Hardwood floors, for the Park Cities’ historic homes and new custom builds

Texas Hardwood Flooring installs solid and engineered hardwood floors in Highland Park and University Park, TX. Homes in the Park Cities range from classic Tudors, Georgians, and traditional homes with original oak floors to newly built custom homes, and each calls for a different approach.

In older homes, the work is often about continuity: adding new hardwood that matches original floors, extending flooring into an addition, or restoring floors that have been refinished many times. In new construction, it is about hitting a designer’s exact color and sheen across an entire home.

We are a three-generation, family-owned company based in Dallas, with more than 50 years of experience behind our team. A senior project manager or one of our owners is involved in every project.

Solid Hardwood

Solid Hardwood in Highland Park & University Park

Solid hardwood is the traditional choice in the Park Cities, and many established homes still have their original solid oak floors. When we add new solid hardwood next to an existing floor, we match the species, plank width, and layout so the new rooms read as part of the original home.

Solid hardwood can be sanded and refinished several times over the life of a home, which is a big part of why it holds its value. During our walk-through, we check door and cabinet heights and the subfloor to confirm solid is the right fit for each room.

Species we install most often

  • White Oak
  • Red Oak
  • Walnut
  • Hickory
  • Maple

Engineered Hardwood

Engineered Hardwood in the Park Cities

Engineered hardwood has a real wood wear layer over a cross-laminated core. It is a beautiful option for the wide-plank designs often specified in new Park Cities custom homes and major remodels.

The right choice between solid and engineered usually comes down to plank width, the height of your door frames and cabinets, and your budget. We walk through each of these with you during your in-home consultation, so the decision is made room by room, not by guesswork.

Premium engineered options

  • White Oak
  • Walnut
  • Hickory
  • Wide-plank
  • Exotic species

Custom On-Site Finishing

Matching Original Floors With On-Site Finishing

Matching a new floor to an older one is where on-site finishing matters most. We install the wood raw, then sand, stain, and seal it in your home. Stain samples go down on your actual floor, in your light, so you approve the color before anything is finished.

That process lets us blend additions, remodeled kitchens, and staircases into existing floors, or hit a designer-specified color exactly across a whole home. Learn more about how site-finished hardwood works.

Refinishing & Restoration

Refinishing and Restoring Original Hardwood

Many Park Cities floors are worth saving. Refinishing removes years of wear and gray, then rebuilds the finish with three to four coats. It is also a chance to change the color entirely, from a traditional brown to a lighter, more modern tone.

Floors that have been sanded many times may not have enough wood left above the tongue for another full sanding. We check that during the consultation and tell you plainly whether refinishing, repairing sections, or replacing is the better investment. Our guide to care, repair, or replacement explains the difference.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jesse was awesome to work with. Excellent experience with this family run company. They repaired our kitchen hardwood floor and did a fantastic job. Their pricing was competitive, they were professional and efficient, and it’s clear they take pride in their work. We’re very happy with the results and would highly recommend them.

Like most of us, I’m busy and hate shopping around for a million estimates so I trust Google reviews to help me find contractors. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t. I can say, with 100% confidence, the great team at Texas Hardwood deserves even more stars. The office was responsive, quickly connected me with Jesse who got out for an estimate and explanation. The pricing was fair and I said “let’s do it.” Jesse, Jose and the crew were efficient, on time and did impeccable work. Jesse followed up and immediately agreed to fix the only minor item. I would recommend this team to anyone!!

Jesse’s team with Texas Hardwood Flooring did a great job with my floors. From removing previous flooring to installing new hardwood, the team honored with knowledge, professionalism, and was very patient with the back and forths of the project. They were very reasonable and solution-oriented with my questions/concerns. Would definitely recommend and trust them with hardwood flooring installations.👍

Texas Hardwood Flooring came through for us again on our new house in Dallas. We needed several floor patches, and they did an incredible job. The patched areas are completely seamless, and the color match is perfect. What impressed us even more was their honesty. They realized the baseboards were not needed and actually refunded that cost, which is rare to see from a contractor these days. The project was finished on time, under budget, and with great attention to detail. We could not be more pleased. I would highly recommend Jesse and his incredible crew to anyone.

