic, we're upfront about it and can suggest a full refinish or a deliberate transition instead of a patch that will always stand out.
In most cases, yes, though the exact match depends on the age and wear of your current floor. We bring samples to your home during the estimate so you can see how close we can get before ordering anything.
Often, yes, if the boards are solid wood and haven't already been sanded too many times. We'll evaluate the floor during your free estimate and give you an honest recommendation either way.
