Falmouth, MA: our home store

Neighborhoods we see every week

Woods Hole, Falmouth Heights, Teaticket, East Falmouth, North Falmouth, West Falmouth, Hatchville, Waquoit and Sippewissett. Most of the village is within ten minutes of the store, which is why a lot of Falmouth contractors stop in the morning of a job rather than stocking a week ahead.

What Falmouth houses need

Much of the housing stock dates from the 1930s through the 1960s, and those original floors bring specific issues: previous wax finishes, board replacement, nail setting, and red oak that turns pink under light stains without a tannin blocker. Bona Red Out goes down before the stain to stop that bleed.

Seasonal homes are the other Falmouth question. A house that sits unheated from November to April swings through a much wider humidity range than a year-round residence. That affects whether solid hardwood or engineered flooring makes more sense, and when to schedule refinishing. See why floors gap in winter.

Next to the Woods Hole ferry
