Switching to hardwood flooring isn’t a hard choice

Just one experience with hardwood flooring will likely leave any homeowner with a desire for the material in their own home.

With hardwood floors, you get the best of the best, with plenty of benefits to back it up. In addition to a lifespan that averages about 100 years, you’ll get incredible hard-wearing flooring that, with proper care and maintenance, will never again need to be replaced. It’s an investment that really pays off over the long term and can even offer a return should you decide to sell the home. Those seeking a new home know that hardwood floors are highly sought after and they’re always willing to pay extra for it.

When you choose a hardwood floor for your home, start by picking the perfect species, and then top it with a stain color you'll love. These colors make it easy to match the decor and can be changed during a refinishing process, so they're never permanent unless you want them to be. The finish type you choose can be as beneficial as it is gorgeous. For instance, a wire-brushed or hand-scraped finish can help hide scratches and scuffs, making every day wear a hidden consequence of your busy household.

When considering installation, we strongly advise that you allow a professional installation team to do this job. Special tools and years of experience make it a job that isn't well suited for DIY projects.
