Hardwood Floor Installation in Denver
New construction, remodel, or replacement: we install solid hardwood floors built to last generations. Family-owned craftsmanship since 2004.
Floors That Will Still Look Stunning in 50 Years
Solid hardwood is the only flooring material that can be sanded and refinished multiple times over its lifetime. Installed correctly, it appreciates in value with your home. We've been installing hardwood floors in Denver homes since 2004, and we do it right the first time.
Expert Hardwood Floor Installation: Done Right the First Time
At Ceric Hardwood Floors, we treat every installation as a long-term investment in your home. That means we don't rush, we don't cut corners, and we don't leave until the floors are perfect. Our process begins well before the first plank goes down.
Proper Acclimation: The Step Most Contractors Skip
Wood is a living material that expands and contracts with changes in humidity and temperature. Before we install a single board, we allow your hardwood to acclimate to your home's environment for the appropriate period, typically 3–7 days. This critical step prevents gaps, cupping, and buckling after installation. Many contractors skip this to save time. We never do.
Subfloor Preparation
A beautiful floor is only as good as what's underneath it. We inspect and prepare your subfloor to ensure it's level, structurally sound, and free of moisture issues before installation begins. We address any problems we find, because installing over a compromised subfloor is a recipe for failure.
Installation Methods We Offer
- Nail-down installation (most common for solid hardwood)
- Glue-down installation (ideal for concrete subfloors)
- Floating installation (for specific engineered products)

Hardwood Installation FAQ
How long does hardwood floor installation take?
Most residential installations take 2–5 days depending on square footage and complexity. This includes subfloor preparation, installation, and finish application. We'll give you a specific timeline during your free estimate.
Do I need to move my furniture?
Yes, the installation area needs to be clear of furniture. We can help coordinate furniture moving if needed. We'll discuss this during your estimate so you're fully prepared.
What's the difference between solid and engineered hardwood?
Solid hardwood is a single piece of wood throughout and can be refinished many times. Engineered hardwood has a real wood veneer over a plywood core; it's more dimensionally stable and suitable for areas with humidity fluctuations. We install both.
