Engineered Hardwood Installation

What This Service Involves

Engineered planks use a genuine hardwood veneer over a stable plywood core, so they expand and contract far less than solid wood in our damp climate. That stability makes them a smart choice for main floors, basements, and homes with radiant heat where solid boards can struggle. We install using glue-down, floating, or nail-down methods depending on your subfloor and space. You get the look of authentic wood grain with construction engineered for Northwest conditions.

Benefits

Dimensionally stable in humid and variable climates; compatible with concrete slabs and radiant heat; installs over more subfloor types than solid wood; genuine wood veneer looks indistinguishable from solid boards

Our Process

1) Evaluate subfloor type and select install method; 2) Prep and level the surface as needed; 3) Lay planks by glue, float, or nail; 4) Install trim and finish transitions

What Affects the Cost

Veneer thickness and core quality; chosen installation method; room size and door or transition count; underlayment or moisture barrier needs; removal of old flooring

Best Time of Year

Engineered floors tolerate year-round installation, though scheduling during drier months simplifies material handling and site conditions.
