Serving the Lakewood Community
DuraRoots Flooring specializes in upgrading the classic homes of Lakewood. We bring modern flooring technology and traditional craftsmanship to every street in this iconic planned community.
Lakewood is famous for its post-war tract housing. These homes typically feature raised wood subfloors that often need leveling or squeak repair before new flooring is installed. We are experts in prepping these specific subfloors.

Local FAQ
Can you install hardwood over raised foundations?
Yes, raised foundations are ideal for solid hardwood installation, provided the subfloor is properly prepped and leveled.
How do you handle squeaky Lakewood floors?
We tighten the subfloor to the joists using screws (not nails) before installing the new floor to eliminate movement and noise.
What wood style fits a mid-century Lakewood home?
Natural Red Oak or White Oak strip flooring stays true to the original 1950s aesthetic while offering a fresh, new look.
