Explore the hardwood flooring craftsmanship I provide across Connecticut, from restoration and refinishing to custom luxury floors.

Hardwood Flooring Projects in Connecticut

Since 1976, I have dedicated my work to hardwood flooring craftsmanship. At M B Kubisek, my projects range from refinishing and restoring existing hardwood to installing completely new luxury floors and creating detailed custom designs.

Every project presents a different opportunity.

Some homeowners want to preserve the hardwood that has been part of their property for decades. Others are renovating and need new flooring that connects updated rooms naturally. Some want a floor with a stronger architectural presence through wide plank boards, herringbone, custom parquet, borders, medallions, or geometric designs.

I approach each of these projects with the same fundamental goal: create or restore hardwood flooring that complements the individual home.

My work serves homeowners throughout Connecticut, including Fairfield County, Middlesex County, New Haven county, New London County , and surrounding communities.

This project gallery represents the range of hardwood flooring craftsmanship I bring to Connecticut homes.

Luxury Hardwood Floor Installation Projects

A new hardwood floor can change the character of an entire interior.



My luxury hardwood floor installation work begins with the home rather than a predetermined flooring formula. I consider room dimensions, architectural details, entrances, adjoining spaces, flooring direction, and the type of hardwood being installed.

The goal is to create a floor that looks intentional within its surroundings.

For some projects, traditional plank flooring provides exactly the right appearance. Other interiors may benefit from wider boards that showcase more of the natural grain and variation in the wood.

Custom projects can take the design even further.

Herringbone, parquet, decorative borders, medallions, and geometric patterns can turn hardwood into a defining architectural feature.

Each installation gives me an opportunity to combine the natural beauty of wood with the craftsmanship I have developed since 1976.

Wide Plank Hardwood Flooring Projects

Wide plank flooring can create a substantial and refined appearance while allowing the natural characteristics of the wood to become more visible.



Rather than seeing many narrow boards across the room, wider planks provide larger areas of uninterrupted grain and variation.

I work with wide plank hardwood for homeowners who want the flooring itself to have a strong but natural presence within the interior.

Materials such as European oak and white oak can work especially well for these projects.

The width of the boards is only one part of the design. The proportions of the room, direction of the installation, transitions into adjoining spaces, and relationship between the floor and other architectural elements all need to be considered.

My wide plank projects are planned around these details so the finished flooring feels balanced within the home.

Custom Parquet Flooring Projects

Parquet offers possibilities that go well beyond a conventional hardwood layout.



By arranging individual wood elements into a carefully planned pattern, the floor becomes part of the architectural design of the room.

I create custom parquet flooring for homeowners who want distinctive craftsmanship and a floor designed specifically for their space.

The scale of a parquet pattern matters.

A design needs to relate to the dimensions of the room, entrances, walls, and surrounding architectural features. Its placement can influence how the entire space is experienced.

I consider these relationships when planning custom parquet.

The objective is not simply to create a detailed floor. It is to create a pattern that looks appropriate for the room and remains connected to the character of the home.

Herringbone Hardwood Flooring Projects

Herringbone remains one of the most distinctive and timeless ways to introduce pattern into a hardwood floor.



Its repeating geometry creates visual movement while maintaining a structured appearance. This allows herringbone to work across a range of interiors, from traditional homes to updated and contemporary spaces.

I install custom herringbone flooring with careful attention to alignment, proportion, and placement.

The direction of the pattern can affect how the room feels and how the eye moves through the space. Entrances, fireplaces, adjoining rooms, and other focal points may influence how the layout should be established.

When properly planned, herringbone can become a defining feature without overwhelming the surrounding interior.

It is an example of how traditional hardwood craftsmanship can create a floor with lasting architectural character.

Borders, Medallions and Geometric Designs

Some hardwood flooring projects call for details that cannot be achieved through a standard plank or repeating pattern alone.



I create borders, medallions, and geometric hardwood designs for homeowners who want their floors to include more individual craftsmanship.

Borders can frame a room or help define a particular area within a larger interior. The dimensions and placement of the border need to work naturally with the surrounding flooring.

Medallions provide another opportunity for custom detail.

They can establish a focal point in an entrance, foyer, or another prominent part of the home. Their design and scale should relate to both the flooring and the architecture around them.

Geometric flooring can provide even greater design possibilities.

These projects depend on accurate planning, proportion, and careful craftsmanship. My focus is always on creating detail that enhances the room rather than adding complexity simply for its own sake.

Hardwood Floor Refinishing Projects

Not every hardwood flooring transformation begins with new wood.



Existing floors that have become scratched, dull, worn, or faded may still have many years of potential. When the condition of the flooring allows, refinishing can renew the appearance of the wood while keeping the original material in place.

I provide hardwood floor refinishing throughout my Connecticut service area.

Each floor needs to be considered individually.

Age, previous refinishing, repairs, everyday wear, and other factors can affect what is possible. I evaluate the existing hardwood before determining whether refinishing is an appropriate direction.

A successful refinishing project can reveal the natural beauty of a floor that had become hidden by years of use.

For homeowners who value the hardwood already in their property, preserving and renewing that material can be an important part of the project.

Historic Hardwood Floor Restoration Projects

Historic and older hardwood floors require a different perspective.



Original wood can contribute significantly to the character of a property. The species, dimensions, grain, pattern, and natural aging of the floor may represent qualities that are difficult to reproduce with new material.

I have experience with historic wood floor preservation and restoration.

Before assuming an older floor needs to be replaced, I consider what can reasonably be retained.

Some projects may primarily require refinishing. Others can involve damaged areas, previous alterations, missing flooring, or sections that require more extensive attention.

My experience with restoration, replacement, and new installation allows me to consider different approaches depending on the condition of the floor.

When original hardwood is worth preserving, my goal is to retain the qualities that give it character while improving the overall appearance of the flooring.

Hardwood Floor Replacement Projects

There are also projects where replacement is the appropriate direction.



A floor may have extensive deterioration or damage, or previous renovations may have left areas with missing or mismatched hardwood. Changes to the layout of a home can also create a need for new flooring.

When replacing hardwood, I consider how the new floor can improve the overall interior.

Replacement may create an opportunity to establish better continuity between rooms, introduce wider boards, choose a different hardwood, or incorporate a custom pattern.

White oak and European oak provide versatile options for new flooring, while herringbone, parquet, borders, medallions, and geometric designs can add architectural detail.

I evaluate the existing floor before replacement is selected so worthwhile hardwood is not removed unnecessarily.

From Traditional Hardwood to One of a Kind Floors

My project experience covers a broad range of hardwood flooring styles.



Some of the most successful floors are simple, timeless installations where the natural beauty of the wood provides the character. Others involve detailed patterns and custom elements that make the flooring a prominent feature of the interior.

I enjoy both types of work.

The important consideration is whether the flooring suits the home.

A wide plank white oak floor can be just as distinctive as an elaborate parquet design when the material and proportions are right for the space. Similarly, a carefully restored original floor can have qualities that a completely new installation could never duplicate.

My role is to understand those differences and apply the appropriate craftsmanship to each project.

Hardwood Flooring Projects Across Connecticut

I work with homeowners throughout Connecticut, including Woodbridge, Madison, Guilford, Orange, Branford, East Haven, New Haven, Greenwich, Westport, Darien, New Canaan, Stamford, and surrounding communities.



My hardwood flooring projects include luxury installation, refinishing, replacement, restoration, and custom design.

If you are considering a similar project for your home, the first step is determining what the property and existing flooring require.

From there, I can discuss materials, design possibilities, preservation, and the appropriate approach for creating the result you want.
