Site Preparation
A beautiful floor is built on a solid foundation. Before the first plank is laid or the first sander is turned on, we prep the space. This includes moving furniture (as agreed), protecting your walls, and ensuring the subfloor is level, dry, and clean.

FAQs
How long do I have to stay off the floors after refinishing?
1
For most finishes, you can walk on the floors with socks after 24 hours. However, we recommend waiting 48 hours before moving furniture back and 7–10 days before placing area rugs to allow the finish to fully cure.
How long does a typical installation take?
2
Most residential projects take between 2 to 5 days, depending on the square footage and the type of flooring. We always provide a projected timeline before we begin work.
Can you match my new flooring to my existing hardwood?
3
Absolutely. We are experts in custom staining and can blend new wood installations seamlessly with your existing floors so you can't see the transition.
What is the difference between LVP and Laminate?
4
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) is 100% waterproof, making it ideal for basements and kitchens. Laminate is highly scratch-resistant and often looks more like "real" wood but is more sensitive to moisture. We can help you choose the best fit for your specific room.
