Above Grade Flooring acclimates every board before install and works with the major hardwood brands, whether you're in a two-year-old build near Eastlake or an established home closer to 88th Avenue.

Acclimation matters more in newer construction

New-build homes often have tighter humidity control and drier winter air than older houses, which sounds good until wood shrinks unevenly. We track your home's humidity for several days before install and set expansion gaps to match.

Engineered planks for Thornton's slab homes

Most of Thornton's newer subdivisions are built on concrete slabs, which is where engineered hardwood earns its keep - real wood on a stable core that glues or floats down without the cupping risk solid wood can have on concrete.

Refinishing older Thornton hardwood

If you're in one of the city's older homes and the original hardwood is still under there, our dustless sand-and-refinish brings it back - stain matching, board repairs, and a durable finish, all for less than a full replacement.

Regularly - we work with builders' slab conditions every week and know exactly which hardwood products hold up best over concrete.
