Duval County
Flooring and Tile in San Marco, Jacksonville
One of the oldest neighborhoods we work in, and one where what is under the floor matters most.
San Marco homes were largely built between the 1920s and the 1950s, which means two things. There is often a hardwood floor under the carpet that is worth uncovering. And the structure holding it up has been dealing with Florida humidity for the better part of a century.
We get called here for both. Refinishing original oak that a previous owner covered, and cutting out decking that has gone soft near a bathroom or an exterior wall. The finish work is straightforward. Finding out what is actually under there is the part that takes judgment.
We have also done newer work in the neighborhood, including a full upstairs bath in a San Marco barndominium with tile running across the floor and up the walls.

What we run into in San Marco
Local conditions we plan for
Housing stock is not the same across Northeast Florida, and neither is the right approach.
There may be hardwood under your carpet
Before you buy new flooring for a San Marco home, it is worth pulling back a corner of carpet in a closet. Refinishing an original floor usually costs less than replacing it and produces a better result.
Crawl space decking
Pier and beam construction plus a humid crawl space is hard on subfloor over eighty years. Soft spots near baths and exterior doors are common and need to be replaced, not covered.
Rooms that are not square
Older homes settle. Walls are rarely parallel and corners are rarely ninety degrees. Layout has to be planned around that so the cuts land where you do not notice them.

FAQ
San Marco questions
Not covered here? Call (904) 592-0777 and ask.
Can the original hardwood in my San Marco home be saved?
Usually. Floors from that era were built with thick solid wood, so there is normally plenty of material above the tongue to sand. Unless it has been sanded repeatedly already or has water damage, refinishing is the better option. We will look and tell you honestly.
Do older San Marco homes always need subfloor work?
Not always, but it is common enough that we check every time. A spongy spot, a visible dip, or a musty smell near a bath are the signs. Finding it before we install is far cheaper than finding it after.
