Before you choose
What decides a hardwood installation
A hardwood quote should settle the product, the conditions below it, and the installation method before work begins. It should also make clear whether you need new flooring or refinishing of wood you already have.
Solid or engineered hardwood
Solid wood and engineered wood are built differently. The room, subfloor, grade level, desired plank, and future refinishing expectations determine which construction fits.
Moisture and acclimation
Wood moves as site conditions change. We inspect the subfloor and plan acclimation around the selected product and the actual room rather than using one universal wait time.
Nail, glue, or floating method
The product and subfloor determine whether the floor is nailed, glued, or floated. The method affects prep, transitions, sound, and the written scope.
New installation or refinishing
Choose new hardwood when the project needs a new floor system. If the existing wood has enough usable surface and the issue is finish wear, refinishing may be the smaller project.
Our Hardwood Installation Process
We measure the space, inspect the subfloor and moisture conditions, and help you compare suitable solid and engineered wood samples.
We remove the old flooring, complete the preparation agreed in the estimate, and install the selected hardwood by its specified method.
We finish with a thorough cleanup. Your new hardwood floors are ready to enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of hardwood do you install?
We bring hardwood samples to the free in-home estimate and help you compare products that fit the room, subfloor, and installation method.
Does $8.50/sqft include everything?
The $8.50/sqft flat-floor price includes material, installation, standard old-floor removal, furniture moving, and cleanup. Stairs and unusual subfloor repairs or site conditions are scoped in the written estimate before work.
How long do hardwood floors last?
There is no single lifespan we can promise across species, products, rooms, moisture conditions, traffic, and maintenance. Solid hardwood may allow future refinishing; engineered hardwood depends on its wear layer and construction. We identify the product before making that comparison.
Hardwood vs LVP: which should I choose?
Choose based on the room and ownership plan, not a universal value claim. Hardwood gives you a real-wood surface and potential future refinishing. LVP resists surface water and usually needs less day-to-day care. We compare the actual products and site conditions during the estimate.
