Hardwood Floor Installation Process

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

Your hardwood flooring project starts with an honest assessment of your space and specific needs. We evaluate your subfloor condition, discuss wood species options that work well in Texas, and provide a clear timeline and cost breakdown upfront.

Preparation work happens first – ensuring your subfloor is level, stable, and properly prepared for installation. This step prevents future problems like squeaking, gaps, or premature wear that result from rushing the foundation work.

Installation follows proven techniques designed for our climate conditions. Each plank gets properly acclimated, measured, and secured using methods that account for seasonal expansion and contraction. You see steady progress each day with minimal disruption to your daily routine.

Final finishing includes sanding, staining (if requested), and applying protective coatings that enhance the wood’s natural beauty while providing long-term durability. Your floors cure properly before you move furniture back, ensuring the best possible results.

How long does hardwood floor installation typically take?

Most hardwood flooring installation projects take 3-5 days for an average-sized room, depending on the square footage and complexity of the space. This includes subfloor preparation, installation, sanding, and finishing work. The wood needs time to acclimate to your home’s environment before installation, which adds 2-3 days to the overall timeline. Refinishing existing floors usually takes 2-3 days since the hardwood is already in place. Weather and humidity can affect drying times for finishes, so we plan accordingly to ensure proper curing.
Oak, hickory, and maple perform exceptionally well in Texas due to their stability and resistance to humidity changes. Red oak remains the most popular choice because it handles our climate fluctuations while offering beautiful grain patterns and good value. White oak provides superior moisture resistance for areas prone to humidity. Hickory works well for high-traffic areas due to its extreme durability. Engineered hardwood offers additional stability for homes with significant seasonal humidity changes. The key is proper acclimation and installation techniques that account for expansion and contraction cycles common in our region.
Most solid hardwood floors can be refinished multiple times throughout their lifespan, making refinishing a cost-effective alternative to replacement. The determining factors are the thickness of the wood and the depth of existing damage. Floors with surface scratches, worn finish, or minor water damage typically refinish beautifully. Deep gouges, extensive water damage, or floors that have been refinished many times may require replacement. A professional assessment determines whether refinishing will achieve the results you want. Engineered hardwood can often be refinished once or twice, depending on the thickness of the top wood layer.
Consistent indoor humidity levels between 30-50% protect hardwood floors from excessive expansion and contraction. Use your HVAC system year-round to maintain stable conditions, and consider a whole-house humidifier or dehumidifier if needed. Clean floors regularly with products specifically designed for hardwood – avoid excessive water or harsh chemicals. Place mats at entrances to reduce dirt and moisture tracking. Refinish floors every 7-10 years or when the protective coating shows wear. Address spills immediately and maintain proper ventilation in areas prone to moisture. These simple steps significantly extend your floors’ lifespan and appearance.
Solid hardwood consists of one piece of wood throughout, typically 3/4 inch thick, and can be refinished multiple times over decades of use. It’s ideal for above-grade installations and provides maximum longevity. Engineered hardwood features a real wood top layer bonded to a plywood base, offering superior dimensional stability in varying humidity conditions. It works well for below-grade installations and areas with moisture concerns. Both options provide authentic wood beauty, but engineered hardwood typically costs less initially while solid hardwood offers greater long-term value through multiple refinishing cycles. Your specific situation determines which option works best.
Hardwood flooring installation costs vary based on wood species, room size, subfloor condition, and finishing requirements. Basic oak installation typically ranges from $8-12 per square foot including materials and labor. Premium species and complex installations cost more. Refinishing existing floors usually costs $3-5 per square foot. Factors affecting price include furniture moving, subfloor repairs, custom stains, and trim work. We provide detailed estimates after evaluating your specific project requirements. Quality installation represents a significant investment that adds substantial value to your home while providing decades of enjoyment when done properly.
