What hardwood floor installation involves
Homeowners usually choose new hardwood for a handful of reasons. They want to replace worn carpet or tired flooring, a room has been added and needs to match the rest of the house, or an old floor is too far gone to save.
Installing hardwood means getting the room ready, laying the new boards, and finishing the floor so it looks right with the rest of your home. If you're extending an existing floor, the color and finish need to match so you can't tell where the old floor ends and the new one starts.
If you're in McAlisterville and any of this sounds like your house, give us a call and tell us what you have in mind.
How we handle your installation
We respect your home and your time. We move the appliances and furniture, and take up toilets and trim when needed, so you don't have to lift a finger.
We use a professional vacuum system that captures up to 99% of the dust, so your home stays clean and livable while we work.
We take pride in blending old with new. When we extend an existing floor, we match the color and finish so the transition looks natural. We work with both water-based and oil-based finishes, chosen for your style, your needs, and the character of your home. We can also stain your new floor to the color you want.
What hardwood floor installation costs
Every installation is different, so pricing depends on the job. The size of the space, the wood you pick, the condition of the subfloor, and the finish you want all change the cost of a hardwood floor.
The easiest way to get a real answer for your McAlisterville home is to call us and tell us about the project.

Questions we hear
Can you match new hardwood to the floor I already have?
Yes. When we extend an existing floor, we match the color and finish so the transition looks natural.
Do I need to move my furniture before the installation?
No. We move the appliances and furniture, and take up toilets and trim when needed.
Will installing a hardwood floor make a mess of my house?
We use a professional vacuum system that captures up to 99% of the dust, so your home stays clean and livable while we work.
Should I pick a water-based or oil-based finish?
It depends on the look you want. In general, water-based finishes stay clearer and lighter, while oil-based finishes give the wood a warmer, amber tone. We work with both and help choose the one that fits your home.
Does new hardwood need to sit in the house before it's installed?
In general, yes. Solid hardwood usually needs time to adjust to a home's temperature and humidity before it goes down. The flooring manufacturer's guidelines set the details.
Do you install LVP flooring too?
Yes. We've started installing LVP flooring in addition to hardwood.
