Hardwood Craftsmanship Across Chicagoland
New hardwood should feel intentional from room to room. MGM Floors plans the layout, prepares the surface, and resolves edges and transitions so the finished floor belongs in the space.

Hardwood installation is more than fastening planks. The direction of the boards, the rhythm of joints, the condition of the subfloor, and the way the new surface meets stairs, tile, cabinetry, and doorways all shape the result.
MGM approaches those decisions as one connected plan. We review the room and material, identify details that need attention, and install with a clean, consistent layout suited to the property.
The MGM Approach
Every property presents different conditions. These steps create a practical framework while leaving room for the decisions each project requires.
We consider the rooms, existing surfaces, access points, transitions, and the visual direction of the floor.
Board type, width, direction, and key sightlines are reviewed before installation begins.
The installation surface is checked so necessary preparation can be addressed rather than hidden beneath the new floor.
Boards are placed with attention to joint distribution, room-to-room flow, edges, and fixed architectural elements.
Transitions, perimeter work, and finishing details are reviewed for a cohesive final presentation.
Material Considerations
Both can produce a genuine wood floor. The better fit depends on the installation location, site conditions, construction, and the look you want to carry through the home or business.
Each board is milled from one piece of wood. It is often considered where the structure and installation conditions support a traditional solid-wood assembly.
A real-wood wear layer is bonded over a layered core. Its construction can make it useful for situations where solid hardwood is not the preferred assembly.
What Makes the Difference
A strong visual result depends on decisions that are easy to overlook once furniture returns to the room.

Frequently Asked Questions
Often, yes. A continuous installation requires planning board direction, starting lines, thresholds, and how the layout passes through doorways or open transitions. The existing structure and surfaces also need to be reviewed.
The choice depends on the location, subfloor, installation method, product construction, desired appearance, and surrounding conditions. MGM can review those factors with you before the material is finalized.
Not in every situation. The correct approach depends on what is currently installed, its condition, finished floor heights, transitions, and the requirements of the selected wood product.
It may be possible, but species, dimensions, direction, height, condition, and color all affect the connection. A site review helps determine whether a blended transition or a clearly defined break is more appropriate.
Wood species, natural variation, room lighting, nearby cabinetry and trim, and the desired sheen all influence the result. Samples should be considered in the actual project environment whenever practical.
