From first site visit to final walkthrough

How a Flooring Project Unfolds

Every installation follows the same sequence: measure, prepare, install, finish, and hand over. The timeline below shows what happens at each stage and what you can expect from us along the way.

Week 1

Site Visit and Moisture Check

Week 2

Subfloor Prep and Acclimation

Week 3

Layout Planning and Pattern Marking

Week 4

Installation and Nail-Down

Week 5

Sanding, Staining, and Sealing

Week 6

Final Walkthrough and Care Handoff

What the process actually delivers

Every installation follows the same sequence: site measure, material selection, subfloor check, then the build. These are the points that decide whether the floor holds up in daily use, not just in photos.

Subfloor inspection before anything else

Moisture levels, levelness, and existing structure are checked first. A floor laid on a damp or uneven base will fail regardless of the wood grade, so this step is non-negotiable.

Grain and plank width matched to the room

Wide planks suit open living areas, while narrower boards handle corridors and kitchens with more joints. We walk the room with you and explain how each option behaves under foot traffic.

Finish chosen by use, not by trend

Matte finishes hide scratches in family homes; satin works better for retail spaces that need easy cleaning. Stain samples are tested on your actual boards before the final coat goes down.

Acclimation time built into the schedule

Wood needs to settle in the room for several days before installation. We book that time in advance so the planks do not shrink or expand after they are fixed in place.

Pattern layout drawn before cutting starts

Herringbone, chevron, and custom inlays are mapped on paper first. You see the pattern and the waste estimate before a single board is cut, so there are no surprises mid-project.

Maintenance guidance after the last coat

Each project ends with a care sheet: which cleaners are safe, how often to reapply finish, and what to do about spills. The floor keeps its look because you know how to look after it.
