Two kinds of Newtown homes, one careful approach.
Newtown is a town of contrasts. Inside the borough, colonial-era houses and 19th century twins line streets like State Street and Court Street, and many still hold their original floorboards under decades of wear. A short drive out, Newtown Township is filled with neighborhoods built from the 1980s onward, where the hardwood is often prefinished oak that has started to show its age.
Chris Gross, owner of Hardwood Flooring by Christopher, handles both. Older floors get a patient assessment of the remaining wear layer, board repairs and stain testing before any sanding starts. Newer homes usually come down to a choice: refinish what is there, or replace it with a wider plank that suits how your family lives today. Chris walks you through that decision honestly at a free estimate.

Twin and Colonial Know-How
Shared party walls, uneven joists and patched boards are common in older Newtown twins. We level, repair and weave in matching boards so the floor reads as one piece.
Development Home Upgrades
Replace tired builder-grade strip flooring with wide-plank white oak, or refinish it in a modern tone without replacing a single board.
Stain Samples on Your Floor
We brush test colors directly onto your sanded wood so you see the result in your own light before we commit.

Why dustless refinishing matters in an older Newtown house
Traditional sanding sends fine wood dust into every gap of an old home: around window sashes, into radiator covers and through cracks in plaster walls. Our sanders connect to high-powered vacuum containment that captures dust at the drum before it can travel.
A Livable Home
Most families stay in the house during refinishing instead of booking a hotel for the week.
Protects Plaster and Trim
Less airborne dust means far less cleanup on original millwork, built-ins and window wells.
A Smoother Finish
Fewer particles settle into wet finish coats, so the final surface comes out cleaner.
Healthier Indoor Air
Paired with GREENGUARD certified finishes, the process keeps air quality in mind for kids and pets.
What homeowners say about Chris and his crew.
“I must say, I love my hardwood floors! Not many refinishers wanted to touch them. They're from 1958. Chris took on the task of refinishing them and they look absolutely beautiful! No more yellow looking hardwood floors. Chris' team was very professional, polite and took the time to clean up afterward. I highly recommend Hardwood Flooring by Christopher!”

Sanding & Refinishing“We are so pleased with the work Chris and his helper did refinishing our living room floor. The hardwood had been covered by wall-to-wall carpeting for many years, and just look how beautiful it is now!! Chris consulted with us throughout the process so that we understood all the steps that were involved. Now as we are reveling in the new look of the living room, we're starting to contemplate having him come back to work his magic on other areas of the house. We give him our highest recommendation!”

Sanding & Refinishing“Chris was great throughout the whole process of refinishing current wood and installing new wood into another room. Especially when it came time to picking the right color stain for us. He really took the time to listen to what we liked and didn't like to help us decide on the right color for our new home. Would absolutely recommend.”

Common questions from Newtown homeowners.
Can you refinish the original floors in an older Newtown Borough home?
Usually, yes. Many colonial and 19th century homes in the borough still have solid wood floors with enough thickness left for another sanding. Chris checks board thickness, old nail repairs and any cupping, then tells you plainly whether refinishing or partial replacement makes more sense.
Our Newtown Township house has builder-grade oak. Should we refinish or replace it?
If the boards are solid oak without major damage, refinishing is the most affordable way to change the color and sheen. If you want a wider plank or a different species, or the floor is engineered wood with a thin wear layer, replacement is often the better long-term value. We price both options at your estimate so you can compare.
How do you handle floors that slope or squeak in older twin homes?
Some settling is normal in older twins with shared walls. Before installing new hardwood we check the subfloor, add fasteners where boards squeak and flatten high and low spots. When refinishing, we adjust the sanding so the floor looks even without removing more wood than necessary.
How long does dustless floor sanding take in a typical Newtown home?
Most refinishing jobs covering a few rooms take two to four days, including stain and finish coats. Water-based finishes dry faster and get you back into the space sooner, while oil-based finishes need more drying time. You get a day-by-day schedule before work begins.
Do you travel to Newtown from your Montgomery County base?
Yes. We are based in Skippack and take on projects throughout Bucks County, including Newtown Borough, Newtown Township and the surrounding area. Estimates are free, and Chris comes out in person to measure and look at your floors.
