Hardwood Floor Installation in Vancouver — Engineered & Solid Wood, Professionally Installed

Engineered Hardwood

A hardwood wear layer over a stable core — ideal for condos and homes that need better movement control. Works well over approved subfloors with nail-down, glue-down, or float systems.

• Excellent for strata condos and upper floors.
• Less movement than traditional solid in coastal climates.
• Wide planks and contemporary colours.

Solid Hardwood

Full-thickness wood designed for multiple refinishes over the life of the floor. Best suited to stable, well-prepared subfloors and spaces with controlled humidity.

• Classic character and long-term refinishability.
• Great for feature rooms and main floors.
• Requires careful humidity and moisture management.

Prefinished vs Site-Finished

We install both prefinished hardwood (factory-finished boards) and site-finished systems where sanding and finishing occur on-site as part of a multi-trade project.

• Prefinished: faster installs, less on-site odour.
• Site-finished: custom stains and seamless transitions.

Species & Visuals

Oak, maple, hickory and more — in wire-brushed, matte, or classic finishes. We help match your hardwood choice to natural light, existing trim, and cabinetry so the floor ties your whole space together.

Nail-Down Over Wood Subfloors

Traditional installation over plywood or OSB using approved fasteners and patterns for a solid underfoot feel. We set fastener schedules to manufacturer spec and address squeaks before planks go down.

Glue-Down Over Concrete

For engineered hardwood bonded directly to prepared slabs with appropriate adhesives and moisture mitigation where required. Ideal for main-floor condos and commercial spaces.

Floating Systems

Certain engineered products can float over underlay, giving comfort and sound control with limited disruption to existing substrates.

When to Consider Vinyl Instead

In heavy moisture or “tough-on-floors” environments, you may be better served by vinyl plank flooring installation for waterproof performance with wood visuals. We’ll walk you through pros and cons during your estimate.

Living Areas & Bedrooms

Warm, quiet, and timeless. Hardwood elevates main living spaces, dining rooms, and bedrooms — especially where you want a long-term floor that can be refreshed with refinishing in future.

Stairs & Landings

We handle nosings, returns, stringers, and skirt boards so your staircase feels solid and looks intentional from every angle.

Feature Rooms & High-Value Spaces

Use hardwood in key rooms you want to showcase, then pair with tile or vinyl plank in higher-moisture or utility areas.

When to Avoid Hardwood

Full wet rooms, constantly damp basements, or heavy commercial kitchens are better served by tile or vinyl. We’ll give clear recommendations when hardwood is not the best fit for long-term performance.

Daily Care

Sweep or vacuum with a hardwood-safe head, then damp mop with manufacturer-approved cleaners. Avoid steam mops and standing water to protect boards and joints.

Protection Tips

Use felt pads, area rugs, and entry mats to reduce grit and scratching. Maintain stable humidity where possible to minimize gapping and cupping.

Warranty Support

We install to manufacturer specifications and back our workmanship. If a warranty concern arises, we help document site conditions and work with the supplier to streamline any claim.
