Installation Process

Floor Installation:

We generally inspect the site to determine exactly what needs to be done, and to create an accurate price quotation. Some of the variables we look for are:

• We need a dry, smooth subfloor and if necessary we sand it and clean it thoroughly for preparation.
• In some instances we can leave vinyl flooring down if the sub floor is thick enough, and if the vinyl is in good condition.
• We decide a game plan on the best way to install the flooring to suit the room.

After we have determined the most appropriate plan, we help our customers pick out the type of wood, finish and grain pattern.

Prefinished Flooring:

Prefinished wood flooring is exactly that, it comes from the factory already finished and ready to install. To begin installing all we need is a clean, smooth and dry subfloor. Prefinished flooring has the following advantages:

• Very little dust and debris.
• No smell caused by the finish.
• Comparable in price to a regular hardwood floor installation.
• Has the same life span as regular flooring.
• More convenient for the homeowner as it can be accessed immediately upon installation.
• Approximately 20% of our installs are with prefinished flooring.

Raw Hardwood Floor Installation:

The regular installation requires the same subfloor preparation as the prefinished. The only difference is that sanding and finishing is necessary.

Note: We offer a "Sanding Only" option where the homeowner is responsible for the finishing.
