Our Step-by-Step Flooring Process
Engineered for dust containment, optimal wood acclimation, and long-lasting protective bond strength.
Initial Inspection & Moisture Verification
We measure ambient humidity and subfloor moisture using calibrated electronic meters to ensure conditions fall strictly within NWFA installation tolerances.
Dustless Coarse Sanding & Prep
Our 220V continuous belt sanders connected to HEPA multi-stage vacuum extractors remove existing finish while capturing over 95% of airborne particulate.
On-Floor Custom Stain Sampling
We apply 3 to 4 customized stain formulation swatches directly onto your bare sanded hardwood so you can verify the color in your home natural daylight.
Precision Finishing & Buffing
We coat the floor with premium low-VOC commercial finish, abrading between coats to maximize inter-coat adhesion and surface clarity.
Final Walkthrough & Care Guide
We inspect every square foot under oblique lighting with you and provide written cure-time instructions before accepting final payment.

Real Reviews from Metro Detroit Property Owners
Read authentic feedback from homeowners, realtors, and general contractors who have worked directly with owner David Cohut and the AA Quality Floors crew.
“We had AA Quality Floors install a floating luxury tile floor in our basement that came out beautiful. The job entailed leveling the concrete floor the day before and then installing about 250 sq feet of lock together tiles. The craftsmanship was excellent and the job went seemless. Work was completed in a timely manner. After the basement, We decided to have David back to install hardwood flooring in our bedroom that we have always talked about but never got to. It also came out excellent. It's nice to finally get these things done and it was a pleasure to deal with AA Quality Floors. They are honest and fair. And their work ethic is excellent. For both the basement and the bedroom job, I will note that I purchased the materials beforehand and scheduled David once they were delivered. Overall, we would definitely recommend AA Quality Floors.”
