A floor is only as good as what's under it. Before any boards go down we check the subfloor for level, moisture and loose spots, because that's where squeaks, gaps and cupping come from later.
What we install
Solid hardwood, unfinished
Red oak, white oak, maple and others, nailed down and then sanded, stained and finished in your house. This gives a seamless floor with no beveled edges, a custom color, and the option to refinish it for decades. It's what most of our installations are.
Prefinished and engineered hardwood
Factory-finished planks that are ready to walk on the same day. Engineered boards are the right call over concrete slabs, in basements, and with radiant heat.
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP)
Waterproof, tough, and a good-looking option for kitchens, bathrooms, basements and rentals. We install click-lock and glue-down LVP with proper subfloor flattening so seams stay tight.
What's included
- Removal and disposal of carpet, tile, laminate or old wood

Matching new floors to old ones
If you're extending hardwood into a room that never had it, or removing a wall between two floors, we lace the new boards into the old so the seam disappears, then sand and finish everything together. Done right, you can't find where the old floor ends.
Common questions
How long does installation take?
Prefinished and LVP: usually 1 to 3 days. Unfinished hardwood: 1 to 2 days to install, plus 2 to 4 days for sanding and finishing.
Can you install over my existing floor?
Sometimes. LVP can often go over a flat existing floor. Hardwood needs a proper wood subfloor. We'll tell you during the estimate.
Do you supply the wood?
Yes. We'll quote material and labor together, or install material you've already bought if it's suitable.
