New hardwood should look straight, feel solid underfoot and stay that way. That comes from preparation most people never see.
Installation is where hardwood floors are won or lost. Tight seams, even lines, quiet footsteps and clean transitions all come from the way the floor is prepared, laid out and fastened.
We install hardwood in new builds, renovations and whole home upgrades, and we plan every job around the room, the subfloor and the product you chose.
Step 1
Hardwood is only as good as what is under it. We check that the subfloor is flat, dry, clean and solid, and we deal with squeaks, high spots and low spots before any wood goes down.
Step 2
Wood takes on and gives off moisture. Material needs time in the house before installation so it settles at the same conditions it will live in.
Step 3
Direction, starting line and how the boards run from room to room are decided before the first piece is fastened. A good layout hides problems instead of highlighting them.
Step 4
Depending on the product and the subfloor, boards are nailed or glued down. We leave the expansion gap the wood needs at walls and fixed objects, so it can move through the seasons without buckling.
Step 5
Transitions, thresholds, baseboard and vents are where a floor looks either custom or careless. We cut and fit them to sit tight and clean.
Step 6
Prefinished floors are cleaned and inspected. Site finished floors are sanded and coated on site. Either way, we walk the floor with you before we call it complete.

Both are real wood. The right choice depends on the subfloor, the moisture conditions in the space and how you want the floor to look and wear. We talk through it during material selection, and we can bring samples to your home with our mobile showroom.
In most cases, yes. Hardwood reacts to humidity, so we plan for the material to adjust to your home before it is installed. We tell you what that means for your timeline.
