Our Pre-Finished Hardwood Installation Process
While pre-finished flooring comes ready to install, proper preparation is key to long-lasting results. Our process may include:
- Old floor removal & disposal
- Subfloor installation or repair
- Floor patching & leveling for stability
- Undercutting jambs, casings, and banisters
- Precision installation of pre-finished solid or engineered planks
Because the finish is applied in the factory, there’s no on-site sanding or staining, meaning less dust, faster installation, and immediate enjoyment of your new floors.

Solid vs. Engineered Pre-Finished Hardwood
Solid Hardwood
- Constructed from a single piece of wood
- Can be refinished multiple times
- Ideal for traditional applications
Engineered Hardwood
- Multi-layer design for enhanced stability
- Great for wide planks and below-grade installations
- Most common choice for pre-finished flooring
Both options come with durable factory-applied finishes that resist scratches, scuffs, and daily wear.
Why Choose Pre-Finished Hardwood?
Pre-finished hardwood is perfect for homeowners seeking both style and convenience:
- Design variety: Hundreds of color, texture, width, and sheen options
- Durable factory finish: UV-cured and scratch-resistant coatings not available on-site
- Time-saving: Ready for foot traffic immediately after installation
- Consistent look: Uniform stain and finish on every plank
- Low disruption: No sanding dust, fumes, or drying delays
Note: Pre-finished flooring typically includes micro-beveled edges, creating subtle seams between planks. This adds character but differs from the seamless look of site-finished floors.
