Nail-down
Solid hardwood fastened to a plywood or OSB subfloor. The classic method for upstairs rooms.
_01 · Our services
Hardwood & engineered
Solid and engineered wood, installed the way the manufacturer and the subfloor call for. The goal is a floor that stays flat, quiet and tight for decades.

Three ways to install it
Methods
Glue-down
Engineered wood bonded to a concrete slab with a full spread of adhesive. Solid underfoot, no hollow sound.
Floating
Engineered boards locked together over an underlayment. Fast, and works over most flat surfaces.
What makes it last
The Focus difference
_01
Moisture readings first
We measure the subfloor and the boards before installing. Wood that goes down too wet or too dry is what makes floors gap and cup later.
_02
Boards mixed from several boxes
We rack the floor from several boxes at once, so shades blend naturally and end joints never line up in a pattern.
_03
Custom wood transitions
Doorways get transitions cut from wood instead of off-the-shelf strips, for a clean edge between rooms.
