Properly installed and well-cared for hardwood
flooring can easily transform any room in your
home or office. Wood floors can be just the touch
whatever décor look you are going for from
elegant to classy to rustic. To make sure they
last for decades or even centuries, proper new
floor installation and floor maintenance are
essential. Hardwood floors are easier to clean
and tend to last many years longer than carpet or
linoleum. Hiring the best flooring company that
specializes in wood floor installation is the
best way to ensure that you receive the quality
materials, skilled workmanship and the long-term
use you want from your hardwood flooring.

High quality material Much like other types of
flooring, the quality of wood you have installed
is important to the overall look and feel of your
floors. High quality wood has a softness and
sheen to it, indicating that it is strong and
somewhat pliable. Hardwood flooring of a lesser
quality may not cost as much, but it is also more
likely to splinter, fade quickly and warp when
confronted with water or other liquids. Reputable
flooring companies only work with high quality
materials. They can also help you decide what
type of wood is most appropriate for your home,
depending on your area's climate and geological
conditions. Best of all, they'll be equipped to
handle any type of situation or preference no
matter what size, width or thickness you want
your floors to be.

High quality installation There are three main
types of hardwood floor installation floating
installation, nail down installation and
glue-down installation. Each floor installation
method has its own pros and cons. A professional
technician will be able to help you correctly
assess your needs and the appropriateness of each
type of installation for your home. Most
importantly, moisture testing will also be done
to guarantee that your installation goes
smoothly, whether you want to use engineered word
strips, solid wood strips or parquet. While the
process can be a bit untidy, a professional new
floor installation service will be able to
install your floors with care, expertise and
respect for your home.

Long-term use Hardwood flooring is definitely a
long-term investment. In fact, it's not uncommon
for hardwood floors to last for decades and even
longer if well cared for. If you are weighing the
costs and benefits of this type of new floor
installation, this is definitely something you
want to keep in mind. Proper floor installation
is essential if you want to get the most use out
of your floors. Furthermore, professionals
understand the importance of correctly securing
planks, floor floats, and nails to create the
type of smooth, sturdy and secure wood floor that
stands the test of time. Remember, your floors
are something you use every single day. If you
want them to look, feel and be their best, no one
is better suited to the task than a professional
installer is. There are many projects around the
home that fit the bill of a do-it-yourself
project. However, hardwood floor installation is
not one of them.
