New Hardwood Installation project in Columbus, OHWhen a floor is beyond saving, or you're adding a room or replacing carpet, we install new hardwood and finish it on site for a seamless look. Site-finished floors let us match an existing room exactly and fill the joints for a smooth, easy-to-clean surface. We handle subfloor prep, acclimation, layout, installation, and finishing.
Our New Hardwood Installation Process
- 1
Selection & Subfloor Check
We help you choose species, width, and grade, and inspect the subfloor for flatness and moisture before ordering.
- 2
Acclimation
Wood acclimates to your home's humidity before installation — skipping this is a top cause of gaps and cupping later, especially with Ohio's seasonal swings.
- 3
Layout & Installation
We plan the run direction and layout, then fasten the boards with proper spacing and transitions.
- 4
Sand Flat & Finish
Site-finished floors are sanded flat and finished in place, so seams fill and the surface is smooth and uniform.
- 5
Match to Existing
Where new meets old, we work to blend species, stain, and sheen so additions don't look added-on.

New Hardwood Installation: FAQs
Site-finished or prefinished — which is better?
Prefinished installs faster with no on-site finishing; site-finished gives a smoother, gap-filled surface and exact color matching. For matching an existing floor or a custom look, site-finished usually wins. We'll lay out the trade-offs.
How long does installation take?
It varies with square footage, acclimation time, and whether we finish on site, but most rooms run several days to a week-plus. Acclimation can't be skipped, so we build it into the schedule.
Can you match my existing hardwood?
We work to match species, board width, stain, and sheen, and we set expectations honestly — older wood ages in color, so a perfect match isn't always possible, but a close, intentional blend usually is.
Do you remove old flooring and carpet?
Yes, removal and disposal of old flooring and prep of the subfloor are part of a typical installation quote.
