Flooring Installation
Our Installation Process
From planning to installation, we handle every step with precision and care, ensuring your new floors not only look stunning but last for decades.
1. Define Your Project
We start with a conversation to understand your vision and scope.
Whether you're building a new home or remodeling an existing space, we'll determine:
- Which areas need hardwood flooring
- Whether solid, engineered, or custom options are the right fit
- Any special design features — from staircases to open living spaces
Our team helps you plan every detail to achieve a seamless result.
2. Select Your Pattern & Style
Once the project scope is clear, we move to design.
From classic straight-lay patterns to herringbone, basketweave, or even custom inlays and borders, our craftsmen can create a look that’s timeless or uniquely yours.
We’ll guide you through design options that complement your home’s architecture and layout.
3. Choose the Right Wood
The wood you select impacts durability, style, and budget.
We’ll walk you through every option to help you make the best choice for your home.
