Lebanon homeowners

What Lebanon OH homeowners ask us about hardwood.

Lebanon is our home base — our showroom serves homeowners across the historic downtown, the new builds along SR-48, and the established neighborhoods near Berry Intermediate and Lebanon City Schools.

Lebanon's housing stock is unusually mixed — 1880s downtown brick rowhouses, mid-century ranches in Heritage Hill, and 2010s+ new builds out toward Carter Farms and along SR-48. That means we see everything: 80-year-old plaster walls and original oak floors that need careful refinishing in the historic district, basement waterproofing concerns in the lower-lying neighborhoods, and full-build kitchen specs in the newer developments. Our crews live here too — most are within a 15-minute response radius of any project in the 45036.

Solid hardwood is the classic — full-thickness real wood that can be sanded and refinished four to six times over its life. We install site-finished and pre-finished oak, hickory, maple, and exotic species. Best for above-grade installs (not basements). If you want a floor your grandkids will still walk on, this is it.

We work across the 45036 ZIP and the surrounding Warren County area. Neighborhoods we've served include Downtown Lebanon, Countryside, Heritage Hill, Shadow Hills, Carter Farms.

FAQ

Hardwood questions Lebanon homeowners ask.

How long do solid hardwood floors last?
100+ years if maintained. Most solid hardwood we install can be refinished 4–6 times over its life, with each refinish adding 20–30 years of look. The flooring outlasts most other things in the house.
Can solid hardwood be installed in basements?
Generally no. Solid hardwood needs to be installed above grade — it'll cup and warp from the natural moisture in a below-grade basement. For basements we recommend waterproof LVP or large-format porcelain tile.
How long does hardwood floor refinishing take?
A typical 800–1,200 sq ft refinish takes 4–6 days from sanding through final coat cure. The home is largely off-limits during sanding (1 day) and the dust-settling/finish-cure period (3–4 days). We can do partial-floor refinishes that keep parts of the home usable.
Do Lebanon historic district homes need special permits for renovations?
Exterior changes in the Lebanon Historic District (roughly downtown around Broadway and Main) typically require a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Commission. Interior surfaces — flooring, countertops, cabinets — are unrestricted. We'll handle the paperwork if your project requires any review.
How fast can Nova start a project in Lebanon?
Most Lebanon projects we measure within 48 hours and can start install within 2–3 weeks of materials arriving. The showroom being right here means we cut typical lead times in half compared to working with a Cincinnati or Dayton-based contractor.
Do you handle older Lebanon homes with original hardwood floors?
Yes — we have NWFA-certified refinishing crews and we work with original tongue-and-groove oak, hickory, and southern yellow pine common in pre-1940 Lebanon homes. We can also do partial replacement panels that match aged wood when a section is too damaged to refinish.
