Hardwood Flooring in Mission

We are based in Mission, so hardwood jobs here are easy to measure, quick to start and easy to come back to if anything needs a look after the floor settles in.

Older homes near downtown and the river often have uneven subfloors that need work before hardwood goes down, while newer homes in Cedar Valley usually just need the carpet out and engineered hardwood in, with the stairs to match.

Solid or engineered?

Solid hardwood is wood all the way through and can be sanded many times. It needs a wood subfloor and a stable indoor climate, so it suits main floors and bedrooms. Engineered hardwood has a real wood top on a layered core that moves far less with humidity, which suits our wet winters and dry heated months, and it can go over concrete.

How we install it

We check the subfloor for flat and screw down anything that moves. Solid hardwood is nailed down over the right underlayment. Engineered is nailed, glued or floated depending on the subfloor. Boards are laid out from a straight reference line, racked so the joints are spread out, and the expansion gap is left at every wall so the floor can move without buckling.

Then the finish work: door casings undercut so the floor slides under, transitions fitted, stair nosings matched, and baseboard installed tight to the new floor.
