Why Selma Homeowners Choose Us
Johnston County Expertise. Older Homes Welcome.
Our shop is in Clayton, the same county as Selma. We are among the closest professional hardwood floor installers to Johnston County, and we have worked in the area's older housing stock for over two decades.
Selma homes from the early 1900s through the 1970s are mostly on crawl space foundations with subfloors that have decades of seasonal movement, moisture history, and in some cases structural changes from previous work. We evaluate all of this before quoting — not after. Crawl space moisture testing is standard on every job we do in Johnston County.
Older Selma homes sometimes have heart pine or original white oak that creates matching challenges for additions and repairs. We assess the existing floors carefully and are honest about what is achievable with available materials. When a precise match is possible, we source through Ten Oaks and specialty suppliers.
Water-based finishes only — no oil-modified polyurethane. Water popping on every stained floor. No big-box store materials.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Hardwood floor installation in Selma ranges from $15 to $25 per square foot installed and finished. Older Selma homes on crawl space foundations commonly require subfloor prep and moisture testing before installation begins. Final pricing is provided in writing after the free in-home assessment — we will not give you a number without seeing the home first.
Our shop is in Clayton, a short drive from Selma on US-70A or I-95. We are among the closest professional hardwood installers to Selma, which keeps scheduling lead times short. Contact us to check current availability.
Yes. Selma has homes from the early 1900s through the 1970s, many with original heart pine or early-era red oak floors. If you are installing in a new space or an addition, we assess the existing floors for species, width, and wear layer so we can source matching material through Ten Oaks when possible.
Most Selma homes are on crawl space foundations, which requires moisture testing of both the subfloor and the air space underneath. We use a Tramex MEX5 pinless meter and a Delmhorst Total Check pin meter on every job. High humidity in the crawl space is the most common cause of hardwood failures in Johnston County homes — we identify the issue before installation, not after.
Heart pine matching is one of the more difficult matching challenges because reclaimed or new-growth heart pine varies significantly in grain density and color. We assess your existing floors in person and source material through specialty suppliers when standard outlets do not have a close enough match. In some cases the best approach is a coordinating species rather than an exact match — we will be honest with you about what is achievable.
Yes. Every hardwood floor installation we complete in Selma is backed by our five-year workmanship warranty, covering installation-related defects including squeaks from installation error, finish adhesion failures, and cupping caused by improper moisture control during installation. Warranty terms are provided in writing before work begins.
