Hardwood Flooring Questions

What types of hardwood flooring do you offer?

We offer both solid hardwood and engineered hardwood in a wide range of wood species, colors, finishes, and plank sizes. Whether you prefer the timeless look of oak or the modern appeal of wide-plank hickory, we’ll help you find the perfect fit for your home.

What’s the difference between solid and engineered hardwood?
  • Solid hardwood is made from a single piece of wood and can be sanded and refinished multiple times.

  • Engineered hardwood has a real wood top layer bonded to layers of plywood, making it more dimensionally stable and resistant to humidity—great for basements or over concrete.

Is hardwood flooring durable?

Yes—hardwood is incredibly durable and long-lasting. With proper care, it can last decades. That said, it can scratch or dent under heavy impact, so using area rugs and felt pads under furniture is recommended.

Can I install hardwood flooring in kitchens or bathrooms?

It’s best to avoid hardwood in areas with frequent moisture like bathrooms. However, engineered hardwood can be a good option for kitchens or lower-level areas, especially when properly sealed and maintained.

How do I maintain and clean hardwood floors?

Sweep or vacuum regularly using a soft-bristle attachment, and clean with a damp (not wet) mop and a hardwood-safe cleaner. Avoid steam mops, standing water, and harsh chemicals.

Can hardwood floors be refinished?

Yes! Solid hardwood can typically be refinished multiple times, and engineered hardwood can often be refinished once or twice, depending on the thickness of the wear layer. Refinishing brings new life to your floors and extends their lifespan.

How long does hardwood flooring last?

When properly maintained, hardwood flooring can last 50–100 years—it’s truly a lifetime investment. Engineered hardwood generally lasts 20–40 years, depending on the product and conditions.

Is hardwood flooring a good choice for homes with pets?

Hardwood can work well in pet homes with proper precautions. Choose harder species (like oak or maple), keep nails trimmed, and clean up any accidents promptly. You can also consider scratch-resistant finishes for added durability.

Does hardwood add value to my home?

Yes—hardwood flooring is one of the most desirable features for homebuyers and can significantly increase your home’s resale value and appeal.
