Residential Wood Flooring

Hardwood Floor Installation:

There are several things to consider when installing a new wood floor.

Acclimation to the environment: The wood needs to be in the home prior to installation for several days to acclimate to it's lived-in the environment, meaning the heating and air is consistent like the conditions would be while someone is living there.

Sub-floor preparation, undercutting door casings, and trim work, and stone surrounds. Consider cabinetry and all other considerations to achieve a proper layout to ensure a pleasing view.

Hardwood Floor Repair:

Whether you have pulled up a carpet and found a large hole from an HVAC duct that was patched with plywood, or if a wall was removed, or termite damage, etc. It takes a true craftsman to repair the damage. The damaged area must be removed along with some area around the damage in order for the repair to flow into the existing floor. This is known as "fingering" or "lacing" and makes the repair look seamless. This is very time consuming and tedious work but well worth the time and cost. However sometimes a total tear out is a better option depending on each job.
