WHERE TO START
CHOOSE YOUR FLOORING

Every species of wood brings its own color, grain pattern, durability and character to a floor. The species you choose—and the way the wood is cut—can make a noticeable difference in the look and feel of your newly installed floor.
Here are some popular flooring options:
DID YOU KNOW?
The way a board is cut can change the grain you see. Plain Sawn gives you the familiar, traditional grain pattern, while Quarter Sawn creates a straighter grain with distinctive figuring. Same tree. Very different floor.

THE WOOD MATTERS
When choosing a new floor, the wood itself has a big impact on the finished color and how it looks in your home. Oak, maple, ash, pine and American cherry each have their own natural tones and grain. The species you choose can help create a warmer, lighter, richer or more natural look, depending on the style of your home.
MATCHING AN EXISTING FLOOR
Matching an existing floor takes experience. We specialize in repairing, refinishing and restoring hardwood floors, including older and historic floors. We carefully match the wood species, grain, size, age, color and finish so new work blends naturally with the original floor and preserves its character. We can even source reclaimed wood to help maintain the integrity and character of a historic space.
DID YOU KNOW?
Red oak looks lighter than white oak and American cherry naturally deepens in color as it ages. The natural color and grain of each wood species affect how a hardwood floor looks, while sunlight and age can change its appearance over time. Matching an existing floor takes an expert understanding of the wood itself.

MAKE IT YOUR OWN
DETAILS THAT DEFINE
The details can make a real difference to your finished floor. From board size to patterns and textures, we’ll help you explore the options and create a look and feel that works for your home.


WIDTHS & LENTHS
The size and proportions of your boards can influence the scale, style and overall feel of a room. The right combination can complement your home’s architecture and create anything from a classic, traditional look to a more open, contemporary feel.
PATTERNS & TEXTURES
Hardwood doesn’t have to follow a standard layout. Patterns, borders, and textures can add movement, define a space and give the floor a character all its own.
DID YOU KNOW?
The direction and pattern of your hardwood can change how large or spacious a room feels. Planks, herringbone and parquet each create a different visual rhythm. The right layout isn’t just about style – It can help shape the entire feel of the space.
