Hardwood installation in Kaufman, TX

Usually, yes. We measure the height difference at each doorway first, then decide between building up the low side with self-leveling compound, using a purpose-made reducer, or feathering the transition across a wider run. On additions with more than about an inch of difference we'll say so up front, because that changes the price and the schedule more than the flooring choice does.

It's common in Kaufman houses from the 1960s and 70s and it needs handling properly, not scraping in a hurry. Depending on what's underneath, the right answer is mechanical removal or a proper encapsulation layer before the new floor. We'll look at it during the free estimate so it's priced in from the start rather than turning up as a surprise mid-job.

Yes. We offer financing through Synchrony and Wisetack, so a whole-house floor doesn't have to be paid in one lump. We'll bring samples to the house, measure, and give you a written estimate for free, no charge whether or not you go ahead. Once you decide, we can usually be starting within about two days.

It rules out anything that needs a fastener driven into the concrete, because the steel cables inside are under load and cutting one is a serious repair. On a wood floor that costs you nothing.

Yes, and it is common here. Wood handles a dropped glass and a wiped-up spill without complaint. What it does not handle is standing water under a dishwasher, or an ice maker line that weeps for a month before anyone notices. Use engineered rather than solid, seal the run where the floor meets the cabinets, and keep full bathrooms on another material.

Baseboards usually stay put. We install to the wall and finish with shoe molding, which is cleaner than pulling trim that was caulked and painted in place. Door casings get undercut so the plank slides beneath them rather than being scribed around them, and if the new floor sits higher, interior doors get trimmed at the bottom.
