Installation, refinishing, custom inlays, herringbone and antique restoration — the craft Lawrence John Vrchota carried over from Bohemia 124 years ago, still practiced by hand in Madison today. Five generations. One standard.
Premium hardwood we install & finish
New installations, dustless refinishing, custom borders and inlays, staircases, and the careful restoration of century-old floors. The same in-house crew on every job, start to finish.
Solid and engineered plank in oak, walnut, cherry, maple and exotics — nail-down, glue-down, and floating systems, laid to a flat, tight, lasting finish.
Tired floors brought back to life — sanded flat, stained to the tone you want, and sealed with durable oil or water-based finishes. Dustless containment available.
Hand-cut medallions, hearth inlays, contrasting borders and feature patterns. The detail work that turns a floor into the centerpiece of a room.
Classic patterned floors — herringbone, chevron, basket-weave and parquet — set board by board. The most demanding installs we do, and the most rewarding.
Matching hardwood treads, risers and landings — built, fit and finished to flow seamlessly from your floors. Repairs and full rebuilds alike.
Heart-pine, century-old oak, historic homes — we repair, weave-in and blend new wood into old so the seam disappears. Our specialty for over a hundred years.
Lawrence John Vrchota brought the old-world trade to Nashville in 1901. Somewhere along the way the name softened to Verchota — but the work never did. Five generations later, we still finish floors the way he taught: by hand, on site, and slowly enough to get it right.
Lawrence John Vrchota, newly arrived from Bohemia, opens a hardwood flooring shop and brings European parquet and inlay technique to Middle Tennessee homes.
The second generation carries the business through the Depression — laying heart-pine and oak in the Nashville homes that still stand today.
The family establishes the East Old Hickory Boulevard shop in Madison — the same address customers call today.
Dustless sanding, modern finishes and engineered systems join the bench — but every custom inlay is still cut by hand.
More than 75% of our crew has been with us five years or longer. The hands that quote your floor are the hands that lay it.
No stock photography — every floor below was installed and finished by the Verchota crew. Tap any image to view it full size.
From honey-toned oak to deep walnut, we install and finish the full range of domestic and exotic hardwoods, plus engineered and bamboo systems.
Verchota Floors has finished hardwood in Nashville homes for 124 years. We are not a franchise and we do not subcontract — the people on your job are the people on our payroll, and most of them have been here for years. Over three-quarters of our crew has been with the family five years or longer.
That continuity is the whole point. When a floor needs blending into a hundred-year-old room, or a custom medallion cut to fit a foyer, it takes a hand that has done it a thousand times. After five generations, ours have.
Verbatim from verified Verchota Floors customers. After 124 years, the work still speaks for itself.
"Verchota did a beautiful job of blending in the new flooring with the old. You truly cannot tell where one stops and the other begins — the job was done with great care."
"We chose Verchota because of their reputation and their long history of being a family-run business. They did not disappoint — the floors are gorgeous."
"Craftsmanship you don't find anymore. The custom inlay they cut for our entry is the first thing every guest notices. Worth every penny."
Every home is different — subfloor, species, the light in the room. We come out, look at what you have, talk through finishes and patterns, and give you an honest written number. No pressure, no gimmicks.
