Premier Hardwood Floor Installation

From Top Industry Professionals in Raleigh


Beautiful and long lasting, hardwood floors are a timeless choice for any room in your home. From your entryway to your kitchen, stairs, or bedroom, Footprints Floors will be there to help you every step of the way. Our hardwood flooring installers in Raleigh take care of installation and stain selection. Having your floors installed by a hardwood/solid wood craftsman means that your floors will look amazing and leave a lasting impression.

Hardwood flooring installation is always a smart move as it never goes out of style and will increase the overall value of your home. Hardwood flooring is durable, long-lasting, and (if needed in future decades) can be fully restored to its original splendor. Improvements in technology over the years have increased the durability and quality of hardwoods so that they will last for generations to come.

Benefits of Hardwood Floors

Increases Property Value


Flooring is a key design element in every home. Durable, clean, and beautiful, wood is a preferred flooring choice for homeowners. Whether you are a new homeowner looking to update old flooring or preparing your current home for sale, installing hardwood flooring increases your property's value.

Hardwood is one of the most popular flooring materials. According to the National Wood Flooring Association, realtors find homes with hardwood floors sell faster at higher price points. The timeless beauty and durability of hardwood are attractive to buyers, making hardwood a great choice for presale renovations.

Clean


Hardwood floors are one of the most sanitary flooring choices. Carpet, in comparison, traps in dust, dirt, and bacteria, and requires professional cleaning. While tile and laminate don’t have dust-trapping fibers, bacteria can still become trapped in the grout or embossing.

Families with children or pets will benefit from wood floors. Allergy sufferers will also appreciate the cleaner air quality that this material provides.

BeautifulVariety of Patterns


While every material has its draw, hardwood, in particular, is timeless. The intricate grains, rich colors, and unique textures of wood create endless design possibilities. As a versatile material, wood flooring does well with classic, modern, and eclectic home decor. Designers say that hardwood makes rooms appear larger, warmer, and inviting. What more could you ask of a flooring material?

Diagonal

Typically, hardwood flooring is installed parallel to the longest wall. Diagonal installation is an alternative pattern that is a great choice for smaller rooms. The diagonal boards draw the eyes towards the corners and away from the walls, elongating the room.

Picture Frame

A great statement piece, picture frame designs in wood flooring are perfect for elegant dining rooms. Picture frame designs are made with contrasting color wood planks, placed in geometric shape (usually rectangle) around the desired room feature.

Parquet

Parquet patterns are geometric shapes made out of smaller pieces of wood that all fit together smoothly. This historical design was popular in homes built in the early 1900s. This intricate, sophisticated design is making a big comeback!

Random Widths

Wood planks of varying widths and lengths placed randomly add depth and length to a room, making it a great casual option for smaller spaces.

Durable


Compared to other flooring materials, hardwood is durable. Tile can crack, carpet stains, and laminate scratches easily. Hardwood, on the other hand, can withstand pets, children, and more for decades. While scratching can occur, hardwood floor refinishing can restore old floors to brand new.

The biggest benefit of hardwood floor installation is longevity. This is a flooring material that will last a century or more if properly maintained.

Low Maintenance


Though hardwood is durable, it is not impervious to damage. Faded finishes, scratches, and dents are all signs of a well-loved hardwood floor. With proper maintenance, these imperfections rarely show until decades after installation. And, when they do appear, restoration and repair will breathe new life into your floors.

A daily sweep and frequent mopping with a special hardwood cleaner are all that are needed to maintain your hardwood floors.

Hardwood Floor Installation Process


When you hire professionals for hardwood floor installation in Raleigh, it is important to understand their entire process. While some companies refuse to do prep work and cleanup, Footprints Floors provides full service. After discussing square footage, pricing estimates, and other details with your flooring professional, our team follows these installation steps.

Acclimation

Before wood planks are installed, they must acclimate to the moisture levels present in your home. Skipping this step causes expansion or shrinkage and other damage to newly installed floors. The acclimation process is simple: store your purchased wood planks inside your home for up to three days.

Tear Out And Subfloor Prep

Our team starts with the tear-out of your old floor, installs new subflooring, and prepares for installation. We practice heightened safety measures, ensuring no dust or harmful substances escape into your home’s atmosphere.

Installation

Our team of expert craftsmen provides special care and performs the installation diligently and efficiently, laying down your hardwood flooring plank by plank. Next, your new floor is cleaned, stained, and sealed to your desired finish.

Clean Up

After the installation process is complete, the crew will clean up after themselves, leaving your home just as it was when they got there. You can expect our flooring contractors to treat you and your home with respect. For expert flooring services and quality customer care, you can count on Footprints Floors Raleigh.

Beauty in Imperfection


Most hardwood floors receive protective finishes to avoid the effects of wear and tear. However, you may finish your hardwood installation in Raleigh and wonder if it's necessary to cover your stunning new natural wood with finishing products. The good news is, it's entirely up to you!

The imperfections in raw wood floors are often what makes them so unique and eye-catching. Wood stains and sealants can smooth out glaring blemishes, but applying a finishing product is not necessary. Unfinished hardwood flooring is highly durable and requires only slightly different maintenance from a finished floor to avoid unnecessary water damage. Without a sealant, your hardwood will experience the beauty of age and daily use. Scratches and dents can be so much more than flaws! Unfinished wood showcases your family's history and brings your space a new sense of character. As the world grows more obsessed with the idea of perfection, unfinished hardwood is a lovely way to embrace and enhance the personality of your space. If you see and value the beauty in imperfection, allow your house to feel more like a home that has been loved and lived in with raw wood flooring.

