Floors for Hillside Homes and Condos
Encino stretches from the Sepulveda Basin south across Ventura Boulevard into the hills, between Tarzana to the west and Sherman Oaks to the east.
Many homes south of the boulevard are larger hillside houses with stairs and several levels. North of it, many streets have single-story homes and condos. For stairs we match treads and nosing to the new floor. On a concrete slab we test moisture and usually recommend engineered hardwood, glued down, as on the project above. For condos, check your building's rules on hard flooring and underlayment before you choose.
How We Install Hardwood
1. Free in-home estimate
We come to your home, measure each room, check the subfloor and talk through options. We bring flooring samples to your home.
2. Subfloor and moisture check
On a concrete slab we test for moisture before we quote. On a raised wood subfloor we check for flatness and loose or squeaky spots.
3. Removal and prep
We remove the old flooring and prep the subfloor, including leveling where it is needed.
4. Installation and trim
We glue, nail or float the new floor to suit your subfloor and product, then finish the stairs and trim.
Engineered or solid?
Both are real wood. Engineered hardwood has a real wood top layer on a layered core, so it moves less as humidity changes, and it is the usual choice on a concrete slab, glued down or floated. Solid hardwood is one piece of wood through the whole plank and goes over a raised wood subfloor, nailed down. Engineered floors like the one in the project above can be glued straight down on a leveled slab.

Already have hardwood you want to keep? We also refinish existing floors.
Wide-Plank Hardwood Options for Encino Homes
Most of the hardwood we install is engineered European white oak. We carry it in wide planks from 7.5″ to 13″ wide, with 2, 4 and 6 mm wear layers, in natural, wire-brushed and custom-stained finishes. Very wide planks work better in larger rooms, so we talk through plank width room by room at the in-home visit.
Patterns and stairs
As a licensed flooring contractor, we install herringbone and chevron patterns as well as straight planks, and we plan the layout before we order. In multi-level homes south of Ventura Boulevard, we carry the floor onto the stairs with matching treads, risers and nosing, and plan the transition at each landing.
Hardwood first, with laminate and vinyl where they fit
Hardwood is our focus, but in kitchens, baths and laundry rooms many Encino homeowners choose waterproof vinyl plank, and laminate suits kids’ rooms and rentals. We can quote every room in one visit; see waterproof vinyl flooring and laminate flooring.
