Solid or engineered — we install both

Solid hardwood is the classic: thick boards you can sand and refinish for decades. Engineered hardwood has a real wood top over a stable core, so it handles moisture better — a good fit over concrete, in basements and in condos. We'll look at your subfloor and tell you which one makes sense.

  • Red oak, white oak, maple, hickory and more
  • Strip or wide plank
  • Nail-down, glue-down or floating installs

Sanded & finished on site

Unfinished hardwood is sanded flat after it's installed, so every board sits level with the next. Then we apply the stain you choose and seal it with coats of protective finish. The result is a smooth, seamless floor in exactly your color — not a factory shade.

  • Custom stain colors
  • Satin, semi-gloss or gloss finish
  • Matched to your stairs

Questions

Good to know

How much does hardwood floor installation cost in Newark, NJ?

Price depends on the wood (species, solid or engineered, plank width), the square footage, the subfloor and whether old flooring has to come out. We measure for free and give you a written price before any work starts.

How long does it take to install hardwood floors?

A few rooms usually take a few days from installation to final coat. Larger homes take longer. Your estimate includes the schedule and the drying time before furniture can go back.

Do I need to let the wood acclimate first?

Usually, yes. Hardwood should adjust to your home's temperature and humidity before it's installed so it doesn't gap or cup later. We'll plan the delivery and install dates around that.

Can you install hardwood over concrete?

Yes, typically with engineered hardwood glued down or floated over the right underlayment and moisture barrier. We check the slab first.

Do you install prefinished hardwood too?

Yes. Prefinished floors go in faster with no sanding on site; site-finished floors give you a custom color and a smoother, sealed surface. We'll explain the trade-offs at the estimate.
