MEET KEVIN

The guy who gives you the estimate is the same guy doing the work.

Kevin Swartwout has been working in homes since 1997, beginning in historic renovation where he developed an appreciation for the craftsmanship, character, and materials found in older homes.

Today, that experience shapes the way he approaches every floor. Before recommending replacement, Kevin looks at what can be repaired, restored, or brought back to life.

RESTORE BEFORE REPLACE

Old hardwood was built to last. Kevin approaches every floor by first asking what can be saved, repaired, or restored before recommending replacement.

DETAILS MATTER

Floors are full of details most people never notice until something goes wrong. Transitions, thresholds, damaged boards, edges, and problem areas all get the same attention as the center of the room.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Not every floor needs a full refinish. Not every damaged board means the floor is ruined. Kevin will tell you what he sees, explain the options, and recommend the solution that makes sense for your floor.

BUILT ON EXPERIENCE

Kevin's work in flooring grew out of years spent working in historic renovation and older homes. Those houses taught him quickly that the easiest solution isn't always the right one.

Floors settle. Boards move. Previous repairs leave problems behind. Older homes rarely give you a perfectly square room or a textbook project.

That's where experience matters.

Kevin brings nearly three decades of hands-on experience into every project, looking at the floor in front of him and finding the solution that works for that home.

THE STORY BEHIND THE WORK

Kevin first stepped into historic renovation in 1997. Working in homes that had already stood for generations gave him an early respect for the craftsmen who built them and the materials they left behind.

Over the years, flooring became the work he kept coming back to. There was something about taking a worn, damaged, or forgotten floor and finding the potential still buried underneath it.

Swartwout Solutions grew from that experience and from a belief that good craftsmanship should still mean something. Kevin doesn't believe every project needs the fastest solution or the most expensive one. He believes in looking at what's actually in front of him, explaining the options, and doing work he is willing to put his name on.

Today, Kevin personally handles the flooring projects Swartwout Solutions takes on, from the first look at the floor through the work itself.
