1. Clear the Area
Remove all furniture and items from the room where the hardwood flooring will be installed. Ensure the floor is clear of debris and tripping hazards.
2. Prepare the Subfloor
Inspect the subfloor for any damage or irregularities. Repair any issues to create a solid, clean, and level surface for the hardwood. If necessary, install an underlayment to provide cushioning and moisture resistance.
3. Measure and Plan Layout
Measure the room to determine the best layout for the hardwood flooring. Use a chalk line to mark the center of the room and create reference lines for placing the hardwood planks, ensuring a balanced design.
4. Cut Hardwood as Needed
Using a miter saw or circular saw, cut the hardwood planks to the appropriate size, leaving a small gap around the edges to allow for expansion.
5. Apply Adhesive (if applicable)
If using glue-down hardwood, mix the adhesive according to the manufacturer's instructions. Using a notched trowel, spread a layer of adhesive on the subfloor where the first plank will be laid.
6. Lay the Hardwood Flooring
Begin at the center point or a designated reference line. Press the first hardwood plank into place, ensuring it is aligned correctly. Angle the next plank into place and press down to secure it. Continue this process until the first row is complete.
7. Use Seam Tape (if applicable)
For glue-down hardwood, place seam tape over the joints between planks according to the manufacturer's instructions. This helps secure the planks and maintain even seams.
8. Continue Laying Hardwood
Continue laying the hardwood flooring, applying adhesive (if needed) and cutting planks as necessary until the entire area is covered. Check the alignment frequently to ensure everything remains even and straight.
9. Allow Adhesive to Set
If using adhesive, allow it to cure according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically 24 hours, before walking on the floor.
10. Install Transition Strips
For areas where the hardwood meets other flooring types, install transition strips to create a smooth and secure transition.
11. Final Clean-Up
Vacuum or sweep the area to remove dust and debris. Inspect the hardwood surface for any remaining adhesive or seam tape and clean as necessary.
12. Replace Furniture
Once the installation is complete and everything is cleaned, carefully place furniture and items back into the room.

Our step-by-step methodology is designed to provide a smooth installation process that enhances the beauty, comfort, and value of your space.
1. Initial Consultation and Site Assessment
We begin with an on-site consultation, where our team evaluates your area, discusses your design preferences, and reviews your specific requirements.
We assist you in selecting the ideal hardwood flooring options based on the room's purpose, foot traffic, and aesthetic goals, ensuring you choose a style, species, and finish that perfectly suits your needs.
Our experts provide a detailed quote and timeline, outlining each phase of the installation process.
2. Accurate Measurement and Planning
Precision in measurements is crucial for a flawless hardwood installation. We carefully measure the area, accounting for irregular shapes, doorways, and transitions to other flooring types.
Based on these measurements, we develop a layout plan that minimizes waste and ensures optimal placement of hardwood planks for a cohesive and visually appealing finish.
3. Removal of Existing Flooring and Preparation
Our team efficiently removes and disposes of any existing flooring, ensuring not to damage the underlying subfloor or surrounding walls.
We inspect the subfloor for any damage or irregularities and carry out necessary repairs to create a smooth, level surface for the new hardwood installation.
Underlayment or adhesives are installed as required to guarantee a secure fit for the hardwood.
4. Installation of Underlayment (if necessary)
If needed, we install high-quality underlayment to enhance comfort, provide insulation, and prolong the life of your hardwood flooring.
We ensure the underlayment fits snugly without overlapping edges, creating a stable base for the hardwood.
5. Precise Hardwood Cutting and Laying
Using our measurements, we cut the hardwood to fit the room’s dimensions, leaving a small gap along the edges to allow for natural expansion.
For larger areas, we align multiple planks and use seam tape or adhesive to ensure seamless transitions.
6. Hardwood Securing and Finishing
Each hardwood plank is securely pressed into place, utilizing the appropriate tools to maintain alignment and ensure a tight fit.
Our team pays close attention to tucking and securing the edges against walls and trim, delivering a polished and professional finish.
7. Final Touches
After securing the hardwood, we install transition strips at doorways and between different flooring types to create a smooth, seamless transition.
We conduct a final inspection to ensure there are no bubbles, gaps, or loose sections, guaranteeing a flawless installation.
8. Final Cleaning and Client Walkthrough
Once the installation is complete, we vacuum the new flooring to remove any debris and dust, leaving the space clean and ready for use.
We perform a final walkthrough with the client, addressing any concerns and providing care and maintenance tips to keep your hardwood flooring looking its best.
