Popular Hardwood Species We Install
Oak (Red & White)
The most popular hardwood species in America. Red oak features warm, rosy tones with prominent grain patterns, while white oak offers a cooler, more subtle look with superior moisture resistance. Both are incredibly durable and take stain beautifully.
Maple
A hard, dense wood with a light, creamy color and subtle grain pattern. Maple is one of the hardest domestic species, making it ideal for high-traffic areas. It delivers a clean, contemporary look popular in modern homes.
Walnut
Prized for its rich, dark chocolate tones and flowing grain, walnut is a premium choice that adds warmth and sophistication to any room. It is softer than oak, so it is best suited for bedrooms, dining rooms, and formal living spaces.
Hickory
The hardest domestic wood species, hickory features dramatic color variation ranging from creamy white sapwood to rich brown heartwood. Its rustic character and extreme durability make it perfect for active households with kids and pets.

Installation Methods
Nail-Down Installation
The traditional method for solid hardwood over wood subfloors. Each plank is blind-nailed through the tongue at an angle for a secure, permanent bond. This method provides the most stable and long-lasting result for solid hardwood flooring.
Floating Installation
Planks click together and float over an underlayment without being attached to the subfloor. This is the preferred method for engineered hardwood, especially over concrete slabs and radiant heat systems. It allows for natural expansion and contraction.
Glue-Down Installation
Each plank is adhered directly to the subfloor with construction adhesive. Ideal for engineered hardwood over concrete or for reducing sound transmission in multi-story buildings. Provides excellent stability and minimal floor height buildup.

How long does hardwood floor installation take?
Most residential hardwood installations take 2-5 days depending on square footage and complexity. Refinishing typically adds 2-3 days for curing.
What is the difference between solid and engineered hardwood?
Solid hardwood is milled from a single piece of wood and can be refinished many times. Engineered hardwood has a real wood veneer over plywood layers, offering better moisture resistance and stability.
Do you offer dustless sanding?
Yes, we use HEPA-filtered dustless sanding systems that capture 99% of dust during the refinishing process.
