Frequently

Asked Questions

We answer the most common queries you may have regarding installation of hardwood flooring in Long Island properties.

The cost of installing hardwood floors depends on several key factors, including the type of wood selected, the size of the area being covered, and any additional services required, such as moisture barrier installation or underlayment. Custom patterns or intricate designs can also increase labor costs. We provide a detailed, transparent estimate tailored to your specific project.

The timeline for installing hardwood flooring varies based on the size and condition of the space. Most installations are completed within 3 to 5 days, but this can extend if the subfloor needs preparation or if additional features, like sanding and finishing, are included. We strive to complete projects efficiently while ensuring every detail is perfect.

Yes, hardwood flooring can be installed over existing surfaces like concrete, tile, or even older hardwood. However, the condition of the existing surface plays a critical role. For example, concrete requires proper leveling and a moisture barrier, while older wood may need sanding or adjustments to ensure a stable base. Our team evaluates the current flooring to determine the best installation method.

We offer both solid and engineered hardwood flooring, each with its own benefits. Solid wood is ideal for areas where humidity is controlled and can be refinished multiple times, while engineered wood provides added stability and is suitable for areas with higher moisture levels. Both options come in a range of wood species, including oak, hickory, and walnut, as well as various finishes and plank sizes.

For minor scratches, we recommend spot repairs using touch-up kits or light sanding. For more significant damage, sanding and refinishing are often the best options. This process removes surface imperfections and restores the wood’s natural beauty. If the damage is extensive or localized, replacing specific planks may be necessary. Our team can guide you on the best approach based on the severity of the damage.

Engineered hardwood is a great option for basements or areas with higher humidity levels. Unlike solid hardwood, it is designed to resist moisture fluctuations, making it a stable choice for such spaces. We also use moisture barriers and underlayment to further protect the flooring and ensure longevity.

Yes, we provide refinishing services for hardwood floors that have become dull, scratched, or worn. Our process includes professional sanding to remove imperfections, applying a stain of your choice, and sealing the floors with a durable protective finish. Refinishing is an excellent way to extend the life of your hardwood floors and restore their original elegance.

Routine maintenance, such as sweeping and dry mopping, can prevent dust and dirt from scratching the surface. Avoid using excessive water when cleaning, as moisture can damage the wood over time. We also recommend using furniture pads and rugs in high-traffic areas to protect the floor’s finish. Our team can provide a customized care guide tailored to your flooring type after installation.

Before installation begins, we’ll ask you to remove furniture and other items from the area. If subfloor preparation is needed, such as leveling or repairs, we’ll handle it as part of the process. Our team ensures your home is ready for a smooth and seamless installation experience.

Yes, we offer warranties on both the materials we install and the workmanship provided. These warranties vary depending on the type of hardwood and the services performed. We’ll explain the specific warranty details for your project during the final walkthrough and provide all necessary documentation for your records.
