How we approach Royal Oak projects.
The hardwood in Royal Oak's postwar houses is usually solid oak worth saving, and a sand and refinish transforms it for a fraction of replacement cost. Where previous owners sanded aggressively or patched with mismatched species, we lay out the honest options: repair and blend, or replace and match the era.
Tile projects here center on bathrooms and mudrooms, and heated floor systems have become the default request in both. We spec the system to the room and the covering, wire it on its own circuit, and set tile flat over membranes so grout lines stay tight through Michigan's seasonal swings.
We also fix the sins of past quick flips: floating floors over failing subfloors, tile set on bare plywood, transitions that trip. The repair starts at the substrate, which is not the glamorous part, but it is why our floors stay quiet and flat after the seasons change.
