Questions
Why is humidity control important for hardwood floors?
Maintaining 40-60% humidity prevents cupping, cracking, and warping by stabilizing wood expansion and contraction.
Can you match my existing hardwood floor?
We achieve excellent matches in most cases, though natural wood aging may cause slight color variations over time.
What is acclimation for wood flooring?
Acclimation allows wood to adjust to your home's humidity and temperature, reducing gaps or cupping after installation.
Do you handle tear-out of old flooring?
Yes, we can remove existing floors for an additional fee, ensuring a clean installation process.
How long before floors cure after refinishing?
Water-based finishes cure in 7 days; oil-based finishes take about 30 days. Avoid rugs for 7 days.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes, we provide free in-home or virtual estimates for all flooring and cabinetry projects.

Critical: Professionalism, Punctuality, Value DO NOT RECOMMEND! - Blew off a local customer for customers in Grand Rapids. Had an appointment with a sale rep scheduled and they even called back to move the appointment to an earlier time. Took requested time off work. Yeah they called 5 minutes before my scheduled time

We had our 60 ish year old hardwood floors refinished and they could not look better. The red oak is really pretty and looks like a million bucks. The guys were great working around our wheelchair access issues and they were very polite and did an amazing job. Estimate was spot on and would call them back in a heartbeat.

Rivershores did a great job in matching the wood floor installed about 20 years ago. I also appreciated their willingness to work with our schedule and limit the dust during the installation. The Installers were knowledgeable and professional
