Hickory offers dramatic grain variation, while walnut provides rich, warm tones. We source from premium mills and install with meticulous attention to pattern and grain matching.

Electric in-floor heating under tile or stone adds $8–$15/sq ft but transforms bathroom and kitchen comfort. It's especially popular in upscale bathrooms where bare feet meet cold tile on winter mornings. We install heating mats with programmable thermostats for zone-controlled comfort.
