Services
Hardwood Installations
We specialize in installing unfinished, prefinished, and engineered hardwood flooring using nail-down, staple, glue-down, or floating methods. Our team creates custom designs with borders, medallions, and inlays to enhance any space. Clients may opt for installation-only services even if materials are sourced elsewhere.
Floor Refinishing
Our refinishing process restores worn floors through sanding, staining, and protective coatings. We use dustless technology to minimize cleanup and offer screen-and-coat options for minor damage. Natural finishes receive four coats of polyurethane, while stained floors get three coats for lasting durability.
Retail Sales
We supply high-quality hardwood flooring materials for self-installation or third-party projects. Our inventory includes solid and engineered options in various species, widths, and finishes. Clients receive expert guidance to select products that match their project requirements and design preferences.
Dustless Sanding
Our advanced dustless sanding system captures 99% of particles, eliminating the need for plastic barriers and reducing post-project cleanup. The system uses medical-grade filters to capture particles as small as 1 micron, ensuring a healthier environment during refinishing.
Custom Wood Design
We create bespoke flooring patterns including parquet, herringbone, and custom inlays. Our team matches new installations to existing floors seamlessly and offers specialty cuts for unique architectural features like stairs and curved spaces.

Questions
What hardwood species are best suited for high-traffic areas?
Oak and maple are recommended for durability in high-traffic zones. We provide Janka hardness scale guidance to help clients select appropriate species.
Can existing hardwood floors be refinished multiple times?
Most solid wood floors can be refinished 3-5 times depending on thickness. Our team assesses floor condition to determine refinishing viability.
Do you offer warranties on installations?
We guarantee all workmanship for one year post-completion. Manufacturer warranties apply to materials where applicable.
Are engineered wood floors suitable for basements?
Yes, engineered products resist moisture better than solid wood. We recommend floating installations for below-grade applications like basements.
How long does a typical refinishing project take?
Most residential refinishing projects complete in 3-5 days, including drying time. Dustless methods allow quicker reoccupation of spaces.
Can you match new flooring to existing installations?
Our specialists thread new wood into existing layouts for seamless transitions. This technique preserves historical character while updating worn sections.
