Our Prime Residential Hardwood Flooring Services in Miami
Hardwood Floor Installation
We know that Miami’s heat and humidity can make or break a new hardwood floor. That shapes the way we provide residential hardwood floor installation. We let your boards acclimate, add underlayment, and moisture barriers where your subfloor needs them. Our flooring crew can recommend nail-down, staple-down, glue-down, or floating methods based on your subfloor conditions. Choose from solid, engineered, prefinished, unfinished, or wide plank hardwood for your home, condo, or townhouse. We finish with trim, transitions, and baseboards, and most one or two-room projects take 1 to 2 days, while a main level typically takes 3 to 5 days.
Hardwood Floor Repair
A scratch, a squeaky board, or a cupped spot doesn’t mean your whole floor has to go. Our hardwood floor repair handles scratches, dents, gouges, loose or cracked boards, nail pops, and gaps. We also handle spot repair and replacement for buckling and warping floors and pet stains. We match species, plank width, grain, and sheen so the fix seamlessly blends new boards with the old. Trust us, you’ll be excited to welcome back guests into your home after this.
Hardwood Floor Replacement
Miami Custom Wood Floors, an NWFA-certified team, handles full and partial hardwood floor replacement for homeowners from the initial demolition phase and disposal to installing new boards. We replace old, worn, water-damaged, warped, or pet-damaged boards. We also convert carpet, tile, or laminate to your choice of hardwood design and material. For partial jobs, we weave new boards into your existing floor and match species, stain, and sheen. The result is a seamless hardwood surface that restores your home’s look, removes the damage for good, and gives you a floor built to last.
Hardwood Floor Refinishing
Your worn, dull, or scratched floors can look brand new again without a full replacement. Our hardwood floor refinishing includes dustless sanding, drum and edge sanding, and finish removal. These are particularly important so we can sand and refinish your hardwood floors cleanly. Choose a custom stain, color change, whitewash, or natural finish, sealed with Bona Traffic HD water-based polyurethane, Loba 2K Supra, or Rubio Monocoat hardwax oil in matte, satin, or gloss. We also screen and recoat floors that only need a light refresh.
Engineered Hardwood Flooring Installation
Engineered hardwood is a smart pick for Miami’s humid climate, which is why we install it so often. Our engineered hardwood installation covers prefinished and wide plank boards in hand-scraped, wire-brushed, and reclaimed look styles. Our flooring experts choose between floating, glue-down, and staple-down methods to fit what’s best for your home or building. We also take care of the prep work that keeps floors stable, including concrete slab preparation, underlayment, acoustic underlayment, moisture barriers, and vapor retarders. That makes engineered hardwood a good fit for your condos, apartments, basements, and even your kitchens.
Custom & Patterned Flooring
Your floor can be a design feature in your Miami home. Our custom hardwood flooring includes herringbone, chevron, parquet, basketweave, and Versailles patterns. We also install borders, inlays, medallions, and mixed species designs. Add hand-scraped, wire-brushed, or reclaimed-look textures for character. We’re experts in handling historic reproduction and repair for patterned floors, borders, and inlays. Miami Custom Wood Floors recommend the herringbone design in engineered hardwood for a timeless style, and it handles the Midlands humidity well.
Commercial Hardwood Flooring Services for Miami Businesses
Commercial Hardwood Floor Installation
Our commercial hardwood floor installation turns your business space into a floor that looks great and handles daily traffic. Miami Custom Wood Floors installs solid, engineered, prefinished, site-finished, wide plank, and reclaimed hardwood for commercial and community spaces. Our team sets up underlayment, acoustic underlayment, and vapor barriers underneath each hardwood installation. Phased, after-hours, and weekend installation keeps your business running, and reducers, T molding, and flush transitions finish the job cleanly. That means less downtime and no floor headaches.
Commercial Hardwood Floor Repair & Replacement
Busy floors often take a beating from cart and trolley damage to furniture dents and gaps caused by humidity. Our commercial hardwood floor repair fixes those scratches, gouges, loose and cracked boards. We also deal with cupping and buckling, along with localized board repairs. When damage runs deeper, we offer partial and full commercial hardwood floor replacement, from lobby floors to high-traffic areas. We match existing flooring and blend in new boards with the old. And we do it with expert hands so your Miami business looks sharp again.
Commercial Refinishing & Maintenance
You might have a busy restaurant, retail, hotel, or school with floors that have worn down fast over the past months. Our commercial hardwood floor refinishing includes dustless, phased, and after-hours sanding, then a low VOC finish such as Bona Traffic HD or Loba 2K Supra in matte or satin. We also offer staining, color change, and commercial hardwood floor maintenance, including deep cleaning, scheduled recoating, and wear layer renewal, so your floors keep looking sharp.
Custom & Patterned Flooring
We turn hotel lobbies, restaurants, and boutiques into architectural focal points through custom and patterned flooring designs. Popular choices for Miami businesses include interlocking herringbone, chevron, parquet, and Versailles patterns. For more branded looks, clients can finish with borders, medallions, and logos set into the floor. Precise alignment keeps every joint tight and every angle clean from wall to wall, even on inlays and curved designs. We finish the surface with a scratch-resistant matte polyurethane or a rich natural oil. This step protects the wood grain from heavy foot traffic and Miami’s strong sun.
Hardwood Floor Restoration
When a burst pipe, flood, or storm hits your Miami restaurant, hotel, or shop, you can’t wait on a damaged floor. We handle commercial water-damaged hardwood repair, from water stains, black stains, and odor-affected boards to cupping, buckling, warped, or delaminated engineered hardwood. We replace damaged boards, blend new with old using stain matching, then sand and refinish. Vapor and moisture barriers protect against the next storm. After hurricane or flood damage, Miami Custom Wood Floors documents the work for your insurance claim.
Screening & Recoating
Our commercial screen and recoat service renews worn hardwood without the cost or downtime of a full refinish. Miami Custom Wood Floors restores high-traffic floors in commercial spaces and establishments with physical or chemical recoating, light abrasion, and adding a fresh protective topcoat that renews the wear layer. Our crew schedules quick-turnaround, low-disruption recoats between operating periods so your business runs as usual. Ransom Everglades School in Coconut Grove regularly calls on us to recoat its gym floor.

