New Hardwood Floor Installation: Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to do to prepare for my installation?
We ask that you remove all furniture, decor, and breakable items from the rooms where we will be working. We can coordinate with your painter if walls are being painted, but all other work should be complete. We will handle the removal of your old flooring and all subfloor preparation.
How long does a new hardwood installation take?
This depends on the size of the area, the type of wood, and the complexity of the layout. A typical installation (e.g., 500-1000 sq. ft.) often takes 2-4 days. If we are also sanding and finishing unfinished wood on-site, the entire process can take 5-7 days due to drying times.
What's the difference between pre-finished and site-finished hardwood?
- Pre-finished: The planks arrive from the factory already sanded, stained, and sealed with a highly-durable finish. The installation is faster and cleaner, as there is no sanding or fumes.
- Site-finished (Unfinished): We install the raw, unfinished wood planks first. Then, we sand the entire floor smooth, apply your custom stain color, and seal it on-site. This gives you a perfectly uniform, table-top smooth finish and limitless color options.
Should I choose solid or engineered hardwood?
It depends on your subfloor and location. Solid wood is a timeless classic, but it’s not recommended for basements or concrete slabs. Engineered wood is more dimensionally stable, making it the perfect choice for concrete subfloors, areas with higher humidity (like kitchens), or over radiant heat. We will inspect your home and recommend the best option during your consultation.

Andy and his team did a terrific job refinishing our old, well-worn, and much loved spruce floors. The crew were skilled and professional, and they worked efficiently and effectively to get the job done. The floors look bright, warm, and beautiful again. I wholeheartedly recommend Northwest Hardwood Flooring!

March 31, 2021We highly recommend Northwest Hardwood Flooring. We contacted Andy for a bid and he was out the next day with a reasonable bid. Andy and his crew ( Ryan, Sam, Dan ) removed old carpet and installed new oak flooring with inlay in our dinning room and living room. The whole project took less than a week to finish and is absolutely Beautiful.

Anthony Gibbons
June 19, 2025My husband and I were overwhelmed by the work of Andy and his crew. They took a floor that seemed beyond repair to one that looks brand new. Like a million bucks, quite honestly. We highly recommend Northwest Hardwood Flooring. Also, they were always on time --- for providing an estimate, for starting the job, and for completing the job. We will never hire any other company to refinish or install our floors.

April 28, 2019We have some experience as homeowners with hardwood and fir floor installers and refinishers, and these are the folks. Andy and Jake know their craft, have good suppliers, and they themselves with their associate Sam were the install crew. Beautiful work, on time, got just the wood we asked for at a good price, can't think of what could've gone better.

June 4, 2025Andy and crew installed and finished new hardwood floors throughout our two story home and the nosed treads for our new staircas. Andy was easy to work with and fair, answered all of my questions, didn't pressure me in any direction, and showed up and followed through as promised. His crew was hardworking and professional. Andy followed up to make sure everything was as we wanted and that we were happy with the work.
