NEW INSTALLATION

NEW INSTALLATION Installing a new hardwood floor can enhance the value and beauty of your home for generations to come. Unlike other floor-covering options such as carpet or tile, wood floors will not permanently deteriorate over time. By simply refinishing your hardwood floors their beauty can be renewed, a service that costs a fraction of a new floor. This is why installing new hardwood floors is consistently rated by realtors as one of the smartest investment decisions you can make to your home.

That said, installing a new hardwood floor can be an intimidating process. With the variety of species, installation methods, flooring constructions and sub-floor requirements, the potential for error can be high. Mistakes can be costly and difficult to detect. An improperly installed floor may only reveal its defects 2 or 3 years later, at which point a costly refinish, repair, or even full replacement may be necessary. This is why contractors, designers and homeowners trust Tulip Hardwood Floors to guide them through the installation process. Some of the benefits Tulip provides:

* Expert Installers. All of our installation foreman and supervisors are trained by the National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) for Expert Installation. Our ongoing training program means that your floor is installed using the most up-to-date standards and practices.

* Sub-floor Prep. Most install failures originate with poorly prepared sub-floors. We will never install a new floor over an unprepared or incompatible sub-floor. This means doing the appropriate moisture tests, using the best sealants and moisture barriers, checking for levelness, and addressing squeaks and cracks prior to installation.

* Superior Hardwood. We only install floors we believe in. With thousands of installs under our belt, we know which floors will stand the test of time. This means working with reputable manufacturers that warranty their product. We are constantly searching the market for new and exciting flooring options that meet our high standards.

* Consultation and Floor Design. We love challenging and creative installs. Whether you are looking for unique border designs, a custom-made medallion, a specific stain color or even a mixed-media floor install, our expert craftsmen will work with you to create a floor that meets the toughest design objectives.

* Lifetime Warranty. We warranty our craftsmanship for the life of your floor. A professionally installed hardwood floor should last a lifetime, and we believe in standing behind our work every step of the way.
