Solid and engineered hardwood installation
Hardwood Installation done the right way.
Wide-plank hardwood floor installation for craftsman, Spanish, and contemporary homes across Los Angeles.
The work, in context.
Hardwood installation in Los Angeles sits at the intersection of slab conditions, climate, and design. Most homes we work in sit on concrete or older pier-and-beam systems, and each needs a different underlayment and fastening strategy. We install solid hardwood where the subfloor allows and engineered systems where slab moisture, radiant heat, or low floor clearance rules out a solid board. Plank width, board length, species, and grade all shape the final read of the room — and those choices are made before a single piece of wood is ordered.
A hardwood floor installed over a bad substrate will cup, gap, or fail at the seams within a season. The install is the part you can't redo without pulling the floor back up. We spend real time on moisture readings, leveling, and acclimation because those steps are what separate a 40-year floor from a two-year callback.

Common questions.
What hardwood species do you install most often?
White oak is the most requested, but we also install walnut, maple, hickory, and engineered hardwood based on the home, traffic level, and finish goals.
Do you install both solid and engineered hardwood?
Yes. We recommend the system that best fits the slab, subfloor, room conditions, and the final look you want.
How long does a hardwood installation take?
For a typical single-story Los Angeles home, installation runs about one to two weeks from delivery to final trim, depending on square footage, subfloor condition, and whether the floor is site-finished. We schedule acclimation days into the timeline rather than skipping them.
