Professional Engineered Hardwood Floor Installation — Backed by Warranty

Congratulations on choosing a premium hardwood floor — an investment in timeless style and long-term value.

Now comes the most critical step: professional installation.

We strongly discourage DIY installation. Improper techniques can lead to uneven finishes, damage to the flooring, and voided manufacturer and installation warranties. Correct installation requires expert knowledge of wood behavior, subfloor conditions, and precise technical execution — all of which our trained professionals bring to every job.

At Craft Team Flooring, our experienced installers specialize in hardwood flooring and have years of hands-on experience. Their attention to detail ensures your new floor is flawlessly installed for maximum beauty, performance, and longevity.

When you choose our team, your project is backed by a full installation warranty, giving you total peace of mind.

With a reputation for quality, craftsmanship, and reliability, we deliver results that truly protect and enhance your investment for years to come.

Hardwood flooring is a timeless option for both homes and commercial spaces — offering natural beauty and a warm, inviting feel that enhances any interior.

However, wood is naturally sensitive to moisture. Without proper protection, it can absorb humidity, causing warping, mold, or even rot over time.

That’s why professional installation matters. At Craft Team Flooring, we use high-quality moisture barriers and proven moisture control methods to ensure your floor stays beautiful and structurally sound for years to come.

Moisture control is just the beginning. Inaccurate subfloor leveling — common in DIY or low-quality installs — can lead to uneven boards, squeaking, gaps, and premature wear.

We offer complete supply, preparation, and installation packages that cover every step of your project — from removing old floors and leveling the subfloor to precise fitting and clean finishing with new baseboards.

Our team is known for its precision. We ensure tight tongue-and-groove joins, eliminate gaps, and secure lasting stability in every installation.

Each project is handled with care and attention to detail — delivering flawless, lasting results that hold up in both residential and commercial environments.

Engineered Floor Installation Methods &Material Considerations

One of the most common and reliable ways to install hardwood flooring is over a plywood or concrete subfloor, providing a stable foundation for both residential and commercial applications.

We also consider alternative installation methods such as joists, depending on your building’s structure and the flooring type.

At Craft Team Flooring, we offer two primary installation methods: glue-down and floating — each with unique advantages. We’ll assess your project scope, subfloor condition, and preferences to recommend the most practical, cost-effective approach.

Installation Methods: Glue-Down vs. Floating

Glue-Down Installation

This method involves permanently adhering hardwood boards to the subfloor using strong adhesives.

Advantages:

  • Strong, secure, and stable surface
  • Reduces movement and noise
  • Ideal for sanding and refinishing in the future
  • Compatible with underfloor heating systems (note: not common in California but possible)
  • Adds value due to its high-end, permanent nature

Disadvantages:

  • Requires extensive prep, including rough subfloor sanding and moisture barrier installation
  • Subfloor must be level and dry
  • More time-consuming and labor-intensive
  • Difficult to remove or replace boards
  • Higher installation cost

Floating Installation

Boards are connected over an underlay using click-lock or tongue-and-groove systems — without being glued to the subfloor.

Advantages:

  • Quicker and more affordable to install
  • Easy to replace individual boards
  • Sound-dampening underlay helps reduce noise — great for apartments
  • No adhesives or nails needed

Disadvantages:

  • Not suitable for sanding or refinishing
  • Slight movement or “flex” underfoot is possible
  • More prone to board expansion or shifting
  • Shorter lifespan compared to glue-down systems

Choosing the Right Hardwood for Your Space

Picking the best hardwood involves balancing durability, visual appeal, and long-term performance. Key factors include:

  • Board Thickness: Standard thickness ranges from 14–15 mm, often with a 3 mm wear layer. Some premium boards go up to 21 mm for extra durability.
  • Wood Species:
    • American hardwoods like Hickory, Maple, Walnut, and Oak are known for strength and beauty.
    • European Oak is a popular, more affordable option with a lighter tone.
    • Pine offers a softer surface at a lower cost — ideal for lighter-use areas.
  • Moisture Resistance: For high-moisture areas, choose species with natural resistance or pair with water-resistant finishes and underlays.

Professional Finishing Options

To protect and enhance your new hardwood floors, we offer professional sanding and polishing, including for solid Oak and American hardwoods. This process enhances the wood’s natural tone, increases durability, and ensures a long-lasting, low-maintenance finish.

For added safety, especially on staircases, we offer optional anti-slip coatings — giving you extra traction without sacrificing visual appeal.ote.
