Hardwood Flooring Installation for Garner Homes
Installing a new hardwood floor involves more than choosing a color or wood species. The existing floor, subfloor, layout, plank size, flooring construction, and finishing details can all affect the final result.
Lee’s Hardwood Floors works with Garner homeowners on a variety of flooring projects, including home renovations, room updates, replacement flooring, and new construction.
We offer a wide selection of flooring products, including solid hardwood, engineered hardwood, and prefinished flooring. Our team can help you compare available options and choose flooring that fits the look and requirements of your project.
Proper preparation is an important part of the installation. Depending on the condition of the space, this may include removing existing flooring, preparing the subfloor, planning the layout, and accounting for trim, transitions, and adjoining rooms.
The goal is a finished hardwood floor that looks right in the space and is properly installed from the start.
Is It Time to Refinish Your Hardwood Floors?
If your existing hardwood floors look worn, you may not need to replace them.
Scratches, dullness, faded color, and a worn finish can often be addressed through professional refinishing when the underlying wood remains suitable for restoration. Refinishing can give existing hardwood a refreshed appearance while allowing you to keep the flooring already in your home.
Lee’s Hardwood Floors begins each refinishing project by evaluating the condition of the existing floor. If refinishing is appropriate, the process can include sanding the floor, addressing surface damage, applying stain when desired, and adding a protective finish.
Hardwood Floor Refinishing May Be an Option for:
- Scratched or worn hardwood
- Dull finishes
- Faded or uneven color
- High-traffic wear
- Floors with an outdated appearance
- Hardwood that needs a fresh protective finish
Lee’s Hardwood Floors also offers dust-free sanding using a dust containment system to help reduce dust during refinishing projects.
If you’re deciding between refinishing your existing floor and installing new hardwood, we can evaluate the condition of your flooring and help you understand your options.
Choosing the Right Hardwood Flooring
The right hardwood flooring depends on more than the appearance you like. Different wood species, construction types, widths, colors, and finishes can create different looks and may have different installation considerations.
Lee’s Hardwood Floors offers a wide selection of wood flooring products and samples so homeowners can compare options before making a decision.
Available wood species include options such as:
- Red oak
- White oak
- American cherry
- Walnut
- Maple
- Hickory
- And other flooring options
Solid Hardwood
Solid hardwood provides the traditional wood flooring look many homeowners prefer. It is available in different species, widths, colors, and finishes, giving you plenty of options for your project.
Engineered Hardwood
Engineered hardwood offers the appearance of real wood with a different construction than solid hardwood. It can be another option to consider depending on the requirements of your particular installation.
Prefinished Hardwood
Prefinished flooring has its finish applied before installation. It provides another option for homeowners comparing flooring products for a new installation.
Lee’s Hardwood Floors can help you understand the differences between these options and select products appropriate for your project.
What to Expect From Your Hardwood Flooring Project
Every flooring project has different requirements. Our process is designed to understand those requirements before work begins and to keep the project focused from the initial assessment through completion.
Consultation and Assessment
We start by discussing what you want to accomplish and looking at the space. For installation projects, this helps determine the flooring and preparation requirements. For refinishing projects, we evaluate the existing hardwood to determine whether it is a suitable candidate.
Flooring Selection and Project Planning
If you are installing new hardwood, we can help you compare available flooring options, including wood species, construction, width, color, and finish.
Preparation
For installations, preparation may involve removing existing flooring and preparing the subfloor. For refinishing, the existing floor is prepared and sanded, with appropriate repairs addressed as needed.
Installation or Refinishing
New flooring is installed with attention to layout, fit, trim, transitions, and adjoining areas. Refinishing projects move through sanding, staining when selected, and application of the protective finish.
Final Walkthrough
Once the project is complete, we review the finished flooring with you so you can see the completed work and discuss any final details.
