Hardwood Floor Installation · Bedford, TX
Engineered and solid hardwood for Bedford homes, installed after the old parquet, vinyl or carpet comes up and the slab underneath has been checked and prepared.
Family-owned · Licensed & insured, Lic. #238190 · Financing available
Most hardwood floor installation in Bedford is replacement work: a house built in the 1970s or 1980s, an original floor that has worn out or gone out of style, and an owner who wants real wood instead. Before any new boards arrive, the old floor has to come up cleanly and the concrete under it has to be ready.
Species, grades, fastening methods and pricing factors are explained on our main hardwood floor installation page. Here we cover what tends to come up in Bedford houses, from parquet removal to slab prep.
Bedford filled in fast. The city went from 10,049 residents in 1970 to 43,762 in 1990 (U.S. Census), and the median home here was built in 1983, according to American Community Survey estimates for 2020 to 2024. Since then the city has been close to fully developed: only about 3 percent of its housing went up in 2010 or later. So nearly every hardwood job we quote in Bedford begins with taking something out.
What comes up varies. Some houses still have glue-down parquet, a style whose popularity in American homes peaked in the 1960s. Others have sheet vinyl in the kitchen, ceramic tile in the entry and carpet everywhere else. The concern is what holds those floors down. The EPA warns that the backing on older sheet vinyl and some black adhesives, often called black mastic, may contain asbestos, so we do not grind or scrape suspect residue until a lab test clears it. Once the slab is clean, we check moisture and flatness, then usually recommend engineered hardwood glued to the concrete or floated over a moisture barrier, since solid boards need a wood subfloor to nail into.

Why choose us
3%
of Bedford homes built in 2010 or later (ACS 2020-2024)
In a city this built out, a new wood floor almost always replaces an old one. We price removal, disposal and slab cleanup as separate lines, look under a corner of the old floor at the estimate when we can and tell you before work starts if adhesive needs testing. You see the full cost of reaching bare concrete.
1,360 lbf
Janka hardness of white oak (red oak is 1,290)
Red and white oak cover most Bedford requests, and white oak rates a little harder on the Janka scale. Hickory, at 1,820, suits big dogs and busy kitchens. We bring samples of each, explain how stain color and sheen change how scratches show and let you decide while holding the boards in your own light.

FAQ
Sometimes. If every parquet tile is firmly bonded and flat, some engineered floors can float over it, as long as the added height still clears doors, appliances and thresholds. Loose or cupped tiles have to come up first. If we remove parquet, we look at the adhesive underneath and have it tested before anyone grinds it.
It is, but it costs more. Solid 3/4 inch boards are nailed, so on concrete they need a plywood subfloor fastened over a moisture barrier, which raises the floor and adds labor. Engineered hardwood bonds or floats directly over the prepared slab and can look the same once installed. We can price both.
Yes. Bedford covers about 10 square miles in the Mid-Cities, between Hurst and Euless along SH 183 and SH 121, and we work across all of it from our base in Arlington.
