Our Hardwood Flooring Services in Ann Arbor
Hardwood Floor Installation
Add warmth, character, and lasting value with a professionally installed wood floor. Vivid installs solid and engineered hardwood for new construction, renovations, additions, and commercial interiors. We can help with wood selection, plank width, layout, stain color, finish, and custom details so the finished floor feels at home in the surrounding architecture.
Sanding and Finishing
Scratches, dull areas, worn finish, and outdated color do not always mean a hardwood floor needs to be replaced. Professional sanding and refinishing can remove years of surface wear and reveal the natural beauty beneath. We use dust-containment sanding practices to reduce mess, followed by carefully applied stain and finish options that protect the wood and refresh the entire room.
Historic Hardwood Floor Restoration
Original hardwood contributes to the character of many established Ann Arbor homes. Restoring it requires patience, judgment, and respect for the material. Vivid repairs and refinishes older wood floors with the goal of preserving their character while improving durability and appearance. Where boards are damaged or missing, we can assess options for repair, replacement, and blending with the surrounding floor.
Wood Floor Repairs and Matching
Floor damage can be concentrated in a small area or tied to a larger remodeling project. We can evaluate scratched, stained, loose, or damaged boards and determine whether a targeted repair, board replacement, recoating, or full refinishing is the right solution. When a new room or addition meets an existing hardwood floor, we also consider species, dimensions, grain, color, and finish to create a cohesive transition.
Hardwood Floor Maintenance
Routine maintenance helps preserve a floor before deep wear reaches the wood. Vivid provides guidance and service options for keeping hardwood clean, protected, and looking its best. If the finish has become lightly worn but the floor does not require complete sanding, a professional maintenance treatment or recoat may be appropriate after inspection.

Flooring Solutions for the Character of Ann Arbor
Ann Arbor includes an unusually broad mix of architecture and interior styles. Older homes may have narrow-strip oak, maple, or other original flooring worth preserving. Mid-century properties often benefit from clean, natural finishes that respect their design. Renovated homes and new builds may call for wide-plank or engineered hardwood, custom stain colors, or a seamless match between old and new rooms.
Michigan’s seasonal changes also matter. Wood responds naturally to shifts in indoor humidity, expanding and contracting as conditions change. Proper material selection, acclimation, installation, finishing, and ongoing humidity control all contribute to a stable, attractive floor. Our recommendations are based on the floor, subfloor, room conditions, and the way the space will be used—not a one-size-fits-all package.
We serve clients throughout Ann Arbor, including homes and businesses near downtown, Burns Park, Kerrytown, the Old West Side, Water Hill, Arbor Hills, and surrounding communities in Washtenaw County.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide hardwood flooring services throughout Ann Arbor?

Can old hardwood floors be refinished instead of replaced?
Many worn hardwood floors can be restored through sanding and refinishing, but the right choice depends on the thickness, condition, previous sanding, damage, and construction of the floor. We inspect the floor before recommending refinishing, repair, recoating, or replacement.
Do you work on historic or original wood floors?
Yes. Historical hardwood floor restoration is one of our specialties. We take a careful approach to repairs, sanding, color, and finish so the floor’s original character can be preserved whenever practical.
Do you install both solid and engineered hardwood?
Yes. We install solid and engineered hardwood flooring. The best option depends on the space, subfloor, environmental conditions, desired appearance, and long-term expectations.
Is your sanding process dust-free?
We use dust-containment sanding equipment to significantly reduce airborne dust and jobsite mess. No construction process can honestly guarantee zero dust, but containment makes refinishing cleaner and less disruptive than conventional sanding methods.
How long does hardwood floor refinishing take?
Timing varies with the square footage, floor condition, repairs, stain choice, finish system, drying or curing requirements, and site conditions. After evaluating the project, we can provide a more specific schedule and explain when normal foot traffic and furniture placement can resume.
How should Ann Arbor homeowners manage seasonal gaps in hardwood floors?
Some seasonal movement is normal because wood responds to humidity. Keeping indoor humidity reasonably consistent can help limit excessive gaps, cupping, and movement. Vivid’s current care guidance recommends approximately 30% to 50% indoor humidity for hardwood floors.
