Why Choose Hardwood Flooring?

Hardwood flooring is an excellent choice for any homeowner. Its versatility, elegance, and long-lasting nature make it a preferred option for both new construction and remodeling projects. Here’s why hardwood floors remain a favorite:

Timeless Aesthetics

Hardwood floors add a natural beauty and warmth to any room. Available in a variety of species, colors, and finishes, hardwood complements almost any interior design style, from traditional to modern. Whether you opt for the rich grains of walnut, the light tones of maple, or the classic charm of oak, hardwood flooring brings out the character and charm of your home.

Durability and Longevity

Hardwood floors are built to last. They can withstand high foot traffic, moisture, and general wear and tear better than most other flooring types. A properly installed hardwood floor can last for generations, making it an excellent investment in your home.

Increases Home Value

Hardwood floors are highly desirable to homebuyers, and homes with hardwood flooring typically sell for more than those with carpet or tile. Installing hardwood floors is one of the best ways to enhance the resale value of your property.

Easy Maintenance

Hardwood floors are incredibly easy to maintain. Regular sweeping or vacuuming and occasional mopping will keep your floors looking pristine. Unlike carpets, hardwood floors do not trap dust, dirt, or allergens, making them a great choice for those with allergies.

Environmentally Friendly

At J&M Hardwood Floors, we offer eco-friendly hardwood flooring options that come from sustainably managed forests. Our products are designed to be environmentally conscious while still providing the beauty and durability you expect from hardwood floors.

The Hardwood Floor Installation Process

Installing hardwood floors involves several key steps to ensure a beautiful and lasting result. J&M Hardwood Floors follows a thorough and professional process to guarantee top-quality installation every time.

Step 1: Initial Consultation and Measurement

  • The first step in the installation process is a free consultation. Our team will come to your home to assess the area, take precise measurements, and discuss your style preferences. We’ll review various hardwood species, stains, and finishes, helping you select the perfect flooring for your home.
  • We will also evaluate your subfloor during this visit, as a solid and level subfloor is crucial for a smooth, long-lasting hardwood floor installation.

Step 2: Site Preparation

  • Once you've selected your hardwood floors, we begin the preparation process. This includes removing any existing flooring materials (such as carpet, tile, or old hardwood), ensuring that the subfloor is clean, level, and free from moisture. If necessary, we will make repairs to the subfloor to ensure it meets the necessary conditions for installation.
  • In some cases, especially in moisture-prone areas like basements or concrete floors, we may install an underlayment or vapor barrier to protect your hardwood from moisture damage. This ensures your floor stays in optimal condition.

Step 3: Acclimating the Wood

  • Before installation, it is essential to allow the hardwood to acclimate to the room's temperature and humidity levels. This step is particularly important for solid hardwood floors, as it prevents expansion or contraction once installed. We advise allowing the wood to acclimate for 48 to 72 hours in the room where it will be installed.

Step 4: Installation

When the wood has acclimated, we begin the installation process. Depending on your floor type, we may use different methods, including:

  • Nailing or Stapling: For solid hardwood floors, we will install the planks by nailing or stapling them into the subfloor using a nail gun.
  • Gluing or Floating: Engineered wood floors or laminate flooring may be installed using adhesive or a floating installation method, which does not require nails or staples.
We use high-quality adhesives and fasteners to secure each plank in place, ensuring a tight fit that prevents shifting over time. Our team works meticulously to ensure the boards are aligned, and the transitions between each piece are smooth.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

  • Once the installation is complete, we apply a finish or polyurethane to protect the wood and enhance its natural beauty. The finish also helps prevent wear and tear, making the floor easier to maintain. We offer various sheens, from matte to high gloss, to suit your aesthetic preferences.
  • Finally, our team takes care of the finishing touches, including installing baseboards, transitions, and molding. We will make sure the room is ready for you to enjoy immediately after the installation.

Hardwood Floor Maintenance Tips

To help keep your hardwood floors looking beautiful, here are some maintenance tips:
  • Regular Cleaning: Use a soft broom or a vacuum cleaner with a wood floor setting to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using a vacuum with a rotating brush, as this can scratch the surface.
  • Wipe Up Spills Quickly: Water and other liquids can damage hardwood floors if left to sit. Clean up any spills immediately with a microfiber cloth.
  • Protect High-Traffic Areas: Place rugs or mats in entryways, hallways, and other high-traffic areas to protect your floors from dirt and wear.
  • Refinishing and Sanding: Over time, your floors may start to show signs of wear. If necessary, our team can sand and refinish your hardwood floors to restore their original beauty.
