Site-finished floors have some unique benefits that set them apart from their counterparts. Here are some of the reasons our customers choose these floors:
Site-finished hardwood floors offer exceptional customization. With a wide range of finishes, textures, and stains, homeowners can personalize their floors to complement their unique style and décor.

Site-finished hardwood floors offer a smooth surface without visible gaps or seams between planks. This seamless aesthetic creates a more elegant, cohesive look for any room and enhances the overall design of your home.
One of the greatest advantages of site-finished hardwood is its ability to be sanded and refinished over time. Unlike pre-finished hardwood floors, which may be more difficult to restore, site-finished floors can be revitalized multiple times, ensuring your floors remain stunning for years to come.
The timeless appeal and long-lasting durability of site-finished hardwood floors are a significant asset to your home’s value. Potential buyers often appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of hardwood flooring, making it a wise investment that can increase resale value.
The day has come to install your brand new site finished hardwood floors! Here’s the process you can expect our technicians to follow on installation day.
The process begins after the materials sit in the space for up to a week to acclimate to the space to avoid warping. After removing any existing flooring and measuring the space, our professional installers will loose lay the planks to plan out your new floors.
Once the planks are in place, they are nailed and stapled to the floor. Once this is done, our installers will sand the planks to ensure a smooth surface.
Next, it's time to customize your new floor. This means staining the planks with your chosen color. Lastly, a protective finish is applied to ensure the flooring lasts for years to come.

Site-finished hardwood flooring refers to wood flooring that is installed in its raw, unfinished state. Once installed, the wood is sanded, stained, and sealed on-site to create a customized, smooth finish. This process allows for more color and finish options compared to pre finished hardwood.
The installation time for site finished hardwood flooring depends on the size of the project and the specific wood species. Typically, it can take 1-2 days for the installation, with additional time required for sanding, staining, and finishing. The entire process may take up to 5-7 days, depending on the finish and drying times.
Site finished hardwood offers a more customizable finish compared to pre finished options. It allows you to choose from a variety of stains and finishes, ensuring a perfect match for your interior design. It also provides a seamless look without visible edges or joints between planks.
Caring for site finished hardwood floors involves regular sweeping or vacuuming to remove dirt and debris, as well as occasional mopping with a damp (not wet) cloth and a wood-safe cleaner. It’s also important to protect the floor from scratches and dents by using felt pads on furniture and placing rugs in high-traffic areas.
Yes, one of the key advantages of site finished hardwood flooring is that it can be refinished multiple times throughout its lifespan. This makes it a durable, long-term option for homes, as you can restore the wood’s beauty and finish without needing to replace the flooring entirely.
The main drawbacks are the extended installation time and the fact that you must wait for the finish to cure before using the floor. There can also be more dust and fumes due to the sanding and finishing process, although proper ventilation and precautions can mitigate this.
Site finished hardwood floors offer several finish options, including oil-based polyurethane, water-based polyurethane, penetrating oils, and hard-wax oils. Each finish type has its own advantages, such as durability, appearance, and ease of maintenance. Oil-based finishes tend to provide a richer color, while water-based finishes dry faster and have less odor.
Site-finished hardwood floors can be more expensive than pre-finished options due to the labor-intensive process of sanding, staining, and finishing on-site. However, the cost can vary depending on the type of wood and finish selected. Many homeowners choose site-finished floors because of the superior customization and long-term value.
Choosing the right wood species depends on your aesthetic preferences, budget, and desired durability. Common species for site-finished hardwood floors include oak, maple, walnut, and hickory. Oak is popular for its durability and classic look, while walnut offers a rich, dark finish. It’s important to consider how the wood will react to staining and finishing, as some species absorb finishes differently.
With proper care and refinishing when needed, site finished hardwood floors can last for decades. The durability largely depends on the species of wood, the quality of the installation, and how well the floor is maintained.
The main difference lies in the finishing process. Site-finished hardwood floors are installed in their raw, unfinished form and are finished on-site, allowing for a customized look. Pre-finished hardwood floors come with a finish applied at the factory, which makes them quicker to install but offers less flexibility in terms of custom finishes.
