Recent hardwood projects around Fargo, Moorhead, and Cass County — installs, refinishes, repairs, and one staircase — with what each one cost and why.
The projects below are representative of the work we do around Fargo and the southern Red River Valley — the kind of jobs, the way they're priced, and what homeowners tell us after. Verified customer projects replace these examples as jobs close.
A new Horace build went from builder carpet allowances to 640 square feet of prefinished white oak — great room, kitchen, and hall — laid in one pass before the furniture ever arrived.
“Building new, the smartest money we spent was the floor. They laid the whole main level in four days before move-in, and the written price never moved.” — Josh & Emily, Horace
Price: $6,300 · Time on site: 4 days
A 1962 Mapleton ranch still had its original oak under forty years of carpet. Full sand back to bare wood, a medium walnut stain, and a hard-wearing finish — 900 square feet of the house's own floor, back.
“I nearly paid to replace floors that were better than anything new I could afford. They sanded back to the original oak and it looks like the house my grandfather built.” — Dale, Mapleton
Price: $4,600 · Time on site: 3 days
A West Fargo slab home with in-floor heat got 700 square feet of engineered white oak — the floor built for concrete and radiant systems — over the builder vinyl it replaced.
“Two other companies wanted to sell me solid wood over a heated slab. These were the only ones who said no to that, and explained why. The floor is warm, flat, and quiet.” — Ashley, West Fargo
Price: $7,400 · Time on site: 3 days
Spring meltwater through a Moorhead entry door cupped and darkened 45 square feet of oak. Ruined boards laced out, new oak laced in, and the section sanded and finished to disappear into the floor around it.
“Every spring the entry looked worse. They replaced just the damaged boards and matched the finish so well I have to point at the spot for guests to find it.” — Julie, Moorhead
Price: $640 · Time on site: 1 day
Thirteen carpeted builder steps in a Dilworth two-story, stripped back to the oak underneath: treads and risers sanded, stained, and finished to match the foyer floor at the bottom of them.
“The carpet on those stairs was the first thing you saw and the worst thing in the house. Underneath it was real oak the whole time. Now the staircase matches the foyer.” — Gary & Diane, Dilworth
Price: $825 · Time on site: 1 day
520 square feet of unfinished red oak in a Casselton family room, installed raw and finished on site — the stain mixed on a sample board until it matched the dining room floor next door, which was the whole point of doing it the slow way.
“Everybody else wanted to sell us prefinished and 'get it close.' This crew finished the wood in the house and matched the dining room color on a sample board before a drop went on the floor. It reads as one floor now.” — Melissa, Casselton
