services
We install all kinds of hardwood flooring.
Nail down
Solid hardwood floors and engineered hardwood floors can all be nailed down as long as you are going over a wood sub floor.
Glue down
All engineered hardwood floors can be glued down and some solid hardwood flooring that is 1/2" thick or less. These floors can be glued over concrete sub floors that have been waterproofed. Engineered floors can be glued over wood sub floors too but the nail down method is recommended.
Floating laminate flooring
All floating laminate flooring can be installed over concrete or wood sub floors. The planking is installed over thick underlayment padding and secured by it's own weight and by installing baseboards and thresholds around the perimeter of the new floor.
Stairs
All of the installation systems and hardwood planking already mentioned above can be installed on your staircase. There are three kinds of stair
installation:
- Hardwood planking and stair nosing installed on tread (horizontal surface) and hardwood planking installed on riser (vertical surface).
- Hardwood planking and stair nosing installed on tread and riser solid wood or painted
- Solid wood treads installed with solid wood risers or risers painted (usually white).
- Installation of baseboards and thresholds.
- Installation of dry plywood sub floors (usually over concrete to accommodate a nail down hardwood floor).
- Concrete sub floors leveled and waterproofed (a necessity for all kinds of hardwood flooring except for floating laminate floors).
- Demolition and removal of all old floor coverings (carpet, tile ,vinyl etc..).
- Installation of crown molding and door and window casings.
