Services
If you've decided to lay new floorboards in your Adelaide home, you want the best people in the business helping you. Over the years, I've grown the business and I now have a great team of skilled tradespeople I work with. My family also work in the business, including our young daughter Ruby who loves helping out.
With over 20 years experience laying floors across Adelaide, we'll help you decide what works best for your home and your family's lifestyle. Have complete peace of mind that you are working with a professional to get a quality product. Get in touch to book in an appointment with Richard and the team.
Our skilled tradespeople provide personalised support you through every step of the project, with dedicated after sales service and support. Engineered timber floorboards have a thin layer of cosmetic timber over bonded layers of supporting timber. It's basically a thick veneer. They still display the characteristics of natural timber but can only be re-sanded and rejuvenated a couple of times, depending on the condition.
From restoring old timber floors in historical houses to creating contemporary floors to suit modern floors, we've watched trends change. We've continued to improve our skills and learned to work with new and exciting products. For us, the best part about this job is delivering friendly reliable service and a quality product.
During our 20 years supplying and installing timber floors across Adelaide, we've worked on a huge range of projects. We've compiled a list of the most commonly asked questions about timber flooring installation to help you make the right choice. Gums tend to be the hardest timbers, but wear also depends on the coating used.

We contacted “Distinctive Timber Floors” who came out pretty quickly to look at the job as it was only a small part of our timber floors we needed to be done after renovations.
Richard said that he could match it to be very close to what we currently have. It turned out totally different (see photo).
I questioned him and asked if we could try something different, as I thought it may have been the "Sanding Sealer" he applied that made the timber a lot lighter.
I was told by Richard that he had nearly 30 years’ experience in timber floors and he wouldn’t try something else or waste his

Apologies to the team at Distinctive Timber Floors for my delay in posting feedback on your professional services provided to me. I am a demanding customer and expect high service standards to be delivered when paying for a product & or service. Richard, Alex and the team delivered exceptional service.
I initially emailed Richard about my requirements for laying approximately 201 square metres of timber flooring in my soon to be expected finished new home. A prompt reply, followed by a number of telephone calls and a visit to discuss my requirements. I booked for the job to be undertaken in mid

Thank you Richard and your team.
Highly recommend them. Excellent quality Job , done very efficiently, within the very short timeframe available to do it. They accommodated very well to our requirements. They assisted us with removal and putting back the furnitures after the job, which other companies did not offer.

We are very happy with our new floor. After a very competitive quote Richard did a great job during installation. All our requests were met with out a problem (there were quite a few). His experience was very evident and I would highly recommend Richard to anyone.

We had a wonderful experience from our first meeting until the delight of viewing the finished job. Richard and Corey were a pleasure to deal with and contributed honest and constructive ideas .Having started my apprenticeship laying floors I have some idea of what I’m talking about.

It was a pleasure dealing with this team. Richard was so knowledgeable, reliable and helpful - and went out of his way to make the whole process easy. Most of all our floor looks fantastic. Highly recommend and will use again.

We would highly recommend Richard and his team, they were an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish! Richard was always prompt in his communication, they were really flexible with the timing of the job to meet our deadline to move in and they were the most competitively priced (of four quotes). Ashley did a brilliant job of sanding and restoring the Jarrah and Baltic Pine floorboards in our house to their former glory. They also did a full clean up before they left, which was much more thorough than any other contractor we’ve ever used. We would absolutely use their services again

Bought a most unique timber for the entire home. The timber company itself let me down from the purchase of the timbers to delivery.
After waiting three weeks for a quote from timber yard's foremost recommended floor layer, I called for another contact. They reluctantly put me onto Richard from Distinctive Flooring who came out the next day, gave me a firm quote that afternoon and started the project as soon as the timber had acclimatised to the property.
The man laying the timbers (Alex) was amazing with his particular attention to detail. Communication was regular and all timber yard's mistakes
