Our Custom Floor Design Process
Our comprehensive design process ensures your vision becomes reality through careful planning and expert implementation.

6. Floor Coatings and Finishes
The right finish not only beautifies your floor but also determines its durability and maintenance requirements. We offer polyurethane finishes in various sheens from matte to high-gloss, each creating a distinct aesthetic effect.
Eco-Friendly Solutions
We proudly offer a range of sustainable flooring options that align with Columbus's environmental initiatives, including the city's commitment to 100% renewable energy by 2023. Our eco-friendly collection features bamboo and cork flooring, which regenerate quickly without harming forests.
Recycled materials feature prominently in our selection, including reclaimed wood and tiles made from post-consumer waste. These options reduce landfill contributions while giving your space distinctive character.
Our eco-friendly epoxy solutions contain low VOCs, meaning they release fewer harmful compounds into your home. This makes them safer for your family and pets while still providing the durability and water resistance you need. All our green flooring options are processed using energy-efficient methods to minimize their carbon footprint.

We offer state-of-the-art heated flooring systems that transform cold surfaces into comfortable, warm spaces year-round. These energy-efficient systems operate beneath your flooring material of choice, providing even heat distribution throughout your rooms.

Our experts will help you select the perfect combination of features to meet your specific needs.
Maintaining and Caring for Your Custom Floor
Proper care ensures your custom flooring remains beautiful for years to come. The right maintenance routine protects your investment while preserving the unique characteristics that make your floor special.
Long-Term Preservation
Preventing damage is easier than repairing it. Place protective pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches and dents. Use area rugs in high-traffic zones to reduce wear patterns.
Control your indoor environment to protect your flooring. Maintain consistent humidity levels between 35-55% to prevent hardwood floors from expanding or contracting excessively. Our Floor Expansion Solutions account for seasonal changes, but proper humidity control maximizes these benefits.
Clean up spills immediately, especially on hardwood and laminate floors. Even water-resistant floors can suffer damage from standing liquids over time. Consider using window treatments to prevent sun fading on your beautiful custom floors.
Repair and Refinishing Services
Despite careful maintenance, floors will eventually show signs of wear. Our Hardwood Floor Refinishing services can make older floors look new again by sanding away surface damage and applying fresh stain and sealant.
For more significant damage, we offer comprehensive Floor Resurfacing Techniques to address deeper scratches, gouges, or water damage. Our skilled technicians can match existing finishes for seamless repairs.
We also provide spot repair services for isolated damage, saving you the cost of refinishing the entire floor. Our environmentally responsible approach aligns with Columbus' green initiatives while delivering exceptional results.
Regular professional maintenance extends the life of your floors and maintains their beauty. We recommend scheduling a professional assessment every 3-5 years depending on your floor type and traffic patterns.

While custom designs represent a premium over standard flooring, they create focal points that elevate your entire space. We provide detailed quotes after developing your specific design concept.
What is the process for creating a custom floor design?
Our custom design process begins with an in-home consultation to understand your style preferences, space requirements, and budget considerations. Our designers then create preliminary sketches and digital renderings of potential designs. Once you approve a concept, we develop detailed specifications, select exact materials, and create a precise installation plan. This thorough planning ensures your custom floor design is executed flawlessly and matches your vision perfectly.
How long does it take to install a custom floor design?
The timeline for custom floor design installation varies based on complexity. Simple border inlays or feature strips typically add 1-2 days to standard installation time.

Absolutely. We specialize in creating custom floor designs that complement Columbus's diverse architectural styles. For historic German Village homes, we often create traditional parquet patterns that honor the original character. In Victorian-era homes, we design period-appropriate borders and medallions. For contemporary Grandview or Short North condos, we create modern geometric patterns and mixed-material designs. Our designs can highlight architectural features while respecting your home's heritage.
