Why Choose Hardwood Flooring in Vancouver Homes & Businesses?
Hardwood flooring offers timeless appeal and unmatched longevity compared to many other flooring types. Whether you prefer wide-plank oak, maple, walnut, or modern engineered hardwood, a properly installed hardwood floor can last for decades and significantly elevate the look of your space.
- Long-term durability: Hardwood floors can often be refinished multiple times, extending their lifespan.
- Increased property value: Hardwood is consistently ranked among the top ROI flooring upgrades.
- Timeless aesthetics: Works with modern, traditional, and luxury interiors.
- Cleaner indoor air quality: No trapped dust or allergens like carpet.
- Wide design flexibility: Multiple species, plank widths, stains, and finishes.
Vancouver homeowners often choose hardwood for living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, offices, and open-concept main floors where warmth, sound control, and visual continuity matter most.
Types of Hardwood Flooring We Install
Solid Hardwood Flooring
Solid hardwood is milled from a single piece of wood and offers unmatched authenticity and long-term value. It is ideal for above-grade installations where moisture is controlled. Solid hardwood can be sanded and refinished multiple times, making it a true lifetime floor when properly installed and maintained.
Engineered Hardwood Flooring
Engineered hardwood consists of a real hardwood veneer bonded to a stable plywood or HDF core. This construction provides enhanced dimensional stability, making engineered hardwood ideal for Vancouver condos, concrete slabs, and radiant-heated floors where solid hardwood is not recommended.

Our Hardwood Floor Installation Process
- Free consultation & measurement: We assess layout, moisture levels, and subfloor condition.
- Subfloor preparation: Grinding, levelling, and repairs to meet industry flatness standards.
- Moisture testing & barriers: Essential for Vancouver’s coastal humidity and long-term performance.
- Precision installation: Nail-down, glue-down, or floating systems as recommended for your product.
- Detail finishing: Transitions, stair nosings, trims, and expansion gaps completed cleanly.
- Final walkthrough: Care instructions, maintenance recommendations, and client approval.
Proper installation is just as important as the hardwood itself. Incorrect moisture control is the leading cause of hardwood floor failure in the Lower Mainland. For more technical information on moisture limits and subfloor tolerances, see our hardwood installation guide .
Subfloor Preparation & Moisture Control
Hardwood flooring demands a flat, dry, and stable subfloor. Skipping this step leads to squeaks, movement, gapping, and long-term damage that can void product warranties.
- Concrete grinding & levelling
- Plywood inspection & reinforcement
- Moisture testing & vapor barriers
- Radiant heat compatibility checks
