Solid and engineered hardwood installed, matched to adjoining rooms and finished for the demands of a working kitchen.
Wood floors give a kitchen warmth, and they flow naturally into adjoining rooms, which is why many Nashville homeowners choose to carry the same flooring through an open plan. Solid hardwood can be sanded and refinished many times. Engineered hardwood, built in layers, handles humidity changes better and suits many subfloors. Both can look beautiful in a kitchen, as long as the installation and finish are done with moisture and spills in mind.
We start by checking the subfloor for moisture, flatness and structure, and by looking at your existing floors if you want to blend new wood with old. We help you choose species, width, color and finish, then acclimate the material, install it with the right fastening or adhesive method and finish it with a hard-wearing coating. Transitions to other rooms are planned so floors meet cleanly. Where cabinets go in first or after depends on the plan, and we sequence the work to protect the finished floor. Finish choices deserve attention. A matte or satin coating hides scratches better than a high gloss, a lighter stain shows dust more easily than a mid-tone and a wire-brushed texture hides wear in a busy kitchen. We bring floor samples to your home so you can see them next to your cabinets and counters before you decide.
Moisture, flatness and structure are verified before any wood goes down.
