Solid Hardwood Floor Installation in Calgary
We install oak, maple, hickory, walnut, and more, in site finished or prefinished options. Every installation includes proper acclimation to Calgary’s dry climate, moisture testing, and meticulous nail down installation. Hardwood is unforgiving of shortcuts, and our craftsmen do not take any.
Is Hardwood Right for Calgary's Climate?
Calgary’s dry air and seasonal swings mean hardwood must be acclimated and installed correctly to prevent gapping and cupping. We test moisture levels before installation and advise honestly. Where solid hardwood is not the right fit, such as basements, we will recommend engineered hardwood instead. You get the right floor, not just the sale.
The Value of Real Wood Floors
Hardwood consistently ranks among the top features Calgary homebuyers look for. Unlike other flooring, hardwood can be refinished multiple times over its life. A 50+ year floor is a genuine investment in your home.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does hardwood work in Calgary's dry climate?
Yes, when properly acclimated and installed. We moisture test every job and recommend engineered hardwood where solid wood is not suitable.
Solid vs engineered hardwood: what is the difference?
Solid is one piece of wood and can be refinished many times. Engineered has a real wood top layer over a stable core and handles humidity changes better. We will help you choose.
How long does installation take?
Prefinished hardwood takes 2 to 4 days for most homes. Site finished takes 5 to 8 days including sanding and finishing.
