Our Professional Installation Process

From acclimation to final walkthrough, every step is executed with precision

Subfloor Inspection & Preparation

Initial Assessment

2

Wood Acclimation & Planning

3-7 Days Before

Your hardwood is delivered and stored in the installation area for proper acclimation. The wood adjusts to your home’s temperature and humidity levels, preventing future gaps or buckling while we finalize the installation plan.

Precision Installation

NWFA certified installers establish straight reference lines and carefully mix boards from different bundles for optimal color variation. We maintain proper expansion gaps and stagger joints for maximum structural integrity and visual appeal.

4

Sanding & Finishing

Day 2-3

Multiple sanding passes with progressively finer grits create a perfectly smooth surface. We apply your chosen stain and multiple coats of finish, whether oil-based polyurethane, water-based, or natural oil finishes.

Final Details & Walkthrough

Final Day

Installation of all transitions and baseboards, furniture return, and thorough cleanup. We conduct a detailed walkthrough with you, provide care instructions, and ensure your complete satisfaction with every aspect of the installation.

Hardwood Care & Maintenance Guide

Keep your floors beautiful for generations with proper care

Daily: Sweep or dust mop to remove dirt and debris that can scratch the finish. Place mats at entrances to reduce tracked-in dirt.

Weekly: Vacuum with a floor-brush attachment or use a microfiber mop with a hardwood floor cleaner. Never use wet mops or steam cleaners, as excess moisture can damage wood.
Spring/Summer: Control humidity levels between 30-50% to prevent wood expansion. Use dehumidifiers if necessary.

Fall/Winter: Use humidifiers to maintain proper moisture levels and prevent gaps between boards. Apply a fresh coat of polish every 3-4 months for extra protection.
• Use furniture pads under all furniture legs
• Trim pet nails regularly
• Remove shoes with cleats or spikes
• Clean spills immediately
• Rearrange rugs periodically to ensure even aging
• Keep out of direct sunlight when possible to prevent fading
Signs your hardwood needs refinishing:
• Deep scratches exposing raw wood
• Gray or black discoloration
• Boards cupping or crowning
• Finish worn through to wood
• Water damage or staining

Most hardwood floors can be refinished 5-7 times over their lifetime, making them a truly sustainable flooring choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common hardwood flooring questions

How long does installation take?
Most installations under 1,500 sq ft take 1-3 days. Larger projects may take 3-5 days. Add 1-2 days for sanding and finishing if choosing unfinished wood.
Can hardwood be installed over concrete?
Yes! Engineered hardwood is perfect for concrete subfloors, including basements. We use moisture barriers and proper adhesives to ensure a lasting installation.
What’s the best hardwood for pets?
Harder species like hickory, maple, and bamboo resist scratches better. Consider a matte or satin finish that hides minor scratches better than high-gloss.
How soon can we walk on new floors?
For prefinished hardwood, immediately after installation. For site-finished floors, wait 24 hours for light foot traffic, 72 hours before moving furniture.
Solid vs. engineered – which is better?
Both are excellent choices. Solid offers longevity and can be refinished more times. Engineered provides better moisture resistance and dimensional stability.
Do you move furniture?
Yes! Our installation includes moving furniture out and back. We recommend removing fragile items and valuables beforehand for their safety.
