Custom borders & inlays

A walnut border around the fireplace. A picture-frame around the dining room. The kind of detail that makes a Delco home feel custom-built.

The picture-frame around a dining room. A walnut band around the fireplace. A diamond pattern at the entry. These are the details that turn a floor from “nice” into the first thing visitors notice.

When we do them

During a new install or as a retrofit during a refinish — we can cut a border into an existing floor without removing the whole field.

Common combinations

  • Contrasting walnut against white oak (most popular)
  • Light maple against red oak
  • Herringbone or chevron infill in a feature room
  • Historical patterns matched to original 1920s Drexel Hill rowhomes

Cost and timeline

Borders add 1-2 days to a typical project. Cost is mostly the wood and pattern complexity, not labor. We quote per linear foot for borders or per square foot for an inlay.

It’s the kind of detail that pays you back twice — once when you live with it, and again at resale.
