HARDWOOD FLOORING
Hardwood flooring is a popular and timeless choice for residential and commercial spaces. It is a type of flooring made from real wood, typically derived from hardwood trees such as oak, maple, cherry, walnut, or hickory. Hardwood floors offer a natural and warm aesthetic that can enhance the beauty and value of a property. Our hardwood flooring installers in Cincinnati take care of installation and make sure your floors will look amazing and leave a lasting impression.
SOLID vs ENGINEERED HARDWOOD
Solid hardwood flooring is made from a single piece of wood and is generally thicker, providing the option for sanding and refinishing multiple times over its lifespan. Engineered hardwood consists of a thin layer of real wood veneer on top of a core made of plywood or high-density fiberboard (HDF). It offers greater stability and is less prone to expansion and contraction due to changes in humidity.

Durability
Hardwood floors are known for their durability and longevity. The hardness of the wood species determines its resistance to dents and scratches. Some species, like oak and maple, are particularly durable and can withstand heavy foot traffic and wear.
Property Value
Homes with hardwood floors tend to sell faster and at higher price points. Many homebuyers view hardwood flooring as a valuable asset and are willing to pay a premium for a home that features it.
Easy Maintenance
Hardwood floors are relatively easy to clean and maintain. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping are usually sufficient to keep them looking beautiful. Additionally, hardwood floors are less prone to trapping dust, allergens, and odors compared to carpets, which can be beneficial for those with allergies or respiratory issues.
Timeless Beauty
Hardwood flooring has a timeless and classic look that never goes out of style. It adds warmth, elegance, and a sense of luxury to any space, making it attractive to potential buyers.
INSTALLATION PROCESS
When hiring professionals for hardwood floor installation in Cincinnati, it's crucial to understand the entire process. Unlike some companies, My Friends Flooring provides full service, including prep work and cleanup. We discuss details, provide estimates, and follow meticulous installation steps.
ACCLIMATION
Take the time to acclimate your wood planks before installation is a vital step in maintaining the quality of your flooring. By storing the planks indoors for a recommended period of up to three days, you help prevent potential issues caused by expansion, shrinkage, and other damage.
INSTALLATION
The hardwood planks are then installed plank by plank. Depending on the chosen installation method (e.g., nail-down, glue-down, or floating), the planks are secured to the subfloor or locked together. Care is taken to maintain consistent spacing and alignment, ensuring a visually pleasing result.
TEAR OUT AND SUBFLOOR PREP
We start by carefully removing your old floor, ensuring a clean and efficient tear-out process. With meticulous attention to detail, we then proceed to install new subflooring, laying the foundation for a flawless installation.
CLEAN UP
Upon the successful completion of the installation process, our diligent crew will ensure that your home is left in impeccable condition, mirroring its original state when they first arrived. At My Friends Flooring Cincinnati, we prioritize the respect towards you and your living space.