If you want to add raw hardwood floors to your home and have been searching for hardwood installation in Raleigh, look no further! Footprints Floors has the hardwood expertise you need. Our hardwood flooring installers supervise every aspect of installation so you can be confident that your home is in expert hands. By the end of your installation, your raw hardwood floors will be the jewel of your home and will last the test of time. Give us a call today to receive a free estimate on your project!

Fantastic! Footprints Floor refinished and stained our hardwood floor. It was perfect. Shawna and her team were fantastic! Shawna was quick to respond to messages and she worked with us to find the right schedule. Communication throughout the project was perfect and the end product is flawless.
Aymard Kassi 10/21/25 — google
Shawna and her team were such a joy to work with that I had them back a second time for another project in my home. From the estimation, to the demo, to the install, communication was abundant. She was transparent about the subfloor levelling that needed to happen which extended the project time and cost. The install team led by Darwin was top notch and detail oriented. Their ability to make one-piece stair tread fitting look easy show how good of craftsmen they are.

Footprints Floors was nothing but awesome to work with. Shawna is amazing at her job and makes you feel very comfortable with the job as a whole. Here are some before and after pictures of the water damage that occurred in my home 's master bathroom. I am very happy with the outcome of this project. It was easy to give this company 5 stars and more.

Footprints Floors refinished our floors and also had to replace a hardwood floor. They did a fabulous job! Shawna was so nice and she was a pleasure to deal with. She answered any questions we had, and stayed in communication with us, throughout. She also came by regularly, to check on how the project was going. Bryan and Jesus did an incredible job on the floors. They worked so hard! The floors are beautiful. Bryan and Jesus are an asset to your company. I highly recommend Footprints Floors! 10 stars!

John Dion 09/4/25 — google
We recently worked with Footprints Floors in Raleigh to refinish our 20-year old hardwood floors and hardwood steps, and to install new hardwoods in a master bedroom. We hired Footprints because of the great up-front service received from the owner Shawna who took more time than other companies to explain their process and answer our questions. She also provided a competitive quote that included moving furniture, a service most other competitors do not offer as we found out when getting other quotes. The Footprints bill is a little cheaper if you pay in cash rather than credit card (surcharged). The work performed was quite extensive, and we were very pleased with the result, taking our worn and dated orange/maple-colored floors into the 21st century with a more modern Scandinavian white pine look (see attached photos). The three-person crew took about 8-9 days to finish everything, including a couple of half days where they worked on installing the new hardwoods before applying the same sanding and solutions to everything. Our process was perhaps more extensive than others, as we had the company apply a "red out" solution that gave the red oak floors the white pine look we were after. The crew did a thorough job, responding to all questions we had and fixing a few air vent issues we pointed out to our satisfaction. As the owner will tell you up front, this process is extremely dusty and will scuff up baseboards and risers to the point that they need to be repainted along with the new primed white quarter round, so factor cleaning and repainting into your project. The crew did use equipment that captured the bulk of the dust, removing bags of sanded debris from the job site, but it's not a perfect process and all of our walls still need to be wiped down. We appreciated how flexibly Footprints coordinated with a second contractor who replaced our handrail and spindles at the same time their crew was working on the floors. It was a complicated process and it helped that someone from our home stayed at home and was available to check in with the crew and contractor regularly, but in the end we are pleased with the result and are moving on to the repainting. I would and have recommended Footprints Floors to friends who are considering similar renovations.

Could not recommend Footprints Floors more! Working with both Shawna and Amanda was a dream. After having a flood in our house, they came in to save the day and handled everything so seamlessly and even helped us deal with insurance! Seriously could not recommend them more! 10/10 experience!

I can't say enough great things about our experience with Footprints Floors installation of LVP flooring for the entire upstairs and steps. They were very professional and informative, in preparation for the process and choosing quality flooring that we love. Installation was very painless for us because they prepped our floors and installed them with meticulous care AND cleaned up areas and always made sure we had a bed to sleep in so our house didn't feel like a disaster as they were installing. Our floors are gorgeous and I highly recommend them for your flooring!

Amanda helped me with my hardwood floor sanding renovation. I appreciated her help with choosing a stain color when I didn't like any of the first 3 proposals. The work was done on time, which seems like a miracle nowadays! I'm extremely happy with my floors and get lots of compliments on the new color. Very professional and knowledgeable!
Mariora Texier 02/28/25 — google
I recently had the pleasure of working with Shawna on a home improvement project and consultation, and I couldn't be happier about it! She was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail. Looking forward to work with them in the future.

Footprints Floors Raleigh was great! They arrived on time, completed the project quickly and stayed in touch throughout the process. The wood floors look great! I would highly recommend their services!
Jackie Cooper 01/16/25 — google
Amanda & Shawna are constant professionals. They renovated my staircase and did an excellent job. They came to measure and inform me how long the project would take. They inform me the names of their crew members that would be coming by and what time they would be coming to start the project. The day before the project they sent me an email about what to expect from the start to the finish of the project. They took care of my punch list immediately while they were on vacation in another country. Now, that's customer service to the 10th power. I will definitely recommend Footprints Floors to everyone I know. By the way I need a quote to replace my back splash tile with some new tile. Amanda & Shawna I'll reach out for that quote. Thank you again for an excellent project.
