DFW summers hit 100°F+ with 60–80% humidity, then drop to 30% indoors during dry winters. Solid wood expands and contracts noticeably — we always acclimate material 48–72 hours on-site and recommend whole-home humidifiers for installs over 1,000 sq ft.

North Texas sits on expansive clay that swells in rainy seasons and shrinks in droughts. Foundations shift slightly — we check subfloor levelness with a laser before any hardwood install and apply leveling compound where needed (often 1/8"–1/4" of correction in older homes).
