Hardwood flooring in New Oxford.

The center of ZIP 17350 is about 14.2 miles from the office on Kump Station Rd. in Taneytown.

Abbottstown is the next small borough east and is covered here rather than on its own page. The town is known for the square in the middle of the old center.

Neighborhoods

  • The square

    The center of the borough, where the main roads meet. Houses and buildings around it are older.

  • Borough streets off the square

    Residential blocks just outside the square, still the older part of town.

  • Toward Abbottstown

    East of New Oxford. Abbottstown is the smaller borough in that direction and does not have its own page.

  • Toward Gettysburg

    West, back toward the larger town. Gettysburg has its own page.

  • Toward Hanover

    East and south. Hanover is the larger York County town in that direction.

  • Newer houses outside the square

    Later houses beyond the old grid, where a new floor is more common.

The houses

The square and the borough streets are older housing, so refinishing and board repair are the common questions. Abbottstown is the same kind of small older borough. Newer houses outside that grid are where installation and replacement come up. New Oxford is a moderate drive, closer than York and a normal stop between Gettysburg and Hanover.

Services in New Oxford

  • Hardwood floor installation

    New installation around New Oxford is mostly in later houses outside the old square.

  • Hardwood floor replacement

    Replacement near the square usually means taking carpet or a worn floor out of an older borough house.

  • Sanding and refinishing

    The streets around the square are where sanding an existing floor is the first question.

  • Hardwood floor repair

    Board repair fits those older borough houses, including houses in Abbottstown.

  • Stairs

    Older borough houses often have a straight stair. A turning stair still needs a look in person.
