Wood Floor Installation

Installing new hardwood floors is one of the best investments you can make in your home. At Calabrese Hardwood, we specialize in professional hardwood floor installation that adds beauty, durability, and long-term value to your space. Based in Firestone and serving Longmont, Boulder, Denver, and beyond, we handle everything from selecting your hardwood to the final coat of finish.

Solid & Engineered Hardwood Options

We install both solid and engineered hardwood floors, depending on what’s best for your space. If you want wide-plank white oak, hickory, maple or a custom wood species, we’ll help you select a quality wood floor manufacturer that fits your style and budget.

We also offer custom design layouts, like herringbone, chevron, parquet, and diagonal patterns for a high-end touch.

Install Preparation:

Proper subfloor preparation is critical. We inspect your subfloor and make sure it’s clean, level, and dry. If needed, we install a moisture barrier or plywood underlayment. We also remove any old flooring and trim carefully. This preparation ensures a stable foundation for your new hardwood and prevents issues like uneven spots or future squeaks.

The Installation Process

Every project starts with a full subfloor assessment. We check for moisture, flatness, and integrity, and make sure your subfloor is prepped to manufacturer specs. Our process includes:

Subfloor leveling and vapor barrier (if needed)
Accurate layout and pattern planning
Precision cutting and professional tools
Seamless integration with trim, stairs and treads, and existing floors

For unfinished wood, we can provide full sanding and finishing services after the install. For prefinished, we’ll clean, seal, and blend the edges for a unison look.

Applying the Finish

We don’t just install your hardwood and call it done. Whether you choose unfinished wood or prefinished flooring, we make sure your floors look complete and feel built-in.

Unfinished Hardwood: After installation, we sand the surface smooth, apply your chosen stain (if desired), and finish it with a protective topcoat.
Prefinished Flooring: We clean, seal, and blend the edges so everything looks uniform and polished… no gaps, no mismatched boards.

Want a custom stain to match existing floors or get a specific tone? We’ve got you. From natural matte to rich dark walnut, we’ll get the exact look you’re after.

Hardwood Floor Pattern Styles We Install

Straight Lay (Traditional)

The most common pattern where the boards are laid side by side along the length or width of the room. Clean, timeless, and versatile.

Diagonal

Like straight lay, but rotated 45°. Adds subtle interest and makes narrow rooms feel wider.

Random Width

Uses two or three board widths in a repeating or non-repeating pattern. Creates a rustic or handcrafted feel.

Herringbone

A classic zigzag pattern where boards meet at a 90° angle. Ideal for adding a high-end, European look to entryways or formal rooms.

Chevron

Similar to herringbone, but boards are cut at an angle to create a clean “V” pattern. Sleeker and more symmetrical.

Parquet

Parquet brings intricate geometric patterns, from classic Versailles to modern mosaics, turning your floor into a true statement piece.

Border Inlays

Border inlays add a tailored frame around your room, highlighting the layout with contrasting wood tones or patterns for a custom, high-end finish.

3D Cube (Tumbling Block)

A complex geometric illusion made with three contrasting wood tones. Makes your floor pop with depth and character.

Picture Frame

Framing the room or a central design area with a distinct wood border creating focus and visual separation.

Mixed Species / Color-Tone

Use multiple wood types (like walnut and maple) or contrasting stains to create unique visual patterns or logos.
