Hardwood & Engineered Hardwood Floor Installation
Hardwood floors are the “forever” look—when they’re installed correctly. We install both solid hardwood and engineered hardwood in Grandville, Grand Rapids, and nearby cities, focusing on the details that protect your investment: flat subfloors, correct spacing, intentional layout, and crisp transitions.
Hardwood Install Details That Matter
- Acclimation planning: wood needs time and proper conditions before install
- Subfloor prep: flatness, fastening, and squeak fixes
- Layout: plank direction, seams, and transitions at openings
- Trim & edges: clean perimeter details and professional finishing
Solid vs Engineered Hardwood
- Solid hardwood: classic feel, long-term refinishing potential
- Engineered hardwood: added stability for seasonal swings (common in Michigan)

Local Ownership: Casey Cochran & Scott Klaver
Local Flooring Installation is owned by Casey Cochran and Scott Klaver. They’ve known each other since middle school, and after 8 years of Scott installing flooring on his own, they built a team to deliver higher standards across West Michigan.
We care about training, integrity, and punctuality. The difference isn’t where you buy the wood—it’s the quality of the install and the people you trust in your home.
Two families rooted in Grandville, now proud residents of Allendale and Jenison—from our family to yours.

Hardwood Installation FAQ
Do you help with acclimation and spacing?
Yes. Proper acclimation and correct expansion gaps help prevent movement issues down the road.

Often yes, depending on product requirements and moisture management. We’ll recommend the right system.
Will you fix squeaks and soft subfloor areas?
If needed, yes. Prep is a major part of a long-lasting hardwood install.
