Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between solid and engineered hardwood?
Solid hardwood is milled from a single piece of wood and can be refinished many times. Engineered hardwood has a real wood veneer over a plywood core — it's more stable in humid environments and can be installed over concrete.
Can hardwood be installed over radiant heat?
Yes, engineered hardwood is the best choice for radiant heat floors. We'll help you select the right product for your specific setup.
How long does hardwood installation take?
A typical room takes 1–2 days. Larger projects or those requiring extensive subfloor prep may take longer.
How do I care for my hardwood floors?
Sweep or vacuum regularly, clean with a hardwood-safe cleaner, use felt pads on furniture, and avoid excess moisture.
