The houses
Downtown Hanover and McSherrystown are older borough housing. Refinishing and board repair are the questions that come up there. Penn Township and the newer streets around the borough are where installation and replacement are more common. Hanover is close enough, unlike York, that a smaller job can still be a reasonable trip.

New installation around Hanover is mostly in the later neighborhoods in Penn Township, not in the old center.

- Sanding and refinishing
Downtown Hanover and McSherrystown are where an existing hardwood floor is the thing to sand.

Questions about Hanover
Is Hanover closer than York?
Yes. Hanover is the nearer York County town. York is a longer drive northeast. A Hanover visit is a regular trip from Taneytown.
Do you include McSherrystown with Hanover?
McSherrystown is its own borough, next to Hanover and closer to Maryland. It is in the usual area when the ZIP code matches, and a visit there is the same kind of trip.
Can you do a repair in an older Hanover house?
Yes, if you know how many boards need work. Downtown and McSherrystown houses are the ones that usually have that kind of floor. The site will not guess a board count.
