Johnston County Is Our Home
Floors Milled From the Land They Stand On
Many of Smithfield's older homes contain pine floors that were not bought from a supplier. They were milled from timber cut on that same property, or at a local mill nearby, and laid down by hand more than a hundred years ago. The result is old-growth pine with a density and grain tightness that modern lumber cannot replicate. These are not the soft pine floors people associate with the species. They are harder than most of what gets installed today.
Refinishing floors like this requires experience with what you are working with. Old-growth pine sands differently than hardwood. It absorbs stain unevenly if the approach is wrong. The grain responds to water popping in ways that demand careful reading. And the wear layer is finite. These floors cannot be oversanded. Done correctly, they look extraordinary for another generation. Done incorrectly, the damage is permanent.
We have refinished original pine floors throughout historic Johnston County. We assess every historic floor for wear layer thickness, board stability, and previous finish layers before recommending any work. Some historic pine floors only need cleaning and recoating. Others can handle a full refinish. We tell you honestly which situation you are in.
Property-milled pine expertise.
Old-growth pine milled on-site over a century ago. Denser than modern lumber, sands differently, responds to finish differently. We know how to work with it and how to avoid the mistakes that cannot be undone.
Historic assessment first.
We evaluate every historic floor before recommending any sanding. Wear layer, board stability, previous finish layers. Some of these floors need refinishing. Others only need recoating. The assessment tells us which.

12th And Oak Floor Co. is based in Clayton, the next town over from Smithfield along US-70.

Smithfield and Clayton are the same market for our crew.
Yes, and specifically with original pine floors that are commonly found in older Smithfield homes and commercial buildings. Many of these floors were milled from timber on the property over a century ago. They are old-growth pine with a density that modern wood cannot match. We assess each one individually, determine whether refinishing or recoating is appropriate, and apply an approach calibrated to the age and condition of that specific floor.
Very quickly. Smithfield and Clayton are adjacent towns along US-70. The same crew that works Clayton jobs serves Smithfield, often on the same schedule. This means faster assessments, faster job starts, and easier follow-up visits compared to a contractor based in Raleigh.
Refinishing in Smithfield ranges from $4.50 to $9.00 per square foot for standard hardwood. Historic pine floors and old-growth species are assessed individually because the condition, wear layer, and previous finish layers vary more than on a modern floor. Recoating starts at $2.00 per square foot for floors whose finish is still structurally sound. Historic commercial restorations are priced by project after a walkthrough. We provide written estimates after every free in-home assessment.
We serve all Smithfield communities including Downtown Smithfield Historic District, Riverview, Barbour Commons, Traditions, Woodfield, and the US-70 and I-95 corridor.
Yes. Every 12th And Oak project carries a five-year warranty. The industry standard is one year. Johnston County is our home territory and that warranty reflects the long-term standard we hold ourselves to in every community we serve.
