Our experienced team installs both solid and engineered hardwood with precision and care, ensuring every board fits beautifully and stands the test of time. From classic oak to modern finishes, we help you choose the perfect flooring style to enhance your home’s value and comfort.
Solid Hardwood Installation
Solid hardwood floors are the gold standard of timeless beauty and longevity. Each plank is made from a single piece of natural wood, which can be sanded and refinished multiple times over its life.
This type of installation is ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where temperature and humidity are stable. Solid hardwood is typically nailed or stapled to a wooden subfloor, creating a strong, seamless foundation that feels sturdy underfoot.
If you’re looking for the classic warmth and authenticity of real wood that will last for generations, solid hardwood is the way to go.
Engineered Hardwood Installation
Engineered hardwood flooring offers the same natural appearance as solid wood but with added stability and moisture resistance. It’s constructed with multiple layers—natural wood on top and high-strength plywood underneath—which prevents warping and expansion in humid areas. This makes it a great choice for basements, kitchens, or homes near Lake Erie, where humidity can fluctuate throughout the year. Engineered floors can be glued down, nailed, or floated, depending on your subfloor and layout.
It’s a beautiful, durable, and practical solution that blends style with long-term performance.
Glue-Down Installation
The glue-down method is ideal for engineered hardwood or when installing over concrete subfloors. We use high-quality adhesive to create a tight, secure bond that reduces movement and eliminates hollow sounds underfoot.
This installation is often preferred in condos, commercial spaces, or homes with radiant heat, where nailing isn’t possible. The glue-down technique results in a quieter, more stable floor that feels solid and refined. It’s a great option for homeowners seeking a premium finish with maximum durability.
Nail-Down Installation
Nail-down installation is the traditional and most widely used method for solid hardwood floors. Each plank is precisely nailed to a wooden subfloor, ensuring a tight fit and eliminating gaps or movement.
This approach provides unbeatable strength and a classic feel that many homeowners love. It’s perfect for long-term installations where you want a sturdy, old-fashioned wood floor that can be refinished many times over the years.
Our experienced installers at Handsome Hardwood Floors use professional tools and techniques to ensure every nail is perfectly placed for lasting performance.
Floating Floor Installation
Floating floor installation is a modern, versatile option—especially popular for engineered hardwood. The planks are connected using a tongue-and-groove or click-lock system and “float” above the subfloor without nails or glue. This method allows for quick installation, minimal disruption, and easier replacement if future repairs are needed. Floating floors are ideal for spaces where you want flexibility and comfort, like finished basements or apartments.
They also provide excellent sound absorption and can be installed over underlayment for extra insulation and moisture control.
