Dexter has grown quickly — its population jumped nearly 63% between 2000 and 2010 alone — and much of that growth shows up as newer construction with open floor plans and higher-than-average household incomes (Dexter’s median household income runs roughly $106,637). That combination shapes which flooring materials tend to make the most sense here.

Solid and engineered hardwood remain popular in Dexter’s newer homes, particularly for open-concept living and dining areas where a seamless, premium look matters. Engineered hardwood in particular handles Michigan’s humidity swings well while still offering a genuine wood surface.

For kitchens, bathrooms, mudrooms, and finished basements, higher-grade waterproof LVP is increasingly the choice for Dexter homeowners who want a durable, low-maintenance surface without sacrificing style. And for homes closer to Dexter’s historic downtown — rebuilt after a fire in the 1870s — we also handle hardwood refinishing to preserve original character where it still exists.
