We evaluate your rooms, adjoining floors, subfloor conditions and the result you want.
We plan the wood, dimensions, board direction, color, finish and transition details.
The wood is allowed to acclimate as appropriate while the installation surface is prepared.
Boards, tie-ins, transitions and thresholds are installed according to the approved plan.
Applicable floors are finished on site, followed by a final review and care guidance.

Plan a Cohesive Floor for an Addition or Remodel
The installation surface and site conditions are evaluated so the floor starts on the right foundation.
Doorways, thresholds, adjoining materials and finished heights are considered before installation.
Layout decisions affect how rooms feel, how sightlines connect and how the finished floor moves through the home.
Species, dimensions, age and finish are evaluated to determine whether matching or coordinating is more realistic.
Before installation: the project scope, removal needs, preparation and acclimation plan are confirmed for your specific home.
Species influences grain, natural color, hardness and how a stain will read on the finished floor.
Board selection affects natural variation, knots and whether the finished look feels quieter or more expressive.
Board dimensions change the scale, rhythm and visual movement of the floor throughout the room.
Natural tones, stain color and sheen complete the plan once the wood and layout decisions work together.
A few popular starting points-many more wood, stain and finish options are available

Special Walnut
Often, a close and cohesive result is possible. Species, age, board dimensions, color and sunlight exposure all affect whether matching, coordinating or refinishing connected areas together makes the most sense.
Each job is assessed when we visit your home. The existing material, what is underneath it, the subfloor and finished floor height help determine whether removal should be included in the project scope.
Finished floor height is considered during planning. Thresholds, transitions, door clearances and adjoining materials are reviewed so the connection can be handled intentionally.
Acclimation is based on the flooring material and the conditions inside the home-not a single rule for every job. Imperial Wood Floors determines the appropriate plan after evaluating the project and site conditions.
The installation surface must be suitable for the planned hardwood. Visible conditions are evaluated and any needed preparation is identified before installation.
Timing depends on project size, removal, preparation, acclimation, the flooring selected and whether sanding, staining and finishing are completed on site. You will receive a project-specific expectation after the in-home evaluation.
