Hardwood, Stone & Designer Flooring
From European wide-plank French white oak and complex chevron patterns to large-format porcelain tile and architectural stone, we deliver laser-leveled subfloors and museum-quality finish execution.
Engineering Precision.
Uncompromising Execution.
Flooring is the architectural canvas upon which every other interior design decision rests.
A stunning floor is only as durable as the subfloor beneath it. At Progress Interior Designs, we invest as much care into grinding concrete high spots, patching subfloor depressions, and applying moisture barriers as we do into the visible finish layer.
Whether you desire 8-inch wide-plank European white oak with a matte reactive stain, intricate custom herringbone borders, or 24”x48” continuous Italian porcelain tile with 1/16” grout lines, our master floor layers execute every threshold, flush register, and transition with microscopic precision.
Laser Subfloor Preparation
Diamond grinding of concrete slabs, self-leveling underlayment pours, and moisture barrier epoxies to ensure total flatness to 1/8” over 10 feet.
Handcrafted Patterns & Borders
Custom herringbone, chevron, parquet, and feature borders hand-milled and scribed to walls and fireplace hearths.
Acoustic Sound & Moisture Barriers
Commercial sound-dampening underlayment and high-performance moisture mitigation membranes to prevent cupping and buckling.
Flush Architectural Transitions
Custom-milled flush wood base registers, zero-transition threshold reducers, and seamless transitions between hardwood and tile.
Master Hardwood & Precision Tile Installation
Comprehensive Flooring Installation Scope
Turnkey removal, prep, leveling, installation, and custom finishing under one roof.
Existing Floor & Tack Strip Removal
Dust-controlled removal of old tile, carpet, hardwood, and mastic down to bare concrete or plywood.
Diamond Grinding & Leveling
Grinding high spots, filling voids with self-leveling cementitious compounds, and testing concrete moisture emissions.
Vapor Barrier & Epoxy Priming
Roll-applied moisture mitigation epoxy (Bostik or Wakol) preventing vapor transmission up to 100% RH.
Glue-Assist & Full-Spread Adhesion
Full-trowel urethane adhesive with sound and moisture barrier properties, eliminating squeaks and movement.
Large-Format Tile Setting
Using mechanical leveling clips to guarantee zero lippage across 24”x48” and 30”x30” porcelain slabs.
On-Site Custom Stain Samples
Applying 3–5 custom stain formulas directly onto your installed wood for evaluation under your home's natural light.
Bona Commercial Polyurethane
