# Hardwood floor installation & refinishing in Buffalo

Buffalo has one of the best-preserved concentrations of early-twentieth-century housing on the Great Lakes: Elmwood, Parkside, Allentown and the Fruit Belt are dense pre-1930 stock, much of it in two-family houses and Victorians that still carry their original floors.

## Areas covered

Elmwood Village, Parkside, Allentown, North Buffalo, Central Park, Kaisertown.

## Housing stock and what it means for the floor

Pre-1930 Buffalo houses commonly carry narrow-strip oak or maple over plank subfloor, frequently with inlaid borders in the principal rooms and with board loss where partitions and radiators were removed. Piecing in and feathering comes before any uniform sand, and a border that has survived a century is repaired in kind rather than sanded flat.

## The practical constraint here

Lake-effect winters with long heating seasons pull indoor relative humidity low for months, then release it through a humid summer — the same annual cycle as southern Ontario, and the same argument for measuring moisture content at delivery rather than trusting a calendar.
