What we handle on a hardwood install

A good hardwood job starts before the boards come out of the box. We check the subfloor, plan the direction, rack the boards, and leave clean transitions into the next room.

  • Solid hardwood, engineered hardwood, red oak, white oak, maple, and prefinished planks
  • Nail-down installation, layout, board selection, and tight racking
  • Transitions, shoe molding, trim details, and cleanup before we leave
  • Free in-home estimate with a written, itemized scope

Hardwood installation questions

The condition of the room and the transitions between spaces matter as much as the flooring itself.

What happens before hardwood installation begins?

We check the subfloor, plan board direction and transitions, and rack the boards so color and grain are distributed before installation.
