Types of Hardwood Flooring

We carry both solid hardwood and engineered hardwood options, each with unique benefits depending on your space, lifestyle, and installation needs.

Solid Hardwood

Solid wood planks are typically ¾" thick and made from a single piece of wood. They’re known for their durability and ability to be refinished multiple times, making them a great long-term investment. Best installed in dry, above-grade areas like living rooms and bedrooms.

Engineered Hardwood

Made with multiple layers of wood bonded together, engineered hardwood is more moisture-resistant and can be installed in basements, kitchens, and other areas where solid wood may not be suitable. It’s available in a wide range of widths, styles, and finishes.

Popular Hardwood Species

We offer a variety of wood species to match your aesthetic and performance needs:

• Red Oak & White Oak – Classic grains and great durability
• Hickory – Strong, rustic, and full of character
• Maple – Smooth and subtle for a modern look
• Cherry – Rich red hues with a soft grain pattern
• White Ash – Light and airy with a distinct grain
• Pecan – Dense and durable with striking visuals
• Bamboo – A fast-growing, eco-friendly alternative

Hardwood Finishes: Pre-Finished vs. Unfinished

Choosing a finish is just as important as selecting the wood. We’ll help you choose the best finish based on your lifestyle, traffic levels, and design goals.

Pre-Finished Hardwood

• Factory-finished and ready to install

Unfinished Hardwood

• Sanded and finished on-site for a custom look
• More options for species and stain customization
• Better for matching existing floors
• Requires more labor and finishing time
