Hardwood
Solid and engineered, and an honest answer about which one your slab will take.
What it is
Solid hardwood is one piece of wood all the way through, so it can be sanded and refinished several times over its life. Engineered hardwood is a real wood wear layer over a dimensionally stable core, which is what lets it go over concrete. In most of Southern California that concrete is the deciding factor, not taste.
Where it works
01
Living areas, bedrooms, and hallways
02
Offices and lobbies that want a warmer floor than vinyl
03
Over concrete, engineered only, and only after a moisture reading
04
Not in bathrooms, laundry rooms, or below-grade slabs
What we check first
01
Slab moisture, every time, before we quote
02
Flatness, since wood telegraphs a dip faster than most materials
03
Whether the room needs nail-down, glue-down, or floating
04
Height at thresholds and appliance clearances
Finish and refinishing
Prefinished boards arrive with the finish cured on and go down faster with less dust. Site finished gets sanded flat after install, which hides seams better and lets us match an existing floor. We do both, and we do refinishing on floors we didn’t install.
