Surface Evaluation
We inspect for moisture, cracks, or uneven areas. Concrete, tile, or plywood—every subfloor is tested and mapped for stability before work begins.
Subfloor Preparation
Our team corrects height variances and installs a moisture barrier. Clean, dry, and level subfloors are essential for long-term performance and warranty coverage.
Layout & Planning
We pre-plan cuts, transitions, and plank direction for optimal flow. This prevents awkward seams and ensures a visually balanced, symmetrical finish throughout the space.
Precision Installation
Using click-lock, glue-down, or nail-down techniques, our crew installs with tight joints, even rows, and exact spacing—no gaps, no lippage, no surprises.
Detail Finishing
We add transitions, baseboards, and edge treatments. All cuts are clean, and corners are sealed—resulting in a polished, professional hardwood look.
