Why Install Hardwood Floors?
Timeless beauty with lasting value
Increases Home Value
Hardwood floors are a top feature buyers look for. They can increase your home's resale value by 3-5% and make properties sell faster.
Long Lifespan
With proper care, hardwood floors last 50-100 years. They can be refinished multiple times, making them a true lifetime investment.
Timeless Beauty
Hardwood never goes out of style. The natural wood grain and warm tones complement any décor from traditional to contemporary.
Easy Maintenance
Unlike carpet, hardwood doesn't trap dust, allergens, or odors. Simple sweeping and occasional mopping keep floors looking pristine.
Better Air Quality
Hardwood floors don't harbor allergens, dust mites, or mold. They're an excellent choice for households with allergies or respiratory concerns.
Design Versatility
Dozens of species, colors, and finishes available. Hardwood adapts to any style and can be refinished to match future design changes.
Professional Installation Process
Precision craftsmanship from start to finish
Consultation & Planning
We visit your home to discuss wood species, colors, and installation patterns. We measure the space, assess the subfloor, and provide a detailed quote.
Subfloor Preparation
Critical for long-lasting results. We ensure the subfloor is level, dry, and structurally sound. Any necessary repairs are completed before installation.
Wood Acclimation
Your hardwood is delivered and allowed to acclimate to your home's temperature and humidity for 3-7 days. This prevents warping and gaps.
Professional Installation
Using precision tools and techniques, we install each board with proper spacing, nailing patterns, and alignment. Attention to every detail ensures perfection.
Finishing Touches
Baseboards and transitions are installed. For unfinished wood, we sand, stain, and apply protective coatings. Final inspection ensures your complete satisfaction.
