  • Walnut
  • Ash
  • Mahogany

Key Hardwood Flooring Characteristics to Consider

Choosing to install hardwood is only the beginning of the selection process. When you want a new hardwood floor, you'll need to consider the following factors:

  • Type of hardwood material
  • Engineered or solid
  • Finished or unfinished
  • Color and design
  • Grain pattern

Engineered Hardwood vs Solid Hardwood

Engineered hardwood and solid hardwood flooring differ in their composition. Engineered hardwood features a thin hardwood veneer bonded to a multi-ply core, while solid hardwood is made from a single piece of solid wood.

Engineered hardwood offers better moisture resistance, dimensional stability, and versatile installation options, making it suitable for moisture-prone areas. However, solid hardwood can be refinished multiple times, extending its lifespan significantly, and is often preferred by homebuyers for its potential to increase resale value.

The choice between the two depends on your preferences, as they're both great options.

How Much Does It Cost to Install Hardwood Floors?

The cost of installing hardwood floors is relatively affordable compared to the cost of purchasing high-quality materials. The total price will include subfloor preparation, removal of old flooring, and finishing services like staining or trim installation.

While providing an exact figure without project specifics is difficult, understanding these key factors can help you budget more accurately.

When Is Hardwood Flooring Replacement Necessary?

Hardwood flooring replacement becomes necessary when the floors show signs of significant structural damage, severe wear and tear, or extensive water damage that cannot be repaired through refinishing.

Visible indicators include:

  • Wide gaps between planks
  • Warping or cupping of boards
  • Sagging or buckling areas
  • Discoloration or stains that penetrate deep into the wood

If your hardwood floors are over 25-30 years old or have been refinished multiple times, replacement may be the better long-term solution.
