In short
Mirror Image Wood Flooring installs solid and engineered hardwood, laminate and luxury vinyl plank floors — including stair treads — for homes and businesses within 100 miles of Bangor, Maine. Every job starts with a free on-site estimate and subfloor check.
What's included
A floor is only as good as what's under it, so installation starts with the subfloor. We check it for flatness, squeaks and moisture before a single board goes down, then fasten, glue or float the new floor using the method the product and your home call for.
- Solid hardwood (oak, maple, hickory, birch and more) and engineered hardwood
- Laminate and luxury vinyl plank (LVP)
- Stair treads, risers and nosing that match the surrounding floor
- Transitions, thresholds and baseboard/shoe molding
- Site-finished hardwood, sanded and coated in place for a seamless look
Acclimation matters in Maine
Maine's dry heating season and humid summers make wood expand and contract more than in milder climates. We make sure new flooring has acclimated to your home and leave the right expansion gaps so boards don't cup, gap or buckle as the seasons change.
Good fit for
- Replacing worn carpet with hardwood
- Kitchen, living room and whole-home remodels
- New construction and additions
- Matching or extending an existing hardwood floor into a new room
- Small commercial spaces, offices and rentals
Flooring Installation: common questions
How long does hardwood floor installation take?
Most single rooms are installed in one to two days. A whole floor of a typical home takes several days, and site-finished hardwood needs extra time for sanding and coats of finish. You'll get a timeline with your free estimate.
Do you install engineered hardwood and vinyl plank too?
Yes. Mirror Image Wood Flooring installs solid hardwood, engineered hardwood, laminate and luxury vinyl plank, and can recommend which suits each room — engineered or vinyl is often the better choice for basements and other areas with moisture.
Can you install hardwood on stairs?
Yes. Stair treads, risers and nosing are installed to match the surrounding floor so the staircase looks continuous.
