Local context
Why Homeowners in Tacoma Choose This Service
Many Tacoma homes have hardwood stairs that are structurally sound but worn on the surface. Refinishing is a practical way to refresh historic homes with original woodwork without replacing good wood.
Tacoma has a deep stock of early 20th century homes in the North End and Stadium District plus postwar neighborhoods throughout the city.
We serve neighborhoods such as North End, Stadium District, Proctor, Hilltop, about 33 miles from Seattle.
