Dudgeon-Monroe floors by house age
Dudgeon-Monroe grew up as a streetcar suburb, and most of its homes date from the early 1900s through the 1930s.
| If your house dates to | What to expect underfoot | What we check |
|---|---|---|
| Early 1900s | The Madison Trust describes a streetcar suburb with early 20th-century Prairie School homes (Madison Trust tour). | Wood species and thickness at a register, and any old wax or varnish (Wisconsin Historical Society). |
| 1920s and 1930s | About 1,500 houses line the Monroe Street corridor, many with 1920s and 1930s craftsmanship, original hardwoods and solid oak woodwork (Mad City Dream Homes). The tour also mentions Storybook houses inspired by 1920s Hollywood (Madison Trust tour). | Whether the original oak was sanded before, and how much wear layer remains (Wood Floor Business). |
| 1940 to 1969 | NeighborhoodScout reports that 54.9 percent of homes here were built in 1939 or earlier, and a number were built between 1940 and 1969 (NeighborhoodScout). | We measure instead of guessing. The state lead line is 1978, so homes this age still fall under it (Wisconsin DHS). |
Craftsman floors
Craftsman homes were built with trim and details that show off wood, and floors usually set the tone; warm, mid-tone stains fit them well, and we bring samples. Because the trim is original, we protect it during sanding and use dustless sanding when it helps.
Not every floor needs sanding, and if the finish still beads water, a recoat may be enough (Journeyman HQ).
