Dexter's trusted hardwood
flooring authority
Whether you are restoring a century old home near Mill Creek Park or finishing a new build in Webster Township, we ensure your floors are acclimated to Dexter's specific environmental conditions. With 30+ years in Michigan and Four NWFA Certifications, we acclimate and test every floor before it goes down. Dexter's blend of historic charm, Huron River proximity, and natural beauty makes it one of Washtenaw County's most desirable communities and one of our favorite places to work.
Dexter's proximity to the Huron River and surrounding lakes creates specific moisture considerations that most installers overlook. We coordinate directly with HVAC teams to ensure proper environment acclimation and humidity management for every installation. For homes near Mill Creek and Historic Downtown Dexter, we perform forensic crawlspace evaluations and install vapor barriers before any hardwood is placed.
Unlike big box showrooms and revolving sub contractors, you work directly with the owner, with 30+ years in hardwood, Four NWFA Certifications and a Michigan residential builder license. We specify premium hardwood from brands like Lauzon, Mercier, and Viking matched to Dexter's unique moisture profile. We offer every finish system in the professional trade: water based polyurethane for fast cure clarity, oil modified polyurethane for rich amber warmth, hardwax oil for a natural European hand, and Instant UV Cure for minimal downtime results.
From refinishing original hardwood in Historic Downtown Dexter to installing custom wide plank in new construction along the Webster Township corridor, our team delivers consistent NWFA Certified results backed by a Licensed Builder's structural warranty. Every Dexter project begins with our $50 estimate visit including moisture testing, subfloor mapping, and environment assessment.

Dexter Homeowner FAQs
Hardwood flooring questions answered.
Yes. Our estimate visit is $50. We evaluate your subfloor, discuss material options, and provide a detailed project scope. No salespeople just our NWFA Certified team giving you honest, expert guidance.
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.
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.
Our dust control system captures 98% of dust at the source using industrial dual motor HEPA vacuums. While no sanding process is completely clean, our containment methods are dramatically cleaner than traditional sanding. We also hang specialized barriers to seal off your workspace.
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.
