What's included

Good floors start with a flat subfloor

Most squeaks, gaps and hollow spots come from what's under the floor, not the floor itself. Before anything goes down we check flatness with a straightedge, screw down loose subfloor and level the low spots.

How we build it

How we install a floor

  1. Measure and test

    Square footage measured room by room, and concrete tested for moisture if we're going below grade.

  2. Choose the material

    Samples in your light, in your rooms.

  3. Acclimatize

    Hardwood and engineered boxes sit in the house for the time the manufacturer specifies, so the boards adjust to its humidity before installation.

  4. Prep the subfloor

    Old floor out, loose subfloor fixed, low spots levelled.

  5. Install

    Boards or tile down with the right expansion gaps at walls and doorways.

  6. Finish and clean up

    Baseboard, quarter round and transitions installed, site vacuumed, furniture back in place.

Yes, if the wear layer is thick enough. A thick wear layer can be sanded and refinished more than once.

Yes. We check it on delivery for damage and quantity, and make sure there's enough extra to cover cuts.
