The Installation Process
1. Consultation & Selection
Your perfect floor starts with understanding your vision, lifestyle, and budget. During your in-person consultation at our Newport showroom, we'll help you explore options including wood species, plank widths, grain patterns, and finish styles. We'll discuss your space's specific requirements, including subfloor conditions, room humidity, and traffic patterns. Our expertise with globally-sourced materials means you'll see options you won't find at big-box stores.
​
2. Site Assessment & Preparation
Proper preparation is critical to a successful installation. Our team conducts thorough site assessments, checking subfloor conditions, moisture levels, and structural integrity. We address any issues before installation begins, including subfloor leveling, moisture barrier installation, and necessary repairs. This attention to detail prevents future problems like cupping, gaps, or squeaking.
​
3. Acclimation
Hardwood must acclimate to your home's temperature and humidity before installation. We deliver materials in advance, allowing the wood to adjust to your environment. This crucial step minimizes expansion and contraction after installation, ensuring long-term stability and beauty.
​
4. Professional Installation
Our certified installers use proven techniques and professional-grade tools to ensure precision at every step. We carefully plan layout patterns, maintain proper expansion gaps, and use the appropriate fastening methods for your specific flooring type. Whether installing in a simple rectangular room or navigating complex layouts with multiple transitions, our craftsmen deliver seamless results.
​
5. Sanding & Finishing (For Unfinished Hardwood)
For site-finished installations, we use dust containment systems to minimize mess. Our multi-stage sanding process creates perfectly smooth surfaces ready for staining and finishing. We offer custom stain matching, and our professional finishing products provide superior durability and beauty.
