Pre-Finished Hardwood Floor Installation in Southeastern Wisconsin

Bring the beauty of hardwood into your home with a style that’s uniquely yours. At Wicks Wood Floors, Inc, we specialize in pre-finished hardwood installation, offering a wide range of colors, finishes, and styles, all with the convenience of a factory-applied protective coating.


With over 30 years of experience, our family-owned business has helped homeowners across Southeastern Wisconsin find the perfect hardwood to match their lifestyle and design vision. Ready to get started? Contact us today to schedule your free consultation.


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.


Hardwood Species & Styles We Offer

One of the biggest advantages of pre-finished hardwood is the design flexibility. With countless factory-finished options, you can choose the exact look and feel you want for your home.

  • Red Oak
  • White Oak
  • Hickory
  • Maple
  • Walnut
  • Ash
  • Cherry
  • Birch
  • Brazilian Cherry
  • And more


Plank Sizes


  • Wide-plank
  • Long-length boards
  • Traditional narrow styles


Finishes & Textures


  • Wire-brushed
  • Hand-scraped
  • Matte
  • Satin
  • Semi-gloss
  • High-gloss


Colors

  • Natural light tones
  • Deep espresso
  • Modern gray stains
  • And everything in between


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.

  • Direct owner involvement on every project
