Why engineered

Wood that stays where you put it.

Engineered for slab homes

A real wood wear layer over a cross-laminated core. It moves far less with San Diego's damp mornings and dry afternoons than a solid board does, which is what makes it the right floor to lay over a concrete slab.

Over 15 years installing it

Hardwood is the least forgiving floor we lay — the subfloor, the moisture reading and the expansion gap all have to be right before the first board goes down. We have been getting that right for over fifteen years.

A surface nothing imitates

This is wood, not a picture of it. The grain runs through the wear layer, every board is different, and it warms a room in a way no printed plank does.

See the room before you choose the wood.

Every finish we install, laid at its true size in eight real rooms — living room, kitchen, bedroom, hallway. Change the tone, the pattern and the direction, and watch the room's own light fall across it.

How it works

Hardwood is the one floor we won't rush. Here's exactly where the time goes.

Step 01

Measure & select

We measure the room, check the subfloor and take a moisture reading, and bring boards so you see the grain and tone in your own light. The visit is free and there's no obligation to book.

Step 02

Acclimate, 3–7 days

The boards sit in the room they're going into for three to seven days so they reach the same moisture as your home. This is the step that keeps the floor from cupping or gapping six months later, and it is not one we skip.

Step 03

Install, 1–2 days

Then we lay it, board by board, with the expansion gap the manufacturer specifies. One to two days depending on square footage, and we walk the finished floor with you at the end.

Questions

Do you install solid hardwood or engineered?

Engineered, and only engineered. Most San Diego homes are built on a concrete slab, and engineered hardwood is the product made for that — a real wood wear layer over a stable cross-laminated core. It is a genuine wood floor, not a substitute for one.
