5 Signs Your New Construction Project Needs Hardwood Flooring

  1. You Are Building a Custom Home in Southeast Michigan

    New construction is the ideal time to install hardwood — the subfloor is accessible, the HVAC is running, and there is no existing flooring to work around. Quality Hardwoods of Michigan supplies hardwood to Michigan builders and contractors and can coordinate delivery to your jobsite.

  2. You Want Hardwood Under Cabinets and Trim

    Installing hardwood before cabinets and trim creates a seamless look with no visible transitions. The flooring runs continuously under the kitchen island, under door casings, and to the wall — covered by baseboard. This is only possible in new construction or major renovation.

  3. You Have Radiant Heat

    New construction with radiant heat requires flooring specified for radiant heat compatibility. Engineered hardwood is the recommended choice — Preverco, DuChateau, and Appalachian all offer radiant-heat-rated engineered products. Solid hardwood over radiant heat requires careful specification and is not recommended for wide planks.

  4. You Are Building Over a Concrete Slab

    New construction in Michigan often uses concrete slab foundations. Engineered hardwood can be glued down over concrete with proper moisture testing. Solid hardwood cannot be installed directly over concrete. Quality Hardwoods of Michigan can advise on the right product for your slab conditions.

  5. You Want a Contractor Account for Material Pricing

    Michigan builders and contractors can open a contractor account at Quality Hardwoods of Michigan for trade pricing, material takeoffs, and jobsite delivery coordination. We work with 500+ Michigan contractors and builders annually.

How to Specify Hardwood Flooring for New Construction in Michigan

  1. 1

    Select Species, Grade, and Width Early

    Hardwood flooring decisions should be made during the design phase — before cabinets and millwork are specified. The flooring species and color affect cabinet stain selection, trim profiles, and paint colors. Visit Quality Hardwoods of Michigan early in the design process.

  2. 2

    Specify Subfloor Requirements

    New construction subfloors must be flat (within 3/16″ over 10 feet), dry, and structurally sound. Concrete slabs require moisture testing before flooring installation. Specify subfloor preparation requirements in the construction contract.

  3. 3

    Coordinate HVAC Commissioning

    The HVAC system must be running and the home at normal occupied temperature and humidity before hardwood is delivered. New construction homes are often too dry in winter or too humid in summer during construction. Coordinate flooring delivery with HVAC commissioning.

  4. 4

    Acclimate Materials On-Site

    Hardwood must acclimate in the installation space for 3–10 days before installation. For new construction, this means the home must be closed, climate-controlled, and at normal occupied conditions during acclimation.

  5. 5

    Install Before Baseboard and Trim

    Hardwood flooring should be installed before baseboards and door casings are installed. This allows the flooring to run under the trim for a seamless look and proper expansion gap coverage.
