What Quality Hardwood Floors Really Mean

You walk into your home and feel that instant sense of pride. The floors look stunning, feel solid underfoot, and you know they’re built to handle whatever your family throws at them.

That’s what happens when hardwood flooring is installed right the first time. No creaks, no gaps, no premature wear patterns that show up six months later because someone cut corners on the subfloor prep.

Your investment pays off in ways that go beyond just looks. Properly installed hardwood floors increase your home’s resale value, create a timeless foundation for any decor style, and give you decades of durability when maintained correctly. You stop worrying about whether your floors can handle the kids, the dog, or that next dinner party.

Hardwood Floor Installation Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we assess your subfloor conditions and moisture levels. This step determines everything else about your project. If the foundation isn’t right, nothing else matters. We check for squeaks, level issues, and any structural concerns that need addressing before installation begins.

Next comes material selection and layout planning. We help you choose the right wood species, grade, and finish for your lifestyle and budget. Then we map out the installation pattern to minimize waste and ensure the best visual flow through your home.

Installation day starts with protecting your belongings and establishing dust barriers. We install each plank with proper spacing for seasonal movement, nail placement that prevents splitting, and attention to transitions between rooms. The final step involves sanding, staining if requested, and applying protective finish coats that cure properly before you move back in.

How long does hardwood floor installation typically take?

Most hardwood installation projects take 3-5 days depending on the square footage and complexity of your layout. This includes subfloor prep, installation, sanding, staining, and applying finish coats. We factor in proper drying time between coats because rushing the process leads to problems later. For a typical 1,000 square foot area, expect about 4 days from start to finish. Larger homes or projects requiring extensive subfloor work may take longer, but we’ll give you an accurate timeline upfront so you can plan accordingly.
Site-finished hardwood gets sanded and finished in your home after installation, while pre-finished comes with factory-applied finish. Site-finished gives you unlimited stain color options and creates seamless transitions between boards, but takes longer due to drying time. Pre-finished installs faster and you can walk on it immediately, but you’re limited to available colors and you’ll have small beveled edges between boards. For most Melissa homes, we recommend site-finished because it creates a more custom look and the finish can be refreshed years later without full replacement.
Most solid hardwood floors can be refinished 3-7 times depending on the thickness of the wood above the tongue. We measure this during our assessment to determine how much material you have to work with. Engineered hardwood with thick wear layers can often be refinished once or twice, while thin wear layers can’t be sanded. Signs your floors are good candidates include solid wood construction, minor surface scratches or wear patterns, and no major structural damage. If you can see nail heads or the subfloor through worn areas, replacement might be more cost-effective than refinishing.
Oak, hickory, and maple perform exceptionally well in North Texas because they handle humidity changes without excessive movement. Red and white oak are particularly popular choices since they’re durable, take stain beautifully, and adapt well to our seasonal humidity swings. Exotic species like Brazilian cherry or teak also work well but cost more. We generally recommend avoiding softer woods like pine for high-traffic areas, and we always ensure proper acclimation time regardless of species. The key is matching the wood choice to your lifestyle, budget, and the specific conditions in your home.
Hardwood installation costs vary based on wood species, square footage, subfloor conditions, and finish complexity. Basic oak installation typically runs $8-12 per square foot including materials and labor, while premium species or complex layouts cost more. Refinishing existing floors generally costs $3-6 per square foot depending on the condition and finish requirements. We provide detailed written estimates that break down material and labor costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. Most Melissa homeowners find the investment worthwhile given how much hardwood floors increase home value and enjoyment.
Yes, we coordinate furniture moving and protect your belongings throughout the project. For most installations, we recommend moving furniture out of the work area beforehand, but we can arrange moving services if needed. We use plastic sheeting and tape to seal off work areas from dust, protect HVAC systems, and cover furniture in adjacent rooms. Our dustless sanding equipment significantly reduces airborne particles during refinishing projects. We also protect finished floors in other areas with ram board or similar materials when moving equipment through your home. Everything gets cleaned up daily so your home stays as livable as possible during the project.
