It’s a gift passed from father to son.

It’s history. It’s a passion. It’s heritage.

The Baseman story starts in 1926 with Richard Baseman, Sr., who pioneered the invention and implementation of the riding gym floor sander. Since then, the techniques and pride in fine craftsmanship have been handed down through the generations. Today his grandsons and great-grandsons continue to provide unmatched quality and commitment to the art of residential and commercial hardwood floor installation and refinishing.

The mastery required to deliver hardwood floors that stand the test of time does not happen overnight. It comes from years of learning and instructing that best happens within a family – knowledge passed from father to son. Over eight decades, we at Baseman Floors have continued to improve our techniques by developing innovative ways to custom-build our floors.

From our computer controlled graphics plotter to our drying racks for portable floors, innovation remains a big part of the Baseman Floors experience. Our combination of proven methods and advances in technology allow us to provide unbeatable quality.

Where old world craftsmanship is blended with modern technology.

    I was so glad when Baseman Floors won the bid to install our new floor. From start to finish, they took excellent care of us and made the process run smoothly. When it comes to ongoing maintenance, Baseman is our only choice.
