A wood floor is one of the most lasting upgrades you can make to your home - but only when it is installed correctly. For more than four decades, Wood Floors Houston has been installing custom hardwood floors throughout Houston, The Woodlands, Spring, Conroe, Kingwood, Humble, Pearland, Missouri City, Tomball, Cypress, Katy, and nearby Texas communities, and we handle every step in-house: subfloor prep and leveling, moisture testing, layout, fastening, and the final finish. No subcontractors, no shortcuts.
Whether you are putting wood floors into a new build, replacing tile or carpet, or extending an existing floor into a new room, we help you choose the right product and installation method for your space, your subfloor, and your budget - then we install it so it looks and feels like it has always belonged there.
What we install
From wide-plank oak to intricate inlays, we install the full range of wood flooring used in Houston-area homes:
- Solid hardwood - red and white oak, maple, hickory, and exotic species, nailed or stapled over wood subfloors
- Engineered hardwood - dimensionally stable for slab-on-grade and humid rooms, glued down or floated
- Glue-down wood floors installed directly over properly prepped concrete slabs
- Floating floors over moisture barriers and underlayment for fast, clean installations
- Laminate flooring where a hard-wearing, budget-friendly look is the goal
- Custom stairs, treads, and risers, plus borders, medallions, and patterned and diagonal layouts
Built for the Houston climate
Houston's heat and humidity are hard on wood floors. Boards expand in the muggy summer and contract when the air conditioning runs, and a slab that holds moisture can ruin a floor from below. That is why every installation starts with the parts you never see:
- Moisture testing of the slab or subfloor before a single board goes down
- Floor leveling and grinding so the finished floor is flat and quiet underfoot
- Concrete padding, vapor barriers, and the correct adhesive for glue-down jobs
- Proper acclimation of the wood and expansion gaps so the floor can move without cupping, gapping, or buckling
Solid vs. engineered - which is right for you?
Both are real wood and both look beautiful; the difference is in the structure and where each performs best. Solid hardwood is milled from a single piece of wood, can be sanded and refinished many times, and is ideal over wood subfloors on upper floors. Engineered hardwood bonds a genuine hardwood top layer to a stable plywood core, which resists Houston humidity and makes it the smart choice for ground-floor concrete slabs and rooms prone to moisture. We will walk your home, check your subfloor, and recommend the option that will hold up for decades.
