Wood Floor InstallationYou've decided on hardwood floors for your home...excellent chioce! Installing hardwood flooring is a form of art and requires great attention to detail. A professional wood floor install prevents future issues like warping, cupping, or gaps, ensuring a solid hardwood floor will provide decades of durable service and resilience.
Understanding the installation process thoroughly, the local experts at Acme Hardwood Flooring guarantee a beautiful and precise installation by following these critical steps: |
- Site Assessment & Moisture Testing: We measure the relative humidity of your subfloor and rooms. This step prevents your hardwoods from expanding or shrinking excessively after being laid down.
- Wood Acclimation: Your wood is delivered days before the job to allow it to adapt to your home's unique climate.
- Subfloor Preperation: We clean, level and secure your subfloor to eliminate uneven surfaces.
- Precision Installation: Our craftsmen meticulously arrange the boards to showcase the best grain variations, securing them with commercial grade fastners and adhesive to ensure a squeak free floor
Hardwood RefinishAre your wood floors starting to look drab and dull? Have they lost their original sheen over the years? To protect your investment and keep your wood floors looking new, it is recommend that your hardwoods receive a fresh coat of finish every 5 to 8 years.
If your floors only have minor surface scratches or a faded top layer, a full sand and finish may not be necessary; instead, a resurfacing treatment can quickly restore the top protective coat. However, when deep scratches, sun fading, or old wax buildup damage the wood, a complete sand and finish is needed to revitalize the character of your home. Our complete hardwood flooring refinish process includes: |
- Low Dust Sanding: We efficiently sand down old finishes, deep scratches, and embedded dirt and grime. We use modern dust-containment systems so we do not leave dirt in your new floors.
- Custom Stain: If you choose to change your wood floor's color, we apply a high quality interior wood stain. This step highlights the natural wood patterns while giving your rooms a fresh look.
- Protective Coating Application: We apply multiple layers of durable, commercial-grade polyurethane or specialized sealers. This seals out moisture and protects your floors against daily foot traffic.
Wood Flooring RepairIt is common over the years for hardwood floors to show small splits or cracks in the surface of the wood, particularly in high-traffic areas like hallways and kitchens. The occasional furniture dent, pet scratch, ding, or small water stain can also occur.
Ignoring these minor issues can allow a more costly problem in the future. Fortunatly, a complete sand and refinish is not always necessary. Our team will thotoughly assess your flooring situation and offer a targeted repair plan. Our standard repair process involves: |
- Damage Evaluation: We check if the problem is cosmetic or if a board needs to be replaced entirly due to issues such as deep water damage.
- Board Replacement: For isolated damage, we carefully remove compromised boards and slide in matching replacements without disturbing the surrounding hardwoods.
- Seamless Blending: We expertly match the species, grain pattern, and color of the repaired area, giving you a brand-new-looking floor that shows absolutely no sign of previous damage.

What type of hardwood flooring should you choose?
There are a lot of reasons to love hardwood floors. Not only are they beautiful, but are also easy to clean, and hypoallergenic. Hardwood floors will increase the value of your home, and because they usually represent a significant investment, you'll want to choose wisely. Options today include dozens of styles & sizes, but there are two basic categories: Traditional solid wood and Engineered wood. Solid wood is exactly what you would expect, each floorboard is milled from a solid piece of wood such as White Oak, Red Oak, Maple, Cherry etc. Engineered wood is made of three or more sheets of wood that are laminated together to form a single plank. Ultimately, your hardwood choice is going to be determined by where you're planning on installing the product and what you are looking for in terms of design aesthetics.
