Site-Finished Hardwood Floor Installation in Southeastern Wisconsin
Bring timeless craftsmanship and natural beauty into your home with site-finished hardwood flooring from Wicks Wood Floors, Inc. Unlike prefinished flooring, site-finished hardwood is installed as raw wood planks, then sanded, stained, and sealed right in your home. This process creates a seamless, custom look that enhances the character and value of your home for decades.
Contact us today to schedule a free in-home consultation and take the first step toward your custom hardwood floor.
Why Choose Site-Finished Hardwood?
Site-finished hardwood offers unique benefits compared to prefinished flooring:
- Custom stain options: Match cabinets, trim, or existing floors
- Choice of sheen: Matte, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss
- Seamless look: No beveled edges between boards
- Superior color blending: Ideal for matching with older or adjoining hardwood
- Long lifespan: Can be refinished multiple times for decades of use
Note: Because stain and finish are applied on-site, your floors may require a few days of drying and curing before heavy use or moving furniture back.
Our Site-Finished Hardwood Installation Process
Every project is unique, and we take the time to prepare properly so your new floor lasts for generations. Our detailed installation process may include:
- Old floor removal and disposal: Safe removal of existing flooring
- Subfloor installation and repair: Ensuring a stable, level foundation
- Floor patching and leveling: Correcting imperfections for a smooth surface
- Undercutting jambs, casings, and banisters: For a seamless, professional fit
- Precision hardwood installation: Laying unfinished solid or engineered planks
- Sanding, staining, and finishing: Applying your choice of stain and protective finish on-site for a smooth, durable surface
- Bona certified contractor
- Engineered and site-finished flooring experts
Our careful attention to detail means your new hardwood floors will not only look beautiful but also stand the test of time.
