Hardwood

Our hardwood flooring options are crafted from selections of American, exotic, and imported hardwoods that are durable enough to last a lifetime.

Hardwood flooring has been a traditional flooring material for centuries because of its natural strength, hardness, and beauty. Hardwood is a great option for flooring in common areas, living spaces, and walkways because it is highly resistant to surface damage and is relatively easy to maintain.

Solid Wood: Solid hardwood planks are a time-honored tradition in the flooring industry. Authentic wood comprises the entire plank without artificial substitutions or additional layers. 100% genuine wood offers an uncompromised aesthetic that has been appreciated for centuries. If you want to give your home a personal touch, you will love the opportunity to choose a custom stain and finish. Many solid wood options can be sanded and refinished multiple times, providing you with even more options to choose your home’s look and style.

Engineered Wood: Engineered hardwood is a composite of layered materials that offer natural hardwood’s strength, durability, and beauty at a more affordable price. Because engineered hardwood is artificial, some features are designed to be superior to its natural counterpart! Engineered hardwood is manufactured by placing a layer of genuine wood on top of a core made from crossed layers of pressed plywood.

Since wood is a natural product, some species have a limited selection of colors or styles – so it may help to begin the search with a particular species in mind. Selecting a wood species is mainly based on two factors: the visual aesthetic and the type of room the flooring is installed in.

Visual: The characteristics of the wood will vary depending on the species, but breaking down the decision into simple binary options is a good start: Do I prefer dark or light shades? Do I want lots of character and details or a more uniform texture?

Durability: Each wood species is different, and the strength and durability of the wood is no exception. A harder wood species like oak or hickory may be more appropriate for a high-traffic walkway, but a less hard species like birch or cherry may better match the aesthetics of a bedroom. The top layer of solid hardwood and some thicker engineered hardwoods can be sanded down more than once to offer an opportunity to refinish/stain your floor.

  3. Durable: With proper care, hardwood flooring can last for years, if not decades.

While the prospect of laying hardwood may seem like a simple task, the other parts of the installation process like removing the old flooring, checking the subfloor for damage, or cutting the new hardwood flooring planks to size can be daunting without the proper knowledge and tools.

  2. Remove & dispose of old flooring.
  3. Check subfloor for damage, repair if necessary.
  4. Install new hardwood flooring, cutting each plank to size if necessary.
  5. Reinstall baseboards.

Hardwood flooring is easy to keep clean.

  • Dust Daily - Cleaning your floors should be a part of your daily maintenance routine. Consistent dusting will significantly reduce the chance of dirt and grime becoming lodged in your hardwood floors.
  • Vacuum or Mop Weekly - Like sweeping takes care of the dust, vacuuming and mopping will ensure that foreign particles don’t embed in your floor.
  • Wipe Spills Promptly - Properly treated hardwood floors will have a non-porous surface finish, so as long as liquids are wiped up quickly, there should be no problem with stain damage.

The cost of hardwood flooring varies depending on the type you choose. Engineered hardwood is usually less expensive than solid hardwood. You can also find discount prices if you shop at the right time of year. Some stores offer installation services, while others do not. Be sure to ask about this before you purchase your flooring.

The cost of refinishing hardwood flooring also varies, depending on the size of your home and the type of wood you choose. You can expect to pay anywhere from $.50 to $.75 per square foot for refinishing services.
