For homeowners who demand total control over the final look of their floors, unfinished hardwood is the gold standard. Copeland Hardwood Floors specializes in installing unfinished hardwood throughout Gallatin, TN, providing a completely custom flooring experience from board selection to the final coat of finish. Because the wood is installed raw and finished in place, the result is a perfectly flat, flush surface with zero bevels between boards, offering a traditional, seamless appearance that prefinished options simply cannot match.
What We Do for Unfinished Hardwood
Our unfinished hardwood process combines precision carpentry with expert finishing techniques. We handle the entire project in-house, ensuring that the raw wood is properly acclimated, flawlessly installed, and finished to your exact specifications.
- Species and Grade Selection: We guide you through choosing the right wood species, width, and grade (from clear to character grade) to match your home's aesthetic.
- Acclimation and Installation: We ensure the raw wood properly acclimates to your home's environment before installation, then lay the boards with precision to create a stable foundation.
- On-Site Sanding: Once installed, the entire floor is sanded perfectly flat, eliminating any minute height differences between boards for a glass-smooth surface.
- Custom Stain Matching: We apply stain samples directly to your new floor, allowing you to see exactly how the color interacts with your specific wood and lighting before making a final choice.
- Protective Finishing: We apply multiple coats of high-quality finish to protect your investment, creating a durable surface tailored to your desired sheen level.
