Services
Hardwood Floor Installation
Our hardwood floor installation service delivers premium results using domestic and exotic wood species. We handle unfinished, prefinished, engineered, and floating installations with precise subfloor preparation. Our craftsmen specialize in custom patterns, borders, and hand-scraped finishes, ensuring each installation matches the client's aesthetic preferences while maintaining structural integrity. The process includes professional measurement, material selection guidance, and meticulous attention to detail.
Hardwood Floor Refinishing
Professional refinishing services restore worn hardwood floors to like-new condition. Using Bona and Clarke dust containment systems, we sand, stain, and seal floors with minimal mess. The three-coat urethane application process ensures durability, while staircase refinishing adds cohesive beauty throughout homes. Our technicians address scuff marks, scratches, and sun damage, extending floor lifespan while maintaining environmental responsibility through chemical-free sanding methods.
Vinyl Plank Flooring
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring solutions offer water-resistant, low-maintenance alternatives to natural wood. Our installation services include subfloor preparation, moisture testing, and precise plank fitting using click-lock, glue-down, or staple-down methods. We provide material selection guidance considering traffic patterns and lifestyle needs, ensuring durable installations that mimic natural wood grain while offering enhanced scratch resistance and easier maintenance compared to traditional hardwood.
Dustless Refinishing
Our dustless refinishing technology employs advanced Bona DCS systems that capture 99% of airborne particles during sanding. The HEPA-filtered containment system prevents dust migration throughout homes, making refinishing projects cleaner and safer. This environmentally friendly process eliminates chemical strippers while achieving superior surface preparation for stain and finish application, reducing cleanup time by 60% compared to traditional methods.
Custom Wood Solutions
We create bespoke flooring solutions including mixed-species installations, custom painted floors, and hand-scraped textures. Our craftsmen execute intricate border designs and patterned layouts that enhance architectural features. The service includes personalized design consultation, material sourcing for exotic woods like Brazilian Cherry and Teak, and specialized finishing techniques that achieve unique aesthetic effects while maintaining functional durability for high-traffic areas.
