Hardwood Flooring Installers in Houston, TX

Stairs and landings

Stairs need careful work so they are safe and look great. We install treads risers nosings and handrail transitions that match your new floor. If you want white risers with stained treads we can do that too.

Transitions and trim

We install baseboards or shoe molding to cover expansion gaps and finish the look. We make clean transitions to tile in kitchens to carpet in bedrooms and to exterior doors. No trip hazards no awkward gaps.

Subfloor prep and leveling

Houston slabs are not always flat. We check for dips and humps then level to the manufacturer’s standard. A flat base helps avoid squeaks and keeps boards tight. We also fill control joints as needed and handle door casing cuts for a clean fit.

Refinishing hardwood floors

If your hardwood looks dull scratched or yellowed refinishing can make it look new again. In many cases you do not need to replace the floor. Our refinishing team serves homes from The Heights to Sugar Land.

Here is how refinishing works

• Inspection and planning We check thickness species previous finishes damaged areas and pet stains.
• Dust control sanding We sand in steps moving through the grits for a smooth surface. We use dust containment equipment to keep your home cleaner.
• Stain or natural finish Choose a stain color or keep the natural wood tone. We can sample colors on your actual floor so you see it in your light.
• Finish coats We apply durable finishes that cure strong. Waterborne finishes have lower odor and dry faster. Oil modified finishes give a rich tone and classic look. We help you pick based on your needs.
• Final cure and care We explain cure times furniture pads and cleaning tips. Most homes can walk in socks within a day. Full cure takes longer. We will set clear expectations.

Handling Houston’s humidity

Houston’s humidity is real and your floors need to be ready for it. Our team manages moisture from day one.

• Moisture testing with pro grade meters for concrete and wood subfloors
• Acclimation so wood evens out with your indoor conditions before installation
• HVAC on for stable heating and cooling to help prevent cupping and gapping
• Vapor control on slabs with the right adhesive and barrier system based on readings
• Ongoing care with reasonable indoor humidity using exhaust fans and dehumidifiers when needed

What affects project cost

Every home is different and these are the main factors that shape your price

• Material choice including species grade width and finish type
• Solid vs engineered since engineered often costs more per square foot but can be the better fit for slabs
• Installation method since glue down over concrete takes more time and adhesive
• Subfloor prep including leveling and moisture mitigation when needed
• Stairs with extra labor and materials for treads and risers
• Trim and transitions such as baseboards shoe molding and thresholds
• Move out or occupied since working around furniture can add time
• Refinishing vs replace since refinishing is often more budget friendly if the floor has enough wear layer

Want a ballpark? Many Houston projects land within a set of common ranges but real pricing depends on your home. We are happy to measure check your slab or subfloor and give you a firm written quote that makes sense.

Compare hardwood engineered hardwood and LVP

We install hardwood and other flooring types for remodels across Houston. If you are deciding between options here is a quick view.

• Solid hardwood is real wood through and through. Can be refinished several times. Best over wood subfloors.
• Engineered hardwood is a real wood top layer over a stable core. Ideal for slabs. Can be refinished at least once in many cases depending on wear layer.
• LVP or SPC is waterproof and tough for utility spaces or rentals. Looks good but does not have the feel or long term value of real wood. Explore our vinyl flooring installation options.
