Hardwood installation in McLendon-Chisholm, TX

No, but we plan for it. We walk the drive during the estimate and decide whether the truck can reach the house or whether we shuttle the last stretch. Acreage properties out here actually make the job cleaner, because there is room to set up a cut station well away from the doors and keep the dust and noise outside the house.

The material does not change, but the labor can. Sonoma Verde floorplans repeat, so measuring and layout go quickly and there are few surprises. Older custom homes off FM 550 and Highway 205 have out-of-square rooms, hand-built stairs and additions poured at a different elevation, and all of that takes longer to do properly. We quote each house on what it actually is.

Either works. If you want something past the builder's standard package, it is often cleaner to take the base allowance and have us do the floors after closing. We bring samples to you, offer financing through Synchrony and Wisetack, and our own crew does the install with nobody subcontracted. Call (972) 564-5533 and we will talk through the timing around your closing date.

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. Engineered plank is either bonded to the surface with a urethane adhesive or floated over a pad, and neither method touches the inside of the slab.

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.
