"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."
"We recently replaced our family room carpet with custom stained hickory. The whole team from 1 Wood Floors, Ed, Megan and Aaron were great to work with. The floor looks incredible and the color match was perfect."
Orchard Lake 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.
Lakefront homes experience elevated and fluctuating humidity levels that inland homes don't. This creates additional stress on wood flooring. We use species-calibrated moisture meters to test both the wood and your subfloor, and we often specify engineered or Rift & Quartered materials that handle these swings without cupping or gapping.
For lakefront environments, we typically recommend premium engineered hardwood or Rift & Quartered solid wood. Both offer superior dimensional stability in high-humidity environments. We also coordinate directly with your HVAC team to ensure your home's climate control supports the flooring long term.
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.
