Is engineered hardwood better for Florida homes?
Yes. Due to Florida’s high humidity, we highly recommend engineered hardwood. Its layered construction provides superior stability, preventing the expanding and contracting that often causes solid wood to warp or buckle.
How long does hardwood need to acclimate?
Hardwood typically requires 3 to 7 days to adjust to your home’s specific environment. We monitor moisture levels in both the wood and your subfloor to ensure the material is perfectly synced before installation begins.
Can you install hardwood over a concrete slab?
Absolutely. We use high-grade moisture barriers and specialized adhesives specifically designed for concrete-to-wood bonding. This ensures a rock-solid foundation that protects your investment from slab moisture.
What is the difference between nail-down and glue-down?
Nail-down is standard for plywood subfloors, while glue-down is preferred for concrete slabs. We’ll assess your subfloor during the consultation to determine the most stable and quiet installation method for your home.
How do you handle subfloor unevenness?
A flat surface is vital for hardwood longevity. We perform professional leveling and grinding to eliminate dips and humps, ensuring your new floor feels solid underfoot without any “bounce” or hollow sounds.
Is hardwood flooring pet-friendly?
Modern factory-finished hardwoods are very durable, but we recommend species with higher Janka hardness ratings (like Oak or Hickory) and wire-brushed textures to better hide potential scratches from pets.
Do I need to replace my baseboards?
While we can work with existing baseboards using shoe molding, we recommend a full removal and reinstall. This allows for the proper expansion gaps required for wood while maintaining a clean, high-end look.
