Hardwood flooring installation is always a smart move as it never goes out of style and will increase the overall value of your home. Hardwood flooring is durable, long-lasting, and (if needed in future decades) can be fully restored to its original splendor. Improvements in technology over the years have increased the durability and quality of hardwoods so that they will last for generations to come.

Benefits of Hardwood Floors

Increases Property Value


Flooring is a key design element in every home. Durable, clean, and beautiful, wood is a preferred flooring choice for homeowners. Whether you are a new homeowner looking to update old flooring or preparing your current home for sale, installing hardwood flooring increases your property's value.

Hardwood is one of the most popular flooring materials. According to the National Wood Flooring Association, realtors find homes with hardwood floors sell faster at higher price points. The timeless beauty and durability of hardwood are attractive to buyers, making hardwood a great choice for presale renovations.

Clean


Hardwood floors are one of the most sanitary flooring choices. Carpet, in comparison, traps in dust, dirt, and bacteria, and requires professional cleaning. While tile and laminate don’t have dust-trapping fibers, bacteria can still become trapped in the grout or embossing.

Families with children or pets will benefit from wood floors. Allergy sufferers will also appreciate the cleaner air quality that this material provides.

BeautifulVariety of Patterns


While every material has its draw, hardwood, in particular, is timeless. The intricate grains, rich colors, and unique textures of wood create endless design possibilities. As a versatile material, wood flooring does well with classic, modern, and eclectic home decor. Designers say that hardwood makes rooms appear larger, warmer, and inviting. What more could you ask of a flooring material?

Diagonal

Typically, hardwood flooring is installed parallel to the longest wall. Diagonal installation is an alternative pattern that is a great choice for smaller rooms. The diagonal boards draw the eyes towards the corners and away from the walls, elongating the room.

Picture Frame

A great statement piece, picture frame designs in wood flooring are perfect for elegant dining rooms. Picture frame designs are made with contrasting color wood planks, placed in geometric shape (usually rectangle) around the desired room feature.

Parquet

Parquet patterns are geometric shapes made out of smaller pieces of wood that all fit together smoothly. This historical design was popular in homes built in the early 1900s. This intricate, sophisticated design is making a big comeback!

Random Widths

Wood planks of varying widths and lengths placed randomly add depth and length to a room, making it a great casual option for smaller spaces.

Durable


Compared to other flooring materials, hardwood is durable. Tile can crack, carpet stains, and laminate scratches easily. Hardwood, on the other hand, can withstand pets, children, and more for decades. While scratching can occur, hardwood floor refinishing can restore old floors to brand new.

The biggest benefit of hardwood floor installation is longevity. This is a flooring material that will last a century or more if properly maintained.

Low Maintenance


Though hardwood is durable, it is not impervious to damage. Faded finishes, scratches, and dents are all signs of a well-loved hardwood floor. With proper maintenance, these imperfections rarely show until decades after installation. And, when they do appear, restoration and repair will breathe new life into your floors.

A daily sweep and frequent mopping with a special hardwood cleaner are all that are needed to maintain your hardwood floors.

Hardwood Floor Installation Process


When you hire professionals for hardwood floor installation in Akron / Canton, it is important to understand their entire process. While some companies refuse to do prep work and cleanup, Footprints Floors provides full service. After discussing square footage, pricing estimates, and other details with your flooring professional, our team follows these installation steps.

Acclimation

Before wood planks are installed, they must acclimate to the moisture levels present in your home. Skipping this step causes expansion or shrinkage and other damage to newly installed floors. The acclimation process is simple: store your purchased wood planks inside your home for up to three days.

Tear Out And Subfloor Prep

Our team starts with the tear-out of your old floor, installs new subflooring, and prepares for installation. We practice heightened safety measures, ensuring no dust or harmful substances escape into your home’s atmosphere.

Installation

Our team of expert craftsmen provides special care and performs the installation diligently and efficiently, laying down your hardwood flooring plank by plank. Next, your new floor is cleaned, stained, and sealed to your desired finish.

Clean Up

After the installation process is complete, the crew will clean up after themselves, leaving your home just as it was when they got there. You can expect our flooring contractors to treat you and your home with respect. For expert flooring services and quality customer care, you can count on Footprints Floors of Northeast Ohio.

