What We Do for Solid Hardwood

Installing solid hardwood requires an understanding of how wood moves, breathes, and reacts to its environment. Our craftsmen take every precaution to ensure your solid wood floors are installed correctly, preventing future issues like cupping or gapping.

  • Environmental Assessment: We evaluate your home's HVAC system and typical humidity levels to ensure solid hardwood is the right fit for your space.
  • Proper Acclimation: We deliver the wood to your home well in advance of installation, allowing it to adjust to the indoor climate to minimize expansion and contraction later.
  • Plywood Subfloor Preparation: We ensure your wooden subfloor is structurally sound, adequately thick, and securely fastened to prevent squeaks.
  • Nail-Down Installation: Using professional pneumatic flooring nailers, we secure each board tightly, maintaining straight lines and proper expansion gaps at the perimeter.
  • Finishing Touches: For prefinished solid wood, we handle all final trim; for unfinished solid wood, we proceed to our comprehensive sanding and finishing process.

What stain color should I choose for my hardwood floors?

The best stain color depends on the wood species, natural undertones, lighting, wall colors, furniture, and the style of the home. Natural tones create warmth, medium browns are timeless, and darker stains can create a more dramatic look but may show dust and scratches more easily.