Jesse and his team did a fantastic job and I would highly recommend them. This was a large project in Dallas TX, that involved replacing about 700 sq ft of maple hardwood floors due to water damage and refinishing the entire downstairs hardwoods and matching them to the exisiting upstairs hardwoods. The water damage was more extensive than we thought and required replacing the subfloors down to the slab, waterproofing the slab and subfloors etc. The maple stain is a dark stain which I understand is difficult to get right but they did a great job and we were very satisfied. Jesse was very good with communications and we worked through some issues to make sure everything turned out great. The project took close to a month but they took care of moving the furniture out and back in again.

We found a beautiful home in Plano, TX, with a lot of potential, but the downstairs fake wood wasn’t going to work for us. We wanted to install real wood downstairs and refinish the wood upstairs so the whole house looked beautiful and consistent. This was a large project, so we talked to several installers and just didn’t feel comfortable with anyone until we spoke with Bryan from Texas Hardwood Flooring. I could tell immediately that Texas Hardwood and Bryan were honest, fair, and knowledgeable from the start. They walked us through the installation process, the timeline, and the price, and we just knew they were the right choice. The best part was that they not only delivered, but exceeded our expectations. Our floors are beautiful, and we get so many compliments at our gatherings. When taking on a large project like flooring, I’m so glad we went with a market- and customer-focused leader like Texas Hardwood Flooring and Bryan.

It was a pleasure working with Jesse on our flooring project. His expert crew, spearheaded by Jose, exceeded our expectations. They tore out our original carpet and were able to provide a pretty much identical match to our existing hardwood. ​The team completely transformed our home in Grand Prairie with site-finished Red Oak floors, custom hand-scraping, and a matching stain. The craftsmanship is truly top-tier—the stairs are now a major highlight of our home and turned out even better than imagined. The crew was professional and very polite throughout the project. Aside from some minor delays on logistics, the quality of the final result completely overshined everything else. If you want a high-end result from a team that truly knows their craft, I highly recommend them—the quality of their work is second to none!

We have hardwood floors in our home and wanted to add three additional rooms and a staircase in our Frisco home. I contacted Texas Hardwood Flooring and they removed our old carpet, installed new hardwood flooring, and custom hand-scraped it to match our existing floors perfectly. This is our third home, and we haven’t always had great experiences with contractors, but I couldn’t be happier with Jesse and his crews. The floors turned out beautifully, and the team was professional and great to work with. Thank you all so much. I would highly recommend them!

Moving into our first home in East Dallas was a dream, but the existing floors needed a serious revival. The living room and upstairs hardwoods were dull, and the kitchen and guest bedroom floors were a total eyesore. We called Texas Hardwood Flooring, where Jesse helped us take the entire space to the next level. We started by revitalizing the original hardwoods. In my opinion, nothing beats the character of natural wood; the look and feel are both calming and sophisticated. Jesse was instrumental in helping us navigate the staining process. He walked us through different shades to find a tone that brightens the rooms by day, but feels warm and soothing when the sun sets and the lights dim. For the kitchen and guest bedroom, we had a clean slate. We wanted an urban, "Amsterdam-inspired" energy that welcomed the spirit of the city into the home. Jesse and his team took our initial ideas and hit a home run—the brick tile herringbone they installed is, to this day, my favorite feature of the house. The craftsmanship is undeniable. The transitions between the wood and tile are seamless, and the installation is flawless. Throughout the process, the team was professional, kept a clean worksite, and stayed perfectly on schedule. If you need a team with true creative vision and incredible attention to detail, I cannot recommend Texas Hardwood Flooring enough!

Frequently asked questions

Answers to what Highland Park and University Park homeowners ask us most.

Can you match new hardwood to the original floors in an older Park Cities home?
In most cases, yes. We match the species and plank width, weave the new flooring into the existing layout, and finish it on site so the stain is built against your original floor. Where the floors connect without a threshold, we usually refinish the connected area so the whole space reads as one floor.
Should I refinish my original floors or replace them?
It depends on how much wood is left and the condition of the floor. Solid hardwood that has not been sanded too many times is usually worth refinishing. We measure and test during the consultation and give you a straight recommendation.
Do you work with designers and builders on new custom homes?
Yes. We regularly coordinate with designers and builders on whole-home installations, sampling stains on site so the finished floor matches the design exactly.
Should I choose solid or engineered hardwood?
Both are real wood. The decision usually comes down to plank width, door and cabinet heights, and budget. We review each room with you during the in-home consultation and recommend what fits best.
