We install solid and engineered hardwood (oak, maple, hickory, etc.) for a timeless look. Our team handles subfloor prep, precise plank placement, and finishing touches like staining and sealing. (Hardwood projects typically require careful acclimation and can take about 8–13 days from delivery to finish.)
We fit wall-to-wall carpet in many styles and fibers, with professional padding and stretching for comfort. We help you choose the right carpet for bedrooms, living areas, or stairs and install it to manufacturer standards.

Each installation includes removal of old flooring, detailed subfloor preparation, and finishing touches like baseboards or transitions. We use drop cloths and protect surrounding areas to minimize dust. A typical project involves:
You clear the room of furniture and fragile items (our team can assist with moving heavy pieces if needed). We lay down mats or covers to protect remaining furniture, walls, and trim from dust and debris.
On install day, our fully equipped crew arrives and completes the work efficiently. Depending on the flooring type, this may involve laying planks, cutting and adhering tile, or stretching carpet. Small rooms can often be done in one day; larger or complex jobs (like multiple rooms or herringbone patterns) may take 2–3 days.
Throughout the job, we vacuum and collect debris. After installation, we remove all scrap and clean the area so your home “looks as good as it feels.” The final steps include installing trim and moldings and a thorough walkthrough to ensure everything meets our high standards.
As one satisfied homeowner notes, we keep every job “smooth and hassle-free” by managing on-site estimates, furniture moving, and debris disposal.
We back our artistry with a 1-year installation warranty, giving you peace of mind that any issues will be addressed. For floor care, we advise following manufacturer guidelines (e.g., damp mop hardwood, vacuum carpet regularly). Proper maintenance will keep your floors looking new for years.

ost rooms are finished in 1–3 days. Solid hardwood requires extra acclimation time (typically 1–2 weeks) plus installation, so that a whole-house hardwood job can take about 8–13 days. Vinyl or carpet installations are generally quicker.
We take care to minimize mess. Crews cover surfaces and use equipment to keep dust low. After work, we vacuum and clean your home so it is neat.
Yes, please clear the work area of furniture and breakables. Our team can help move heavy sofas or beds if needed, but smaller items should be removed in advance.
All installations are backed by a one-year artistry warranty. We provide post-install care instructions (cleaning tips and maintenance). If any issue arises during that period, we will return to fix it at no cost.
