30 years of NWFA mastery for Mill Creek homes and Webster Township estates
NWFA Certified 30 Years Experience
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. Our 30-year NWFA mastery ensures a gap-free, squeak-free life for your hardwood. 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 a 30-year NWFA Certified Master and Licensed Michigan Builder. 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 zero-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 free forensic evaluation including moisture testing, subfloor mapping, and environment assessment.

What your neighbors are saying
"We built a new home in Webster Township and Ed coordinated directly with our HVAC contractor to calibrate the humidity for our Mercier hardwood. The floors have been through two Michigan winters with zero gaps. His forensic approach to moisture is unlike anything we have seen."
"Great experience working with 1 Wood Floors installing our new solid wood floor. Megan helped us select the perfect species and Aaron's installation was flawless. The attention to detail from start to finish was exceptional."
"We had a great experience with our flooring install. Our installer Aaron was very professional, he set the standard by which everyone will be judged against. He cleaned up everyday and the way he put the extra effort in to level and prep our floor the right way made us very glad that we got our flooring here. They make the floors themselves and the product speaks for itself. We looked around at many places and couldn't find anything comparable to their product."
Dexter Homeowner FAQs
Hardwood flooring questions answered.
Yes. We provide complimentary on site consultations where 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 process is 100% dust-free, 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.
