Hardwood installation
Nail down or glue down solid and engineered, including transitions and trim.
We check moisture and flatness before a single plank goes down, because most callbacks in this trade start under the floor, not on top of it.
Prices are per square foot for labor. Material is quoted separately.
Nail down or glue down solid and engineered, including transitions and trim.
Dust contained sanding, stain sample boards, three coats of finish.
Click lock or glue down over a properly flattened and moisture tested subfloor.
Bathrooms, entries, and mudrooms with proper waterproofing and uncoupling membrane.
Self leveling compound, joist sistering, and squeak correction before install.
Water damaged or pet damaged sections woven in and blended into existing finish.
Crossgrain runs two crews and neither one gets subcontracted out mid job. Hardwood is delivered and left to acclimate in the house before install, which is the step most rushed jobs skip and the reason gaps show up in February. You get a written schedule and the same lead installer answers your questions the entire time.
“They found a moisture problem under the kitchen that two other bidders never checked for. Fixing it added three days and saved the whole floor.”
Curtis M., Franklin
“Refinished 1,400 square feet of 1940s oak and the house stayed livable. There was far less dust than I braced for.”
Elaine S., East Nashville
“The LVP in our basement has been down two winters with no lifting seams. They talked us out of the cheaper click product and were right.”

A typical 1,000 square foot install runs two to three days, and refinishing runs four to five because of coat drying time. On refinishing you can usually walk the floor in socks after 24 hours but should keep furniture and rugs off for a week. We stage rooms so you rarely lose the whole house at once.
Solid hardwood, no, because below grade moisture will move it no matter how well it is installed. Engineered hardwood or luxury vinyl plank over a moisture tested slab is the right answer down there. We take slab readings before quoting so the recommendation is based on your basement, not a general rule.
If the boards still have enough thickness above the tongue, refinishing is usually cheaper and keeps the original wood. Floors that have been sanded three or more times, or that have widespread water damage, are past that point. We measure remaining thickness during the in home visit and tell you which it is.
Yes, standard furniture moving is included in the quote for the rooms being floored. Pianos, gun safes, aquariums, and anything requiring disassembly are not, and we will flag those at the measure. Appliances get pulled and reset by our crew.
The measure takes about forty five minutes and you get a written quote inside two business days. Samples come with us.
