Hardwood Flooring in Pitt Meadows

Pitt Meadows sits low and wet between the rivers, so engineered hardwood is our usual pick for living areas here. It moves less than solid hardwood through damp winters and dry heated months.

Many Pitt Meadows jobs are townhouses and condos in Osprey Village and South Bonson, where we work within strata rules on hours, noise and underlay.

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.
