Hardwood Floor Installation

Hardwood flooring is one of the most timeless, elegant, and durable options for your home. Whether you prefer classic oak, modern walnut, or rustic hickory, installing hardwood floors can transform your space with warmth and sophistication. Upgrade your home with the timeless beauty of hardwood flooring.

  • Timeless Appeal
  • Durable Surface
  • Easy Maintenance

Installation of Unfinished Hardwood

Installing unfinished hardwood flooring involves laying raw wood planks, which are then sanded, stained, and finished on-site after installation. This process allows for a perfectly smooth, seamless surface and complete customization of stain color and finish sheen to match your space. However, it is labor-intensive, requires more time, and produces dust and odors from sanding and finishing. The area must be kept off-limits during the finishing process to ensure the best results and allow for proper drying and curing.

Installation of Prefinished Hardwood

Prefinished hardwood flooring comes with stain and durable finish already applied at the factory, so each plank arrives ready for immediate installation. This means the flooring can be walked on as soon as it's installed, with no need for on-site sanding or finishing. The process is quicker, cleaner, and less disruptive than unfinished hardwood installation, making it a convenient choice for busy households. Factory finishes are also typically more resistant to scratches and wear than site-applied finishes.

Either unfinished or prefinished hardwood floors are a great investment that provides the following benefits:

  • Increases Home Value
  • Allergy-Friendly
  • Long-Lasting Results
