Services
Hardwood Flooring Installation
We install all types of hardwood flooring, including engineered glue-down systems on concrete slabs and pre-finished/un-finished options. Our team ensures seamless integration with existing structures while maintaining dust-free environments. Customers benefit from precise molding installation and expert pre-installation prep work.
Floor Refinishing
Our refinishing process involves stripping, sanding, and applying durable finishes like Glitsa and Bona WaterBorne products. This restores worn floors to their original beauty without chemical treatments, allowing homeowners to remain in residence during the process.
Repairs
We repair damaged hardwood floors by replacing sections, addressing water damage, or fixing scratches. Our technicians match existing wood tones and textures precisely, ensuring repairs blend seamlessly with surrounding flooring for a uniform appearance.
Dust Containment
Our advanced dust containment systems capture 99% of particles during sanding, maintaining cleaner indoor air quality. This technology allows refinishing projects to proceed with minimal disruption to household routines and furnishings.
Step Installation
We install hardwood treads, risers, and moldings for both straight and curved staircases. Using premium materials and custom fitting techniques, we ensure safe, durable, and aesthetically cohesive transitions between flooring levels in residential properties.
