About Terrell

Floors built for Terrell homes.

The Cartwright House on Griffith Avenue went up in 1883. The octagonal Round House on the Southwestern Christian College campus dates to around 1865. Terrell still has whole streets of that era, and flooring them is nothing like flooring the 1,527 homes going into Northspur on 700 acres, or the LGI section at Creekside Estates. We work both ends of that: century-old pier-and-beam decks that need levelling, and green slabs that get moisture-tested before anything is glued down.

Terrell's downtown is a turn-of-the-century historic district, brick sidewalks, vintage lighting, storefronts repurposed into shops, offices and lofts, and the residential streets around it match. The Cartwright House at 505 Griffith Avenue was built in 1883, the L.E. Griffith House on First Street around 1880, the Lochhead House on Pecan Street in 1900, and there is a 1910 house on the register that arrived as a Sears, Roebuck catalog kit. Add the 1928 Tudor Revival Walter Allen House and you have a housing stock that predates slab construction entirely.

What that means on site: pier-and-beam, plank subfloors, joists that have taken a century of Texas wet-dry cycling, and frequently original wood buried under two or three later layers. Before anything new goes down we check the deck for deflection, screw off the squeaks, replace rotted boards near exterior walls and add underlayment where the plank gaps are too wide to bridge. Where the original hardwood is sound, refinishing it is usually the better call than covering it.

What we run into in Terrell

The other Terrell is post-2000. Northspur is a 700-acre master-planned community platted for 1,527 single-family homes on 40-, 50- and 70-foot lots, with M/I Homes and Impression Homes building. Creekside Estates adds more. The city was still issuing around 135 single-family permits in 2025. All of it is slab-on-grade, poured onto Blackland Prairie soils that expand and contract on a seasonal cycle.

Humidity is the quiet factor in both. North Texas swings from saturated spring ground to hard summer drying, and wood moves with it. Solid hardwood wants acclimating in the house before install and a proper expansion gap at every wall; on slabs we generally steer people to engineered wood, which handles the swing with less cupping.

Terrell FAQs

Flooring in Terrell, questions

There's original wood under the carpet in our Griffith Avenue house. Refinish it or replace it?

Pull a corner and look at the board thickness first. Solid boards from the 1880s to 1920s usually have plenty of material left and refinish beautifully. Replacement only makes sense if the boards are cupped past sanding, water-damaged near the exterior walls, or if too many are missing from old plumbing runs. We'll tell you honestly which you're looking at before you spend anything.

Our old Terrell house has floors that visibly slope. Can you level them?

To a point, and we're straight about the limit. On a pier-and-beam house we can shim and sister joists, re-deck bad sections and bring the surface flat enough for plank or tile to sit right. What we can't do is correct a foundation that is still moving, that's a foundation contractor's job, and doing the floor first just means doing it twice.

We're closing on a Northspur build. When can flooring go in?

Once the slab is dry enough to test clean, which we check rather than guess at. New Terrell slabs can still be giving off moisture months after pour, and that's what ruins a glue-down. Floating LVP is more forgiving and can often go in sooner. Estimates are free, we bring samples out, and we can usually start within about two days of you deciding.
