Postwar cottages near downtown
Hershey's original company-town cottages have solid hardwood subfloors and modest room sizes. A continuous plank run without a lot of transitions makes these compact rooms feel larger.
Flooring in Hershey
Hershey mixes postwar cottages near downtown with newer developments spreading out toward Hummelstown and Palmyra. Whatever the vintage, we sell and install every floor we put down.

Homes in Hershey
Newer developments off Bullfrog Valley Road
Later-build Hershey homes often sit on OSB subfloors with builder-grade flooring that's ready for an upgrade. We remove and replace without disturbing the rest of the house.
Homes with finished lower levels
Many Hershey homeowners finish walkout basements for entertaining. Waterproof LVP is the practical choice given the slab and occasional groundwater.
Homes with radiant heat
Some newer Hershey construction runs radiant heat under the main level. We choose engineered wood and installation methods rated for that heat rather than solid hardwood that could gap or cup.

Hershey questions
Good to Know
- Can you install hardwood over radiant heat?
- Yes. We use engineered hardwood rated for radiant systems and install it with the right acclimation and fastening method so it doesn't gap or cup.
- What's best for a Hershey walkout basement?
- Waterproof rigid-core LVP over a proper vapor barrier. It handles the slab and occasional moisture far better than carpet or solid wood.
- Do you replace builder-grade flooring in newer Hershey homes?
- Regularly. We remove the original builder-grade product and replace it with a longer-lasting hardwood, LVP, or carpet without disturbing trim or cabinetry.
