Trusted flooring services in St. Martinville
Historic homes near the Evangeline Oak need careful product selection. We have spent years figuring out what works in older Acadian houses.
Homes built before sealed crawl spaces
St. Martinville carries some of the most beautiful historic homes in Acadiana, and we have learned what they need over the years. Drive past the Evangeline Oak on a Sunday afternoon and you see why people work hard to preserve these properties. Many of the homes in and around the historic district have settled subfloors, century-old pine, and humidity issues that newer construction never has to think about. We help homeowners pick flooring and finishes that respect the architecture without committing to materials that will not survive the climate.
The drive from our Breaux Bridge showroom to St. Martinville runs about 15 minutes down Highway 31. That proximity matters because older homes almost always reveal something unexpected during installation, and we can be on site quickly when they do.

Learn moreWhat St. Martinville homes typically need
Older homes in St. Martinville have specific requirements that come from the way they were originally built. We often recommend engineered hardwood over solid for these properties because the moisture management is far better suited to homes that predate sealed crawl spaces and modern HVAC. For bathroom remodels, porcelain tile that mimics period materials lets you upgrade the moisture protection without sacrificing the historic look. We see a lot of work along the Bayou Teche corridor where homes sit close to the water and humidity stays high year-round.
Many of our St. Martinville clients are second or third generation in the same home and want the work done right because they plan to stay. That patience and long view changes the conversation. We can talk about hand-scraped finishes, original heart pine character, mosaic accent walls that complement period millwork, and natural stone surfaces that age gracefully alongside the rest of the home.
Working through the details of an older home
We strongly recommend a showroom visit for any historic home project. Product selection matters more here than almost anywhere else we work, and seeing options in person against photos of your existing trim and finishes is the cleanest way to find the right match. Once we understand the home, we can plan the install around your timeline and any coordination you have going with plumbers, electricians, or restoration specialists.
Most projects in St. Martinville run three to six weeks from start to finish. Historic restorations sometimes take longer when we are sequencing around other trades, and we plan for that rather than rushing through it. Doing it right matters more than doing it fast.
