Flooring Across Washington, DC's Neighborhoods
What's under the floors in each part of the District, and what it takes to restore or replace them, from a crew that has worked here for years.
Neighborhood Flooring Guides
The same city, very different floors.
A Federal rowhouse in Georgetown, a co-op on Connecticut Avenue and a new build in the Palisades each need a different plan. These guides cover what we find in each neighborhood, the problems to plan around, and what the work typically costs.
