"As the president of St. Louis' largest home builder, I see tons of flooring options--but, nothing like what I found at Historic Floors. We could not be happier with our 16' long, 10" wide plank, distressed, pine floors for our new custom Chesterfield home."
- Jeff Schindler
"Well, Historic floors did it again. This is our second home with Historic's 5" and 7" Heritage NewHeart planks. We can honestly say that our new Kirkwood home is fabulous-- largely due to the look of our hardwood floors."

“We used floors from Historic Floor in our Ryder Cup Room at Old Warson Country Club that our member board chose. They complement our overall look and they stand up to the amount of people that dine and socialize in that space. OWCC is one of the oldest, most prestigious country clubs in the region and our members have distinguishing taste. We plan on using Historic Floor Company for several more projects that are slated for future remodeling.”
- Wade Dunn
“We worked with Historic Floor and Workshops of David T. Smith to provide us with a primitive style throughout our remodel. Now after 3 projects that have spanned 10 years, we cannot imagine our home without these amazing SugarPine floors. We know what we like and we found it in Historic Floor.”
- Tom and Tracy Erb

“As the largest homebuilder in region, McBride Homes deals in a lot of flooring materials. But when it came to my own home, we chose Historic Floor and their wide plank look to distinguish our home.”
- John and Lisa Eilerman
“I used Historic Floor on many high-end custom homes in some very fancy zip codes. I even have used Historic in two of my own homes and I am very picky. Try a floor from these guys… you won’t be sorry you did.”
- Les Grotpeter
“Whenever I have the chance to use Historic Floor Company, I do. These floors are unique and I set myself apart from my competition by specifying their extra-long plank SugarPine. We have ordered it distressed and hand-scraped and our clients love them both. They work closely with my clients to get the color and finish perfect each time.”
- Roger Johnson
”Our wide plank Walnut floors from Historic Floor Company have been the best decision we made with the rehab of our home. And, we chose an engineered hand-scraped plank from them for our finished basement which made it pop. Thank you, Steve.”
- Dr. Scott and Robin Drooger
”We chose Historic’s 8” wide plank Heritage Hickory floors and coated them with the company’s Antique Satin Finish to create a fantastic look throughout. We went with their natural Antique Satin finish to bring out the natural grain. I recommend using Historic Floor anytime I get the chance. The best part is how easy they are to care for and how well they hold up.”
- Tim and Jane Hall
”Our hand-scraped, 8” Walnut floors from the team at Historic Floor made our new construction project stand out. You simply cannot find the level of customized floors from other suppliers. Their floors and stains met our specific look. We also used their 7” Heritage White Oak throughout the basement on the walls to create a super warm feel. Everyone asks about the wood and we wouldn’t change a thing.”
- Dennis and Melissa Ruckman
”Our addition and remodel utilized Historic floors throughout. We are so happy we chose wood flooring from Historic over the competition. We’re grateful we passed on carpet and went with their wood.”
- Dr. Brad and Melissa Davitt
”Our home is complete with our Historic oak flooring and I recommend Steve Lauer to anyone I know looking for floors.”

”We have over 15 thousand feet of gymnasium floors in our facility at Westminster and every square inch is coated with Historic’s Antique Polyurethane finish. Our gym floors take a beating with over 1,000 kids, events, games and facility rentals and this is the best polyurethane that I have ever come across.”

”We wanted to tell you how much we love our new kitchen and family room pine floor and the painted entry way floor. It gives us the historical look we wanted and we look forward to enjoying it for years to come. Thanks to you for your excellent craftsmanship. Please feel free to use us as a reference any time.”
- Sandy Tomey
”For being brand new floors, they look so authentically old. They add a ton of atmosphere in our house. We had them install wide plank pine in the second level of our new home. Our only regret was not having them do the entire house-rest assured, those plans are in the making.”
- Kevin and Lisa Sullentrop
”We chose wide plank red oak and had it stained the color chestnut. Our look is somewhere between casual and formal and Historic’s wide plank oak turned out beautifully in our 1,000 sq. ft. addition. Thanks for paying attention to the details!”
- Pete and Shannon Woods
”Thanks to the Historic Floor Team! We did 2,500 sq. ft. of your Heritage pine on our main level. Every step of the way, you guys delivered. We just absolutely love our pine floors.”

”We first met Historic Floor Company at the Home Show and now have our master bedroom in wide plank pine. What a pleasure it is to spend time in that room! It totally transformed our room into a warm and cozy space. We’re planning to do the kitchen, hallway and living room in the near future. Thank you for our charming, historic pine floors.”
- Jim and Chris Bivens
”We’re not easy to please, but the Historic team pulled it off! I built our house over 20 years ago and never cut corners in any way. If I can’t do it the right way, I’ll wait until I can. Our Historic floors were installed on concrete slab-a huge challenge. We did it the right way by choosing Historic.”
- Tom and Bonnie Igles
”Historic-thank you for putting the finishing touches on the first of two 1850’s civil war era rehabs I have undertaken. I already have plans on working with your company on the next project. I have now used HFC on 6 commercial and many residential projects — including my own home. On all the projects I chose 5 and 8 inch alternating wide plank pine which was the perfect period look for our investment real estate.”
- Lauren Strutman
”As an interior designer it is important to have Historic Floor as a resource. Since having wood floors installed in my own kitchen rehab, we contracted Historic to provide wide plank pine in one of our client’s houses. Both my client and I have found the floors to be exactly what we were looking for in an aged floor with a lot of patina. Restoration-style wood floors from Historic is a great resource.”
- Lisa Dowd
”Thanks to Historic Floor Company, our client is very pleased with the designer wide plank floors that now cover the entire main level. These floors are without question the highlight of this wonderful new home.”
- Jeff Bax
