HARDWOOD FLOORING FAQs

  1. What’s the difference between solid and engineered hardwood?
    Solid is one piece of wood and can usually be refinished multiple times. Engineered has a real-wood veneer over a stable core and performs better in moisture-prone areas or over concrete.
  2. Which wood species is hardest / best for pets?
    Janka hardness ratings guide durability. Oak, maple, hickory, and many exotics are harder and more dent-resistant than softer woods like pine or cherry.
  3. How much does hardwood cost?
    Material ranges roughly $4–$15+ per sq ft. Installed costs are typically $8–$20+ per sq ft depending on species, grade, width, and finish.
  4. Can hardwood be installed in kitchens, bathrooms, or basements?
    Solid hardwood is best above grade and away from constant moisture. Engineered hardwood is more versatile and often suitable for kitchens and below-grade areas with proper moisture control.
  5. Prefinished or unfinished?
    Prefinished is ready to walk on sooner and has a durable factory finish. Unfinished allows custom staining and site finishing for a seamless look.
  6. How long does hardwood last?
    With proper care, solid hardwood can last 50–100+ years because it can be refinished. Engineered lasts decades depending on veneer thickness.
  7. Will hardwood scratch or dent easily?
    All wood can scratch or dent. Harder species, protective finishes (especially aluminum-oxide), felt pads, and rugs in high-traffic zones minimize issues.
  8. How do I maintain hardwood floors?
    Sweep or vacuum regularly, use a damp (not wet) mop with a wood-floor cleaner, and avoid excess water or steam mops. Re-coat or refinish as needed.
  9. Does hardwood increase home value?
    Yes. Real hardwood is highly desired by buyers and typically offers strong return on investment, especially in main living areas.
  10. Do I need to acclimate the wood?
    Yes. Boards should sit in the installation environment for several days so they adjust to temperature and humidity.
  11. What plank widths and finishes are popular?
    Wider planks (5–8+ inches) are currently popular. Matte or low-sheen finishes hide wear better than high-gloss.
  12. Can hardwood be installed over radiant heat or concrete?
    Engineered hardwood is often suitable; solid is more limited. Proper moisture testing and barriers are required.
  13. What grades of wood are available?
    Clear, select, #1 common, and character grades offer different levels of knots and color variation.
  14. How long does installation take?
    An average home often takes 3–7 days depending on size, subfloor prep, and finishing method.
  15. What warranties apply?
    Most products carry manufacturer wear and structural warranties. Installation is also warranted by us.
