Can you refinish old hardwood floors?

Do you remove old flooring?
We handle all demolition and disposal of existing flooring as part of our service.
Why New Flooring Makes a Big Impact
Flooring is one of the most noticeable elements in any room—it sets the tone, influences comfort, and affects resale value. Professionally installed hardwood flooring adds warmth, elegance, and timeless appeal, while vinyl flooring offers a low-maintenance solution with a modern look. And if you already have hardwood, refinishing can breathe new life into tired boards without the need for full replacement. At Hammell Homes, we’re more than just installers—we’re craftsmen who understand how to enhance the beauty and function of your home through expert floor installation and refinishing.

What Clients Say About Our Hardwood Flooring & Installation Work
“We had a great experiance with Hammell Homes. Rick’s team (contractors, tile installer, electrician and plumbers) were professional and easy to work with. Our bathroom turned out stellar. We selected artisan materials that can be challenging to install, and Hammell Homes understood what was required and everything went seamlessly. We’d work with them again.”
“Rick and his crew are amazing! We’ve had both bathroom and kitchen renovations done by them, and they worked diligently and did a beautiful job on both! We receive compliments all the time on our new kitchen. Rick is also very communicative throughout the entire renovation process. Would highly recommend Hammell Homes!”
