From the initial consultation and material selection to precise installation and expert finishing, our skilled technicians manage every detail of your hardwood flooring project with professionalism and care.
1
Solid Hardwood Floor Installation
Solid hardwood flooring is made from a single piece of natural wood and offers unmatched durability and classic beauty. Ideal for living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms, it can be sanded and refinished multiple times, lasting for decades with proper care.
2
Engineered Hardwood Floor Installation
Engineered hardwood consists of a top layer of real hardwood over layers of plywood or fiberboard. It’s more resistant to humidity and temperature changes, making it a perfect choice for basements, kitchens, or areas with radiant heat systems.
3
Pre-Finished Hardwood Flooring Installation
Pre-finished hardwood comes with a factory-applied finish, offering faster installation, minimal mess, and enhanced durability. It eliminates the need for on-site sanding and staining, making it an efficient choice for quick renovations.
4
Nail-Down Hardwood Installation
This traditional method secures hardwood planks directly to a wooden subfloor using nails or staples. It’s ideal for solid hardwood and provides a firm, long-lasting bond. Best suited for ground-level or above-grade installations.
5
Glue-Down Hardwood Installation
Commonly used for engineered hardwood or when installing over concrete, this method involves gluing planks directly to the subfloor. It provides excellent stability, especially for areas with light foot traffic or where nail-down isn't an option.
6
Floating Hardwood Floor Installation
Floating installation doesn’t require nails or glue. Instead, planks are clicked together and laid over an underlayment. It's ideal for DIY-friendly projects, condos, and rental properties, and it offers easier repairs and sound insulation options.
7
Wide Plank Hardwood Installation
Wide planks offer a modern, luxurious look with fewer seams and a more open visual effect. Available in both solid and engineered formats, they’re perfect for larger rooms or open-concept floor plans where the natural grain takes center stage.
8
Exotic Hardwood Installation (Brazilian Cherry, Teak, etc.)
Add a touch of uniqueness with exotic hardwoods known for their bold colors, rich grain patterns, and high durability. Brazilian Cherry, Teak, and Mahogany are popular choices for high-end residential and commercial spaces.
9
Herringbone & Chevron Pattern Installation
These decorative patterns bring elegance and sophistication to any room. Herringbone and Chevron layouts require precision and craftsmanship, making them perfect for entryways, formal living spaces, or custom design projects.
10
Subfloor Preparation & Leveling
Proper subfloor preparation is crucial to the success of any flooring project. We ensure your subfloor is clean, dry, level, and structurally sound, which helps prevent issues like squeaking, shifting, or uneven wear in the future.
11
Baseboard and Trim Installation with Flooring
To complete the look, we offer expert installation of baseboards, quarter rounds, and shoe molding. These finishing touches hide expansion gaps and create a polished, cohesive appearance.
12
Sound-Reducing Installation Solutions
For multi-story homes, condos, or commercial spaces, we offer sound-reducing underlayments and installation techniques. These solutions help minimize footfall noise, creating a quieter, more comfortable environment.
