How hardwood performs in Matthews’ climate and older homes
Matthews’ mature tree canopy holds more humidity close to the ground than newer, more open developments, which makes proper acclimation and humidity control especially important for hardwood here.
A lot of established Matthews homes have original hardwood under carpet from a decades-old renovation, and it’s often in better shape than homeowners expect once we pull the carpet back.
Look and style options
For restorations, we work with your existing wood species and let you choose a new stain and finish sheen that fits your home’s character, from classic natural tones to darker, more modern stains.
For new installs, we offer both solid and engineered hardwood in a range of species and plank widths suited to Matthews’ mix of historic and newer homes.
What to expect during installation
Restoration starts with an inspection to confirm the wear layer can handle sanding, followed by sanding, replacement of any damaged boards, staining, and a protective topcoat.
New installs follow proper acclimation, subfloor prep, and installation — both processes typically take several days with dry time factored in.
