Whether you're updating a single room or renovating your entire home, our team will guide you through the selection process, explain the benefits of each hardwood option, and provide expert installation with attention to every detail. From timeless oak and maple to modern wide-plank designs, we're committed to delivering beautiful, durable floors that add lasting value to your home.
Solid vs. engineered, how to choose
Both are real wood. The difference is how the board is built, and which one you should pick depends on your subfloor and Ohio's swing between dry winter heat and humid summer air. Solid hardwood on a main-level plywood subfloor handles that swing fine; engineered hardwood is the safer call over the concrete slabs common in Central Ohio basements. Our engineered hardwood page has the full breakdown.
- Solid hardwood, 3/4" plank of 100% wood, nailed down, can be refinished 5-7 times over its lifetime. Best on plywood subfloors on main and upper levels.
- Engineered hardwood, real wood top layer on a stable plywood core. Doesn't expand or contract with humidity. Best over concrete, below grade, and with radiant heat.
- Wide planks (5"-7"), modern look, work in both solid and engineered constructions.
- Parquet patterns, chevron, herringbone, custom inlays, all available in solid or engineered.
Wood species and stain colors
Red and white oak are the most popular species we install, they're durable, take stain beautifully, and age gracefully. Maple offers a cleaner, more uniform grain. Hickory is the hardest domestic wood and great for active households. Walnut and cherry bring richer, darker tones for more formal rooms.
Stain options range from natural blonde and whitewashed to grey, fumed, and dark espresso. We bring sample boards to your home so you can see the actual stain on the actual wood in your actual light, not a print in a catalog.
Professional installation and refinishing
We install nail-down, glue-down, and floating hardwood depending on what your subfloor allows. Every job includes moisture testing, subfloor leveling, baseboard removal and reinstall, and full disposal of old flooring. For existing hardwood that just needs new life, our hardwood refinishing crew offers dustless sanding, custom staining, and water-based polyurethane finishes that cure in days, not weeks.

Hardwood Flooring - frequently asked questions
Most whole-home installs take 2 to 4 days. Refinishing existing hardwood adds another 3 to 5 days for sanding, staining, and finishing.
Engineered hardwood works beautifully in kitchens and below-grade basements, the plywood core stays stable when humidity shifts. We don't recommend solid hardwood in either location.
A quality solid hardwood floor can last 80-100 years and be refinished 5-7 times along the way. Engineered hardwood lasts 30-50 years and can typically be refinished 1-2 times.
We bring sample boards in your wood species and color so we can match within a shade or two. If you want a perfect blend, we can refinish your existing hardwood at the same time, see our hardwood stairs page too if the staircase needs to match as well.
