Most manufacturers advise acclimating hardwood products in the installation area for at least 72 hours. Arrange the boxes to ensure equal airflow, typically stacking no more than four high and leaving a couple of inches of space around each side for proper acclimation.

The installation time varies based on the room size, type of hardwood, and any additional preparation needed. If you want a more accurate estimate, you can request a consultation with us where we can find the perfect hardwood floors, measure your home, and give you an accurate proposal.

The cost of hardwood flooring depends on the wood species, finish, and board width. Prices generally range from $3 to $15 per square foot for materials. Exotic or high-end options can be more expensive.

• Consider Your Lifestyle: Choose harder woods (like oak or maple) for high-traffic areas.
• Aesthetics: Pick a wood species and finish that match your home’s décor.
• Climate: Engineered hardwood is better for areas with high humidity.
• Budget: Determine how much you’re willing to spend, considering both the cost of materials and installation.

Installing hardwood floors requires precise measurements, proper subfloor preparation, and the right tools. While DIY installation is possible, it can be challenging and time-consuming. Professional installation ensures a high-quality, durable finish.

Engineered hardwood floors consist of a top layer of real hardwood veneer bonded to multiple layers of plywood or high-density fiberboard. This construction makes them more stable and resistant to changes in temperature and humidity compared to solid hardwood.

• Plank Flooring: Wider boards that give a rustic or contemporary look.
• Strip Flooring: Narrower boards that provide a more traditional appearance.
• Parquet Flooring: Small pieces of wood arranged in geometric patterns for a decorative effect.
• Distressed/Hand-scraped: Flooring that has been intentionally scraped or distressed to give it a weathered, vintage look.

• Solid Hardwood: Made from a single piece of wood, available in various species like oak, maple, and cherry.
• Engineered Hardwood: Consists of a top layer of real wood veneer over several layers of plywood or high-density fiberboard. It is more stable and resistant to moisture compared to solid hardwood.

Hardwood flooring, made from real wood, comes in solid (one piece) or engineered (layers) forms and is available in various species and patterns. Typically pre-finished with stain and a protective layer, it can also be finished onsite. Though refinishing is possible, it’s often replaced due to the process's expense and mess.

Featuring tongue-and-groove construction, hardwood floors are usually nailed or stapled to the subfloor, while engineered wood can also be glued. A moisture test is essential before installation to prevent warping. Hardwood floors have a natural, organic beauty that cannot be replicated in LVP or laminate flooring.

• Painting: Involves applying a layer of paint over the wood surface, which completely covers the natural grain and color of the wood. It provides a uniform color but doesn't highlight the wood's natural beauty.
• Staining: Involves applying a colored stain that penetrates the wood and enhances its natural grain. It adds color while allowing the wood's texture to show through.
• Refinishing: This process includes sanding down the existing finish of the hardwood floor to bare wood and then applying a new finish (stain, polyurethane, etc.). It can restore the floor’s original look or change its appearance.
