From 3/4" solid oak, maple, and many other hardwood species,
to the pre-finished engineered or floating hardwood floors, we
can help you choose the right hardwood floor for your decor, and
lifestyle.

The engineered and longstrip hardwood floors can be installed
on any level of the home, including in the basement if moisture
isn't present. They can also glued down, floated over, or nailed
down to most the subfloors. While the 3/4" solid hardwood
floors are generally recommended for above grade installation
only, and have to be nailed to the subfloor. Any of these floors
can be refinished if they become severely scratched, or dull from
normal wear and tear.
Choosing a hardwood floor can be confusing, so let our expert
staff help you decide which wood floor is right for your home.
