Wilmington’s humidity and salt air can impact wood stability. That’s why we recommend engineered hardwood for many coastal homes—it resists moisture and expansion better than traditional solid wood. Our experts test moisture levels before installation to ensure long-term durability.
Installation timelines vary based on project size, material type, and preparation needs. Most single-room installations can be completed within several days, while larger projects may take longer due to acclimation and finishing time. We provide clear scheduling during your consultation to minimize disruption.
Solid hardwood is crafted from a single piece of wood and can be refinished multiple times, offering timeless appeal. Engineered hardwood has a real wood surface over a stable core that resists humidity changes—perfect for Wilmington’s coastal conditions
Yes. Our dustless sanding and refinishing services restore worn floors to their original beauty. If your floor shows signs of dullness, scratches, or uneven coloring, refinishing can revive it without the need for a full replacement.
