NWFA Certified Family Owned
Dearborn's trusted hardwood
flooring authority
Dearborn carries a legacy of American craftsmanship. From the neighborhoods surrounding Greenfield Village to the estates in Dearborn Hills, this city values quality that endures. Our hardwood floors are built with that same philosophy.
Our showroom is in nearby Livonia on Seven Mile Road, so you can see wide plank samples milled by Michigan Plank Floor Covering before you choose.
Dearborn's housing stock includes some of Metro Detroit's most architecturally significant homes. Tudor revivals, Arts and Crafts bungalows, and mid century moderns each present unique flooring challenges. Our NWFA certified team has the experience to honor the original architecture while delivering modern performance.
We have refinished original hardwood in Dearborn homes dating to the 1920s. We have installed custom wide plank in new construction along the Rouge River corridor. Each project benefits from our forensic approach to subfloor evaluation and material specification.
Dearborn homeowners appreciate honest work and honest pricing. That is all we know how to deliver.

Dearborn Homeowner FAQs
Hardwood flooring questions answered.
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.
Both are exceptional when specified correctly. Solid hardwood is timeless but expands and contracts with Michigan's humidity swings. Premium engineered hardwood with a thick sawn face and marine grade core offers superior dimensional stability making it ideal for basements, radiant heat, and ultra wide planks.
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.
Absolutely. We custom fabricate treads, risers, and nosings from the same species and finish as your floor installation. The result is a seamless visual flow from room to staircase that looks like it was always meant to be there.
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.
