Hardwood Flooring in
Chelsea, Michigan

We are authorized dealers for Mercier, Lauzon, Viking, Cali Floors, Olde Wood Limited, Michigan Plank, and our own Custom Line. Every product is hand curated for Michigan's climate and our exacting installation standards.

Most residential installations take 3 to 5 days depending on square footage and subfloor conditions. However, we never rush. Our timeline includes proper acclimation, subfloor evaluation, and curing time to ensure a floor that lasts decades not just months.

Michigan's dramatic humidity swings from bone dry winters with forced air heat to humid summers cause wood to expand and contract. Without proper species selection, acclimation, and installation methods, floors can cup, gap, or buckle. Our NWFA Certified process accounts for every environmental variable.

In most cases, yes. With decades of experience working in Michigan's historic neighborhoods, we know the exact products and species used in many original builds. If an exact match isn't available, we can mill custom profiles or refinish your existing floors to create a seamless, unified look.

If the wood is structurally sound and the wear layer is sufficient, refinishing is almost always the better choice. It preserves the character of the original floor while delivering a modern finish. We evaluate every floor before recommending a path forward.

Common signs include squeaky floors, visible unevenness, hollow spots when you walk, or doors that don't close properly. We perform a full diagnostic evaluation using laser topography on every project before a single board is placed to identify and correct any subfloor issues.

In most Michigan homes, yes. We recommend maintaining 35 to 55% relative humidity year round. During winter, a whole home humidifier prevents excessive shrinkage and gapping. We can coordinate with your HVAC team to optimize your system for your specific wood species.
