Site-Finished Hardwood in Colorado
Custom hardwood floors sanded, stained, and finished on-site for a seamless look and
long-lasting durability.
Site-finished hardwood flooring is installed and finished directly in your home, allowing for precise sanding, staining, and sealing on-site. This process creates a seamless look that blends naturally with your space.
By applying the protective finish after installation, we ensure a smooth, durable hardwood floor built to last for many years.
Why Should You Choose Site-Finished Hardwood Floors?
Want the highest level of customization? Site-finished hardwood flooring offers complete flexibility to achieve your ideal look.
With this process, you can select the wood species, grade, plank structure, installation pattern, stain color, and finish sheen. Because the floor is sanded and finished on-site, it delivers a smooth, seamless surface without beveled edges — creating a more natural, uniform appearance than prefinished hardwood.
Site-finished floors also collect less dirt between boards, making them easier to clean and maintain over time.
Site-finished hardwood flooring is the ideal choice when you want a floor fully customized to your home — your color, your sheen, your style. We install raw hardwood, then sand, stain, and finish it on-site to perfectly match existing floors or create a completely new look tailored to your space, lighting, and furniture.

The customization process explained
The first step in your hardwood flooring installation is selecting the right wood for your project. Important factors include durability, climate conditions, subfloor type, and of course, your personal design preferences.
For example, solid hardwood performs best over plywood subfloors, while engineered hardwood flooring is typically better suited for concrete foundations. Choosing the correct product ensures long-term stability and performance in your home.
Wood Species
We offer a wide selection of hardwood flooring species, including both domestic and international options. Each wood species has a unique cellular structure that affects durability, stability, grain pattern, and overall performance.
Selecting the right hardwood species plays a key role in defining the character and longevity of your floors, making it essential to understand the differences before making your final decision..
Hardness
A hardness scale can help you understand each variety’s hardness and resistance, as well as which structures it suits.
Stability
The environment, including humidity, can have a big effect on your wood, leading to expansion and contraction at certain times of the year.
Natural Color
Every species has a different tone and shade, from light to dark and everything in between. Make sure the wood you choose complements your furnishings and your own taste.
Grain Pattern
The decision to choose a wood species with pronounced natural grain patterns is subjective and varies based on individual taste. Have a think about whether you prefer natural and more random grain patterns or something more uniform and plain.

Wood Grades
Wood grading evaluates the visual appearance of hardwood flooring based on natural characteristics such as color variation, mineral streaks, knots, and other unique markings. Grading is not about quality, but about the overall style and character you prefer for your home.
Some homeowners choose select grades for a cleaner, more uniform look, while others prefer character or rustic grades that highlight natural variations. Because boards with fewer markings use a smaller portion of the tree, they are often priced higher.
Grades may vary by species*
Select & Better
exhibits very few imperfections or character markings. This grade is characterized by a uniform color with minimal knots or holes and longer, similar-length boards.
#1 Common
wider range of light and dark colors on different boards and includes some knots and holes, as well as varying lengths.
#2 Common
much greater variations in color with visible mineral streaks, and more visible and larger knots and worm holes.
Euro Character
Offers a broader range of coloring and natural characteristics than Select & Better. This grade allows for longer planks.
Finishing Your New Wood Flooring
Once your site-finished hardwood flooring is prepared, we apply an optional custom stain followed by three protective coats of polyurethane to enhance durability and preserve the natural beauty of the wood.
We offer a wide selection of stain colors and hardwood species — including oak, American cherry, and maple — allowing you to achieve a fully customized look. Our experienced flooring specialists provide expert guidance to help you select the ideal color and finish to complement your home’s interior design.

Choosing a Stain Color
Staining enhances the natural beauty of your hardwood flooring, adding depth and character to the wood. However, each wood species absorbs stain differently — some provide even color enhancement, while others may show more variation.
For best results, we recommend testing stain samples directly on your hardwood before final application. This ensures you achieve the exact color and finish you envision. Our experienced flooring professionals guide you through the selection process, helping you choose the ideal stain and application method for a truly customized hardwood floor.

Protective Coats of Finish
The final step in site-finished hardwood flooring is applying protective polyurethane coats that enhance durability and preserve the natural beauty of the wood. Our flooring specialists help you choose the right finish based on your hardwood species, traffic levels, and design preferences.
Water-based polyurethane is a popular choice for hardwood floor finishing. It dries clear, maintains the natural color of the wood, and provides a strong protective layer with lower odor and fewer VOCs compared to oil-based finishes. It also offers faster drying and curing times, making it an efficient and durable solution for residential flooring.
Oil-Based Polyurethane
Oil-based polyurethane is a traditional option for hardwood floor finishing, creating a strong, protective film that enhances the depth and natural grain of the wood. It typically adds a warm, slightly amber tone — especially with multiple coats — which many homeowners prefer for a richer appearance.
Although oil-based finishes require longer drying times and proper ventilation during application, they remain a durable and reliable choice for high-traffic areas.
