Adams County
Hardwood flooring in Gettysburg.
Neighborhoods
Around Lincoln Square
The center of the borough. Houses and buildings here are old, and the floors often are too.
Baltimore Street
The older residential and mixed blocks running south from the square, toward the Maryland line and Taneytown.
Off Steinwehr Avenue
The avenue itself is commercial. The houses on the side streets are the flooring jobs, not the tourist frontage.
Bonneauville and Cumberland Township
Just east of the borough, with a mix of older village houses and later homes.
Toward Littlestown
Southeast of Gettysburg, close to the Maryland line. Littlestown is one of the nearer Pennsylvania towns to the office.
Outside the borough toward New Oxford
Newer houses beyond the old street grid, where installation is more common than refinishing.
The houses
The Gettysburg borough is old housing. Around the square and along Baltimore Street, the question is usually whether the hardwood can be refinished or whether damaged boards should be replaced. Outside the borough, in Cumberland Township and toward New Oxford, more of the houses are later construction, so a new floor or a replacement is the more common job. The drive from Taneytown is short.
Services in Gettysburg
- Hardwood floor installation
New installation around Gettysburg is mostly outside the borough, in later houses toward New Oxford and the township.
- Hardwood floor replacement
Replacement in the borough usually means taking up a worn floor or carpet in an older house near the square.
- Sanding and refinishing
Baltimore Street and the blocks around Lincoln Square are where sanding an existing floor is the first question.
- Hardwood floor repair
Board repair fits these older borough houses. The site needs a board count before it will show a price.
- Stairs
Older borough houses often have a straight stair. A newer house outside town with a turning stair still needs a look.
