What’s the Best Flooring for a Victorian-Era Northville Home?
For Northville’s Victorian and period homes, solid hardwood is generally the best match for preserving original character in main living areas, while waterproof LVP is the practical choice for kitchens, baths, and basements.
Solid hardwood remains the natural choice for living rooms, dining rooms, and other formal spaces where original character matters most — and where refinishing existing wood is often possible rather than a full replacement. In kitchens, bathrooms, and basements, though, waterproof LVP is generally the safer choice, since it won’t swell or warp from moisture the way older hardwood installations sometimes did.
We’ll walk through the right combination of preservation and practicality for your specific Northville home during a free in-home estimate.
