Hardwood Flooring Installation

We install hardwood floors with precision and expertise. It’s more than just laying planks; it’s about creating lasting beauty and durability. Therefore, our installation process has several crucial steps.

Sub-Floor Preparation: The Foundation

The sub-floor is the bedrock of any successful hardwood floor. We meticulously prepare it for a level, stable, and dry surface. This crucial phase may involve leveling uneven areas and repairing existing damage like cracks or warping. Additionally, we install moisture barriers where necessary to prevent future issues from humidity or water. Consequently, this careful preparation prevents problems like squeaking, buckling, or warping.

Acclimation: Ensuring Stability and Longevity

Before installation, the hardwood planks must acclimate to your home’s environment. This means adjusting to the room’s temperature and humidity. This acclimation period is vital for preventing warping, shrinking, or expansion after installation. As a result, it ensures a stable and beautiful floor for years. We carefully monitor this process for optimal results.

Precise Plank Laying: Crafting a Seamless Surface

Once the sub-floor is prepared and the wood has acclimated, our skilled installers carefully lay the planks. Depending on the wood type and project requirements, we use nailing or gluing. Nailing is often used for solid hardwood, while gluing is more common for engineered hardwood. Regardless of the method, we ensure precise placement and secure fastening for a seamless and visually appealing surface.

Finishing: Protecting and Enhancing Natural Beauty

The final step is finishing, which involves sanding, staining (if desired), and sealing. Sanding creates a smooth, even surface. Furthermore, staining allows you to customize the color to complement your décor. Finally, sealing provides a protective layer against scratches, moisture, and everyday wear, enhancing durability and preserving the wood’s natural beauty.

Hardwood Floor Restoration and Refinishing

Beyond new installations, we specialize in restoration and refinishing. Our skilled team can revitalize your existing hardwood floors, restoring their original luster. Whether your floors have scratches, dents, or years of wear, we can bring them back to life. From classic White Oak to rich Red Maple and elegant Cherry, we work with various wood species. Our refinishing process typically involves sanding away the old finish, repairing any damage, and applying new stain and sealant for a dramatically improved appearance.