Miami Custom Wood Floor Installation Process
When you call Miami Custom Wood Floors, we'll walk you through our process from start to finish. Our founder, Clark, has been in this business for 27 years and believes in being upfront about what to expect. After all, you're welcoming our crew into your home or business, and you should feel completely confident in how we work. We're licensed through Miami-Dade County and hold a Certificate of Competency, so you can verify who you're hiring.
For both residential and commercial jobs, our process includes:
Free Consultation
We visit your property to look at your space, talk through your style and how the floor will be used, and answer your questions. For condos and commercial spaces, we also go over building rules and scheduling.
Measurement and Moisture Testing
We take precise measurements and test your subfloor for moisture. Miami's humidity and concrete slabs make this step essential before any wood goes down.
Material Selection
We help you choose between solid, engineered, prefinished, unfinished, or wide plank hardwood, plus the species and finish. Our recommendations are based on your subfloor, your lifestyle, and Miami's climate.
Subfloor Preparation and Acclimation
We level and repair the subfloor, install underlayment and moisture barriers where needed, and let your boards acclimate. When we disturb paint in homes built before 1978, we follow EPA Lead-Safe (RRP) practices.
Installation
Our NWFA-certified crew installs your floor using the nail-down, staple-down, glue-down, or floating method that suits your subfloor. Our OSHA-trained team keeps the jobsite clean and safe.
Finishing and Final Walkthrough
We complete trim, transitions, and baseboards, apply the finish on site-finished floors, and walk through the finished work with you. We don't call the job done until it meets your expectations.
For condos and commercial spaces, we can also add sound-rated underlayment and schedule work after hours to limit disruption.
Timelines vary with project size and subfloor conditions. Most one- or two-room projects take 1 to 2 days, a main level typically takes 3 to 5 days, and larger commercial jobs are scheduled in phases.

Miami Custom Wood Floors: Flooring Installation, Care, and What Homeowners Need to Know
One of the first questions homeowners ask when planning a flooring upgrade is which material will work best for their home, and in Miami, climate is an important factor to consider. With high humidity, heavy rainfall, and seasonal temperature changes, choosing the right flooring and installation method can make a significant difference in its long-term durability and appearance. Hardwood flooring offers a timeless, elegant look that complements a wide range of interior styles, while engineered wood flooring can provide greater dimensional stability in environments where humidity levels fluctuate. Before beginning a project, it's worth evaluating the home's moisture conditions, subfloor quality, and everyday usage to ensure the flooring is suitable for the space.
Proper preparation and professional installation are equally important for achieving lasting results. Subfloor inspection, moisture testing, acclimation of flooring materials, and selecting the appropriate installation method all help reduce the risk of gaps, warping, and other common flooring problems. For homeowners considering a renovation, working with an experienced flooring professional can make the process smoother, from choosing the right wood species and finish to completing installation with attention to detail. At Miami Custom Wood Floors, the focus is on helping homeowners enhance their interiors with beautiful, durable flooring solutions tailored to their preferences and property needs. Whether you're upgrading an existing floor, replacing worn-out materials, or planning a complete flooring transformation, choosing the right products and installation approach can help protect your investment for years to come.

What Clients Have to Say About Us
“We’d just moved into our Brickell condo, and the building had all these rules about flooring before they’d let us start. The crew took care of everything and explained each step so we never felt lost. They finished in three days and left the place spotless. A year later, the floor still looks brand new, and we get compliments from everyone who visits.”
Daniela Fernández
Condo Owner, Brickell
“A burst pipe flooded our dining room right before the weekend rush. Miami Custom Wood Floors came out the next morning, pulled the damaged boards, and matched the stain so closely I can’t tell where the new wood starts. They worked after hours so we only lost one night of service, and they gave us the photos and invoices our insurance adjuster needed.”
Marcus Alvarez
Restaurant Owner, Coral Gables
“We specifically wanted a herringbone floor with a walnut border for a boutique hotel lobby, and I was worried about getting the angles right across such a big space. The crew laid it out first, kept every joint tight, and finished the whole thing in phases so guests could still check in. Our guests comment on that floor all the time.”
Priya Raman
Hotel General Manager, Miami Beach
