Oak, maple, cherry, walnut and hickory — installed by our own crews. Free in-home estimate.
Same plank either way — the pattern changes the labour, not the wood. We price both at your free measure.
Straight lay or herringbone — see the laying patterns for how each goes down.
A hardwood floor fails from the bottom up. Moisture in the slab, a soft subfloor, a skipped acoustic layer — they all surface as cupping, gaps, and squeaks a year later.

Warm and quiet underfoot. Solid plank re-stains as tastes change, so the floor outlasts the décor and the trends above it.
The home's spine takes the most traffic. Solid hardwood wears hard and refinishes — stair treads matched to the run for a seamless flow.
Cooking swings the humidity and spills happen. Engineered's stable core stays flat where solid might cup — seal the seams and it lasts.
Below grade and over concrete, moisture rises. Engineered's dimensionally-stable core won't cup — floated or glued over a moisture-tested slab.
