Service guide
What hardwood flooring is
Hardwood flooring includes solid hardwood and engineered hardwood. Solid hardwood is one piece of wood through the plank. Engineered hardwood uses a real hardwood surface over layered wood beneath it, which can improve dimensional stability and open up more installation situations than traditional site-finished hardwood.
Process
How a hardwood project is planned
1
Compare solid and engineered options
Review room conditions, slab or wood subfloor, humidity concerns, plank width, and whether a prefinished product makes sense.
2
Confirm prep and installation details
Plan for removal, subfloor flatness, transitions, trim, acclimation needs, and how traffic will move through the home during work.
3
Set finish expectations
Discuss color, sheen, texture, plank variation, and how the selected floor should age with normal household use.
Finished result
What the finished floor should deliver
The finished hardwood floor should bring a natural wood look, a consistent installation, clean transitions, and a finish choice that fits the room conditions and the level of maintenance the homeowner expects.
Prefinished options
Factory-finished hardwood can reduce on-site sanding, staining, sealing, and cure-time disruption compared with site-finished work.
Moisture and width
Wider boards, slab conditions, and changing humidity need careful product selection and installation planning.
