Hardwood Flooring Options
Solid Hardwood
Traditional solid hardwood is milled from a single piece of wood, typically 3/4" thick. It can be sanded and refinished multiple times, making it an heirloom-quality investment.
- Can be refinished 5-7 times
- Timeless, authentic appearance
- Increases property value significantly
Engineered Hardwood
Engineered hardwood features a real hardwood veneer bonded to layers of plywood. This construction provides dimensional stability, making it suitable for installation over concrete and radiant heat.
- Can be installed on any level
- More stable in humidity changes
- Can still be refinished 1-3 times
Premium Laminate
High-quality laminate flooring features a photographic layer that convincingly replicates hardwood. Modern laminates are incredibly durable, scratch-resistant, and affordable.
- Highly scratch and dent resistant

Hardwood Installation FAQs
How long does hardwood installation take?
Most residential hardwood installations take 2-5 days depending on room size, complexity, and whether finishing is required. We'll provide a specific timeline during consultation.
Can hardwood be installed in kitchens and bathrooms?
While possible, we generally recommend engineered hardwood for high-moisture areas due to its superior moisture resistance. We'll assess your specific situation and recommend the best option.
What's the difference between site-finished and pre-finished hardwood?
Pre-finished arrives with factory-applied finish, allowing immediate use. Site-finished is installed raw, then sanded and finished on-site, offering more customization.
How do I choose the right hardwood species?
Consider durability (Janka hardness rating), appearance, and budget. Oak and maple are popular all-purpose choices. We'll guide you based on your traffic levels and style preferences.