Beauty in Imperfection


Most hardwood floors receive protective finishes to avoid the effects of wear and tear. However, you may finish your hardwood installation in Akron / Canton and wonder if it's necessary to cover your stunning new natural wood with finishing products. The good news is, it's entirely up to you!

The imperfections in raw wood floors are often what makes them so unique and eye-catching. Wood stains and sealants can smooth out glaring blemishes, but applying a finishing product is not necessary. Unfinished hardwood flooring is highly durable and requires only slightly different maintenance from a finished floor to avoid unnecessary water damage. Without a sealant, your hardwood will experience the beauty of age and daily use. Scratches and dents can be so much more than flaws! Unfinished wood showcases your family's history and brings your space a new sense of character. As the world grows more obsessed with the idea of perfection, unfinished hardwood is a lovely way to embrace and enhance the personality of your space. If you see and value the beauty in imperfection, allow your house to feel more like a home that has been loved and lived in with raw wood flooring.

If you want to add raw hardwood floors to your home and have been searching for hardwood installation in Akron / Canton, look no further! Footprints Floors has the hardwood expertise you need. Our hardwood flooring installers supervise every aspect of installation so you can be confident that your home is in expert hands. By the end of your installation, your raw hardwood floors will be the jewel of your home and will last the test of time. Give us a call today to receive a free estimate on your project!

Ivory Tower 04/14/25 — google
Footprints Floors of Northeast Ohio just refinished my dining & living room floors. It was a wonderful experience from the first time Mike came out and gave me an estimate to the finished product. They explained every step of the process and kept me in the loop. My floors are beautiful. I highly recommend Mike & Footprints Floors of Northeast Ohio.
Vickie Fortney 04/8/25 — google
Hands down, the best customer/contractor experience I've had in 50 plus years as a homeowner. Absolute up front and transparent invoice. I received a quote from a competitor that completely lacked a breakdown of goods and services, just an overinflated price tag, which immediately disqualified them. This was a huge winner for me in choosing Footprints. They were up front about what would cost what. Mike was absolutely straightforward and helpful, every step of the way, and absolutely flexible in terms of owner demo work done on the job, and pricing for Footprints to do the work. Mike went the extra mile and found a discontinued line of Mohawk RevWood flooring that I really wanted, and helped me to find and purchase that exact, hard to find, flooring. And just looking at it, post install, and having it exactly as I had hoped... just incredible! Mike and his son showed up on time and ready to go. Every effort was made to keep the house clean during the entire process. Precision cuts and craftsmanship. Attention to detail and cleanliness. Matched existing moulding with 1/4 round trim that perfectly matched! Extreme attention to customer satisfaction, happy to answer any questions, above and beyond on moving appliances and furniture I had no place else to put. Top service! Highly recommend!

Mike was incredible! He was always on time, stayed in touch throughout the process and went over and above with service. His work is outstanding! He solved a very difficult floor transition problem and made it look new. I would highly recommend Mike. Workmanship and professionalism like his is hard to find.
Lou DeLoss 03/25/25 — google
Mike came out and gave me an estimate for my bathroom floor. He came back and fixed my floor in the more correct way, not the easy way it had been done by the previous owner. It looks great and I would definitely hire him again. Thank you!
Megan Delorenzo 03/14/25 — google
I had footprint floors perform a sanding and refinishing of our old engineered hardwood floors. Mike and his team did an absolutely fantastic job. We did a custom stain to match our other floors.

Would highly recommend- easy to work with, professional and quality work. Went above and beyond to help us source matching flooring that was discontinued and installed quickly once received.

Mike Goff and Footprint Floors of NE Ohio did a superb job with our wood-floored dining room. He and his team were VERY prompt (very rare in subcontractors!), professional and efficient. We had to postpone the work because of the holidays (at our asking) and he was very amenable to that and the rescheduling. We enjoyed the entire experience and Mike and his company come highly recommended. A very good man!
Henry Inman 01/10/25 — google

We recently had our hardwood floors refinished by Footprints Floors and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results.

We highly recommend their services! Trust me, you won't be disappointed!
Kayla Stephan 12/23/24 — google
Mike and his crew were so helpful in getting our flooring done before we moved into our new home and were out of state. He coordinated entry with the realtor and worked with us remotely to give us multiple options when we weren't sure what would look best in the space. We chose hardwood and LVT and it turned out better than we hoped. We highly recommend Footprints Floors for their quality of work and communication with us!
