Why Choose Hardwood Floors?

Hardwood floors offer timeless beauty, excellent durability, and increase your home's resale value. Unlike carpet or vinyl, hardwood can be refinished multiple times over its lifetime, making it a long-term investment. Hardwood is also easier to clean and better for indoor air quality, as it doesn't trap dust, allergens, or pet dander.

How long does it take to install hardwood floors?

Most hardwood floor installations take 2 to 5 days for an average-sized room (200-500 sq ft). This includes 1-2 days for wood acclimation. Larger projects or those needing significant subfloor work may take longer. We provide a timeline estimate during your consultation.

What's the difference between solid and engineered hardwood?

Solid hardwood is a single piece of wood (typically 3/4" thick) that can be sanded and refinished many times. Engineered hardwood has a real wood veneer over plywood layers, making it more stable in humidity changes. Engineered is better for basements or over concrete. Both look identical when installed.

Do I need to move out during installation?

No, you don't need to move out. Most homeowners stay in their homes during installation. We work room by room and keep the work area contained. There will be some noise and dust, but we take precautions to minimize disruption and clean up daily.

What preparation do I need before installation?

You'll need to clear furniture from the rooms being floored. We handle subfloor preparation, including leveling and moisture testing. If you're removing old flooring, we can do that as well. Our team will discuss all prep work during your consultation.
