This two story home in Troy was built in 1908. The first floor has 2 1/4” red oak hardwood installed over floor boards. The red oak was in terrible shape as can be seen in the first picture and there were 6 vents and returns that had to be covered. The real story is the second floor of the home; original heart pine floor boards. They were not as bad as the red oak, but still not good. The Hummel did a tremendous job of restoring them to their original glory.
