Transform your home with the timeless beauty and lasting value of real hardwood flooring. From classic oak to exotic walnut, our expert team delivers flawless installation with Bona Certified craftsmanship and transparent pricing.
Milled from a single piece of timber, solid hardwood is the classic choice that has graced homes for centuries. It can be sanded and refinished multiple times over a lifespan of 75 to 100 years, making it a true long-term investment. Solid hardwood performs best in above-grade living spaces with stable humidity levels.
Engineered hardwood features a real hardwood veneer bonded to a stable plywood core. This multi-layer construction resists expansion and contraction caused by humidity changes, making it suitable for basements, over radiant heat, and in areas where solid hardwood may not perform well. It offers the authentic look and feel of real wood with greater versatility.
For homeowners seeking a distinctive look, we offer installation of exotic and specialty wood species. Brazilian cherry (jatoba) delivers a rich, reddish-brown warmth. Walnut provides deep chocolate tones. Hickory offers dramatic grain variation and exceptional hardness. Each species brings its own character and performance profile to your home.
We visit your home to measure the space, assess existing subfloor conditions, discuss your design preferences and lifestyle needs, and provide a detailed, transparent estimate. We bring samples so you can see and feel your options in your own lighting.
Choose from a curated range of wood species, plank widths, and finishes. We guide you through the pros and cons of each option, considering factors like room usage, sunlight exposure, pets, and budget. Your floors should match both your style and your life.
Proper subfloor preparation is the foundation of a floor that looks and performs flawlessly for decades. We level, clean, and moisture-test the subfloor, addressing any issues before installation begins. This step is critical and never skipped.
Our experienced craftsmen install each plank with precision, maintaining proper expansion gaps, staggering joints for structural integrity and visual appeal, and ensuring tight, seamless fits throughout. We use the appropriate installation method for your wood type and subfloor: nail-down, glue-down, or floating.
If your hardwood is unfinished, we apply Bona Certified stain and polyurethane finishes on-site for a custom look. We install transitions, baseboards, and trim details to complete the polished, professional appearance of your new floors.
We walk through every room with you, inspecting the installation together and addressing any questions. We provide detailed care and maintenance instructions to help your new hardwood floors stay beautiful for a lifetime.
Hardwood floors can last 75 to 100 years or more with proper care. Unlike carpet or vinyl that needs replacing every 10 to 20 years, hardwood can be sanded and refinished multiple times, making it one of the most cost-effective flooring choices over the long term.
Hardwood flooring consistently ranks as one of the most desirable features among homebuyers. According to the National Association of Realtors, homes with hardwood floors sell faster and often command higher prices. It is an investment that pays for itself.
Hardwood never goes out of style. Its natural warmth, rich grain patterns, and organic character complement every design aesthetic from traditional to contemporary. And with dozens of species and stain options, you can achieve exactly the look you want.
Hardwood floors are surprisingly easy to maintain. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping with a hardwood-safe cleaner is all it takes. Unlike carpet, hardwood does not trap allergens, dust mites, or pet dander, making it a healthier choice for your family.
High-traffic areas like hallways and kitchens benefit from harder species like hickory or white oak. Bedrooms and formal dining rooms can accommodate softer, more decorative species. We help you match hardness to function so your floors wear beautifully.
If you have active pets or young children, we recommend harder species with more textured grain patterns that naturally conceal minor scratches. Wire-brushed or hand-scraped finishes are excellent choices for busy households because they add character while hiding everyday wear.
Direct sunlight can cause some wood species to darken or lighten over time. We help you choose species and finishes that respond well to your home's natural light conditions, or recommend UV-protective finishes for sun-drenched rooms.
Basements and below-grade spaces call for engineered hardwood, which handles moisture fluctuations better than solid wood. For areas near exterior doors or in humid climates, we recommend species and finishes specifically designed to resist moisture.
Wide planks create a modern, open feel and work beautifully in large rooms. Narrower planks offer a more traditional look and can make smaller spaces feel proportional. Longer planks reduce visible seams and create a more seamless appearance.
Domestic species like red oak and maple are typically the most affordable options. Exotic species and wider planks command a premium. We help you find the sweet spot between your aesthetic goals and your budget, with transparent pricing and no hidden costs.
Solid hardwood is milled from a single piece of wood and can be sanded and refinished many times over its lifespan. Engineered hardwood has a real hardwood veneer on top of multiple layers of plywood, making it more dimensionally stable and suitable for basements or areas with temperature and humidity fluctuations. Both are excellent choices; the best option depends on your home's specific conditions and your long-term goals.
Installation timelines vary by project size and complexity. A typical room takes 1 to 2 days. A full home installation usually takes 3 to 7 days, including subfloor preparation and finishing. If on-site sanding and finishing is required for unfinished wood, add 2 to 3 days for finish application and drying. We provide a detailed timeline during your free consultation.
Engineered hardwood can be successfully installed over concrete using a floating, glue-down, or click-lock method. Solid hardwood is generally not recommended for concrete subfloors due to moisture concerns, though it can sometimes be installed over a plywood subfloor system built on top of concrete. We assess your specific subfloor during consultation and recommend the best approach.
