What is site-finished hardwood flooring?

Site-finished hardwood is installed raw, then sanded, stained, and sealed in your home. That on-site process creates a flat, seamless surface without factory bevels and allows custom color and sheen matched to your space.

What wood species do you install in Denver?

Senior Floors installs and finishes many species common in Colorado homes, including White Oak, Red Oak, Hickory, American Cherry, Black Walnut, Ash, Australian Cypress, Brazilian Cherry (Jatoba). We help you choose based on hardness, stability in dry climates, and the look you want.

How many stain colors are available?

We offer 36 DuraSeal stain colors for visualization on this page (shown on White Oak). On-site samples on your actual wood are always recommended before the final application.

How long does site-finished hardwood take to install?

Most residential projects take about 4–7 days from install through sanding, staining, and curing of finish, depending on square footage, repairs, number of coat cycles, and humidity. We give a written timeline after we see your space.

Step 2: Select Your Grade

Understanding Wood Grades

Grading describes the visual character of the wood — not its quality. The right grade depends on your style, not your budget.

* Grades may vary by species.

Select & Better

Clean, uniform, minimal variation

The most refined grade available. Select & Better uses only boards with minimal natural markings, producing a smooth, consistent look throughout the entire floor.

Minimal knots, holes, or mineral streaks
Uniform color across boards
Longer, consistent board lengths
Best for modern, clean, or contemporary interiors

$$$

Euro Character

Slightly more character than Select

Euro Character allows for slightly longer planks and a broader range of natural coloring than Select & Better, while still maintaining a refined, polished appearance.

Broader color range than Select
Allows for longer plank lengths
Minimal knots or holes
Popular for transitional-style interiors

$$$

#1 Common

Natural variation with character

#1 Common embraces the natural personality of the wood — with varied color tones, occasional knots, and mixed board lengths that give the floor warmth and individuality.

Wider range of light and dark boards
Some knots and small holes
Varying board lengths
Suits traditional, rustic, and transitional homes

$$$

#2 Common

Maximum character and rustic appeal

#2 Common is the most rustic grade, showcasing the full range of nature's markings — visible mineral streaks, larger knots, wormholes, and dramatic color variation.
