A little bit about our process

There is a lot involved in installing a wood floor the right way. Below is a brief outline of the key steps involved in our hardwood floor installation process.

Preparation

is key

Before installation begins, we take the time to properly prepare the space to ensure a smooth and efficient installation. We inspect the subfloor, check for level and moisture, and make adjustments if needed for a solid foundation.

We also acclimate the wood to your home’s environment, protect surrounding areas, and carefully plan the layout to ensure proper alignment, flow, and balance throughout the space.

Moisture Control

Before the installation starts, we check the moisture conditions to protect your hardwood floors from future issues like cupping, gaps, or movement.

Depending on the type and width of the flooring, we apply the appropriate vapor protection. This may include moisture-blocking sealers applied directly to the subfloor, or vapor barrier papers installed under the wood.

Each installation is different, so we choose the system that best fits your floor and environment.

Layout and board placement

Before nailing down boards, we plan the layout of the floor. This includes establishing straight reference lines, and determining the best direction for the planks to create a balanced and natural flow.

Proper layout helps avoid awkward cuts, short end joints, and uneven patterns, ensuring a clean and professional look.

Precision installation

Once the layout is set, we begin installing the hardwood using the appropriate method for the flooring type and subfloor. This may include nail-down, glue-down, or floating systems.

Each board is secured with precision, keeping consistent spacing, tight joints, and proper expansion gaps to allow the floor to perform as intended over time.

Finishing details and transitions

After installation is complete, we focus on the finishing touches. This includes installing trims, saddles, and transitions, as well as inspecting the entire floor overall quality.

We finish by cleaning the area to ensure everything meets our standards and your expectations.

What Our Customers Say

Kyle refinished our original 1926 hardwood floors and was very thorough and detailed. He was responsive and answered all of our questions. There were a few things that needed fixed after the fact and he and his guys came back promptly to fix them. They had to patch a few areas on the floor and you can’t tell the between the original floor and their repairs because it blends so seamlessly. We’re very please with the work they did (we get compliments on our floor all the time) and I would absolutely recommend them.

Four flooring companies came in to assess the damage to our gouged maple kitchen floor caused by an appliance installation and walked away shaking their heads. Then HQ Flooring arrived ... they are artists and magicians. We remain in disbelief over what they were able to accomplish.

Stephen Yates

HQ flooring was amazing! From start to finish Ricardo went over the whole process, showed us multiple samples, explained the sheen and difference in polyurethane. He answered all of questions, no matter if early or late in the day. Ricardo and his crew installed some new hardwood flooring, sanded and stained! They did an amazing job with the floors and I highly recommend them! Thank you!

Richard Dinapoli Jr

Had a terrific experience with Caio and the team at HQ Flooring! They did a fantastic job refinishing our hardwood floors and replacing some old carpeting with luxury vinyl plank flooring. The entire process was fast, easy, and professional from start to finish. I really appreciated Caio taking the time to explain each step of the process and what we could expect from the finished result. When I was having trouble choosing a finish for the hardwood, he went above and beyond by sanding a small section of the floor and applying four different finishes so I could see exactly how each one would look on our actual floor. That made the decision so much easier. I was blown away by how beautiful the floors looked when everything was finished. Caio even refinished an additional room at no extra charge just to make sure everything looked consistent throughout the house. That kind of attention to detail and commitment to doing the job right really stood out to me. I truly appreciate Caio and the HQ Flooring team for going above and beyond. I would highly recommend HQ Flooring to anyone looking for quality flooring work and excellent customer service!

Kyle and his team did an exceptional job refinishing our floor, and honestly, the quality of their work genuinely surpassed our expectations. Even though it was a small job, Kyle took the time during the estimate to thoroughly explain everything, showing a level of professionalism that is hard to find. The project started and finished right on time, and the pricing was reasonable. Working with Kyle was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly recommended!
