Field note · why it matters

A hardwood floor fails from the bottom up. Moisture in the slab, a soft subfloor, a skipped acoustic layer — they all surface as cupping, gaps, and squeaks a year later.

We meter every subfloor, level to ⅛" over 10 feet, and photograph what we find before it disappears under your floor.

Where hardwood works.

Room schedule · plan
Calgary's dry winters
are kind to wood —
humidity is the enemy.
Room finish scheduleSelect a space ↓
Great room & dining Solid · ideal

The showpiece. Wide-plank white oak or walnut runs unbroken from living to dining — solid hardwood you can sand and refinish for generations.

Spec →¾" solid · white oak / walnut
Bedrooms Solid · ideal

Warm and quiet underfoot. Solid plank re-stains as tastes change, so the floor outlasts the décor and the trends above it.

Spec →¾" solid · 5–7" plank
Hall & stairs Solid · ideal

The home's spine takes the most traffic. Solid hardwood wears hard and refinishes — stair treads matched to the run for a seamless flow.

Spec →¾" solid · matched stair treads
Kitchen Engineered

Cooking swings the humidity and spills happen. Engineered's stable core stays flat where solid might cup — seal the seams and it lasts.

Spec →⅝" engineered · sealed seams
Basement Engineered

Below grade and over concrete, moisture rises. Engineered's dimensionally-stable core won't cup — floated or glued over a moisture-tested slab.

Spec →⅝" engineered · over slab
Bathrooms Tile / LVP

Standing water is hardwood's one true enemy. Here we spec porcelain tile or luxury vinyl — the look of wood, none of the risk.
