Burbank Elite Hardwood Flooring | Residential & Commercial Hardwood Flooring in Burbank, CA

Installation Services

We install hardwood floors with careful planning and attention to detail. Our team helps homeowners choose between solid, engineered, or prefinished wood depending on the space and lifestyle needs. Each option offers unique benefits such as thickness, stability, and ease of care.



Before installation, we prepare the subfloor to ensure a level and stable foundation. This step prevents issues like squeaks or uneven boards. We also provide guidance on wood species, stain colors, and finishes to match the style of the home.

During installation, we use proven techniques such as nail-down, glue-down, or floating methods. The choice depends on the type of flooring and the condition of the subfloor. Our goal is to deliver a clean, accurate fit that enhances both function and design.

Refinishing and Restoration

Hardwood floors naturally show wear over time, but refinishing restores their original look. We sand the surface to remove scratches, dull spots, and old finishes. This process creates a smooth surface ready for new stain and sealant.



Refinishing allows homeowners to update the color of their floors without replacing them. We offer a range of stains from light natural tones to darker shades for a modern appearance. A protective finish is then applied to guard against future damage.

For older floors, restoration may include repairing damaged boards or addressing water stains before refinishing. We focus on preserving as much of the original material as possible while improving the overall condition of the floor.

Repair and Maintenance

We handle repairs for common issues such as scratches, dents, gaps, and loose boards. Small surface marks can often be buffed out, while deeper damage may require board replacement. Matching the repair to the existing floor is essential for a seamless result.



Regular maintenance extends the life of hardwood flooring. We recommend periodic cleaning with proper products, avoiding excess water, and using felt pads under furniture. These simple steps reduce wear and prevent costly repairs.

For homes with heavy traffic, we offer scheduled maintenance services. This includes deep cleaning, touch-up staining, and re-coating to keep floors in good condition year after year.

Solid Hardwood Options

Solid hardwood flooring uses planks made from a single piece of wood. This type is valued for its long lifespan and ability to be sanded and refinished multiple times. It works well in living rooms, bedrooms, and other areas with stable humidity.



We offer popular species such as oak, maple, walnut, and hickory, each with its own grain and color. Oak provides a classic look, while walnut gives a darker, richer tone. Maple and hickory are lighter in color and show less grain variation.

Solid hardwood is best installed over plywood subfloors and nailed or stapled in place. It is not recommended for basements or areas with moisture, since wood can expand and contract with changes in humidity.

Engineered Hardwood Choices

Engineered hardwood flooring combines a real hardwood top layer with multiple layers of plywood or fiberboard underneath. This structure makes it more stable than solid wood, reducing the risk of warping in areas with changing temperatures or moisture.



We carry engineered options in a wide range of finishes and widths. Wide-plank styles create a modern look, while narrower planks provide a traditional feel. Many engineered products come prefinished, allowing for faster installation with less downtime.

Another benefit is flexibility in installation. Engineered hardwood can be glued, nailed, or floated over different subfloors, including concrete. This makes it a strong choice for condos, basements, and homes with radiant heating systems.

Eco-Friendly Flooring Solutions

We also provide eco-friendly hardwood flooring for customers who want sustainable materials. These options include wood sourced from responsibly managed forests and products certified by organizations such as the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).



Another option is reclaimed hardwood, which uses wood salvaged from old buildings or barns. This reduces waste while providing unique character with visible knots, nail holes, and weathered textures.

We also offer engineered products that use less raw hardwood while still providing the same surface look. Choosing eco-friendly flooring helps reduce environmental impact while still giving a durable and attractive floor.

Consultation and Planning

We begin by meeting with you to understand your needs, style, and budget. During this stage, we look at the layout of your home, the type of wood you prefer, and how the flooring will fit with your daily use.

Our team provides samples so you can compare colors and finishes in your own space. We also measure each room carefully to avoid waste and ensure the right amount of material is ordered.

To make the process clear, we prepare a written plan that outlines:

• Material selection
• Estimated timeline
• Cost breakdown

This step gives you a full picture of the project before any work begins.

Precision Installation

Once the plan is approved, we prepare the subfloor by checking for moisture, leveling uneven areas, and removing old flooring if needed. A stable base is important, so the wood performs well.



We then install the boards with attention to alignment and spacing. This prevents gaps, squeaks, or uneven seams. Depending on the type of hardwood, we may use nail-down, glue-down, or floating installation methods.

Our installers use professional tools to cut and fit boards around walls, doorways, and corners. This ensures the floor looks seamless and fits the exact shape of your rooms.

Finishing Touches

After installation, we sand the surface to create a smooth and even finish. This step removes small imperfections and prepares the wood for sealing.



We then apply protective coatings such as polyurethane or natural oil. These finishes guard against scratches, moisture, and wear while also highlighting the natural grain of the wood.

Finally, we add trim and molding to complete the edges. This detail gives the floor a clean look and makes the installation appear built-in rather than added on.

We inspect the work carefully, making sure every detail meets our standards before the project is complete.

Durability and Longevity

We choose hardwood flooring because it holds up well under daily use. Solid hardwood can last 50 years or more with proper care, and engineered hardwood also provides long service life. This makes it a cost-effective option when compared to carpets or vinyl that need replacing more often.



Hardwood resists wear in high-traffic areas better than many other surfaces. Scratches or dents can often be repaired through sanding and refinishing, which restores the floor instead of replacing it. This process can be done multiple times over the life of the floor.

Different wood species offer varying levels of hardness. For example:

Aesthetic Appeal

We value hardwood flooring for its natural beauty and versatility. Each plank has unique grain patterns and tones, which means no two floors look exactly the same. This gives a distinct character to every room.

Hardwood also adapts well to different design styles. Lighter woods create an open, modern look, while darker stains bring warmth and a more traditional feel. The ability to refinish floors allows us to update the color or finish without replacing the material.

Because hardwood pairs easily with rugs, furniture, and décor, it remains a flexible choice for changing styles. This adaptability helps the floor stay visually appealing for decades.

Easy Maintenance

We find hardwood floors simple to care for compared to many other surfaces. Dust, dirt, and pet hair can be removed with sweeping, vacuuming, or a damp mop. Unlike carpet, hardwood does not trap allergens, which makes it easier to keep a clean indoor environment.



Spills can be wiped up quickly without leaving stains if addressed right away. Protective pads under furniture and mats at entryways help reduce scratches and wear.

When deeper cleaning is needed, hardwood responds well to professional refinishing. Instead of replacing the floor, we can restore its original look and extend its lifespan. This low-maintenance routine makes hardwood a practical choice for busy households.
