Flooring Installation

Expertly Installed. Beautifully Finished.

When you’ve invested in the perfect hardwood floor, the installation should be just as flawless as the material. With over 25 years of experience, we approach each project with precision, care, and a deep understanding of how to make your floors look and perform their best.

Why Professional Installation Matters

Great floors don’t just happen. It takes trained eyes, skilled hands, and the right tools to bring your vision to life, especially when dealing with intricate layouts, custom finishes, or high-end materials.

Trying to DIY or hire a general contractor might seem like a shortcut, but it can lead to uneven seams, gaps, or worse, voided warranties. We’ve seen it too many times. That’s why we handle every detail, from prep to final polish, so you can feel confident knowing your investment is protected and perfected.

The SOTA Installation Process

We make every step of the installation smooth, clear, and stress-free, because
your flooring experience should be just as exceptional as the final result.

1. In-Home Assessment

We start by visiting your space to evaluate your subfloor, layout, and lifestyle needs. This ensures we recommend the right installation approach for lasting results.

2. Personalized Project Planning

From pattern layout to trim details, we’ll walk you through the design and logistics. We tailor every project to your home and your vision.

3. Site Prep

We carefully prepare your space, including leveling the subfloor, managing moisture barriers, and protecting adjacent surfaces.

4. Installation

Using precision tools and proven techniques, our experienced team installs your floors with care and craftsmanship. Clean lines, tight seams, and attention to every detail come standard.

5. Final Walkthrough & Clean-Up

Before we consider the job complete, we do a full inspection, clean the space thoroughly, and make sure you’re 100% satisfied with the results.

We were very impressed with the sales, installation and follow-up experience we had with State of the Art Flooring Gallery. Thank you for an awesome job, our new laminate floor looks great. They are easy to maintain and the pricing was very reasonable.

Eric is honest and very knowledgeable. He fixed a stubborn stain on the wood floors. Saving the day by avoiding an entire resand of the floors. I highly recommend him, you won't be disappointed!

State of the Art Wood Flooring was amazing to work with. This is my 3rd experience with them. I had a leak in my apartment and my fairly new floors that they installed a few years ago were destroyed. Everything was super professional and fast. My new floors are even nicer than my old ones!

Eric and his team at SOTA have been fantastic. They installed new engineered rift and quartered white oak flooring over radiant heating (Warm Board) and maneuvered around tiled surfaces as well as steel railings. Then, they re-finished and stained existing red oak flooring to match the new white oak. No matter the challenge, Eric had a solution. And, he was flexible, communicative and very friendly throughout. He and his guys are great -- we recommend them highly.

Such professional and high quality service! I was beyond pleased with the work done in my condo (all my floors were replaced). Everything was completed on time and within budget, and I can’t recommend Eric and his wonderful team at SOTA more highly!

This review is long over due. Eric and his team could not have been better. We closed on Thursday afternoon and Eric and his team were in sanding down the floors Friday morning. Our plan was to go with a light natural floor. Upon sanding the team found out the original developer used two different color woods and sealed it over with a dark brown finish. Something we didn’t want. SOTA came up with a grey floor solution that we loved and was able to cover up the dark wood planks. I believe we moved into the apartment the following Thursday, only a week from closing despite the unforeseen curveball. Everyone who comes over compliments us on our floors. Thanks SOTA.

I highly recommend working with SOTA. I feel so lucky that I stumbled upon them. They helped guide me through the decision process of picking hardwood flooring. They were objective and impartial, and helped me make the best decision for my needs. Then they installed the new flooring in our new apartment. This is my first time doing any kind of renovation. I worked with a contractor and SOTA. The contrast between those two relationships was striking. While my contractor was challenging to work with, Eric from SOTA was a great communicator, honest, transparent, helpful, and he frequently engaged in creative problem-solving. I could not be happier having worked with them, and the floor looks incredible. Google reviews helped me make my decision, and I hope this review can point you in the right direction as well. Eric and SOTA is an NYC treasure.
