What's the difference between solid and engineered wood flooring?

Choosing between solid and engineered hardwood flooring is one of the biggest decisions you'll make.

  1. Solid wood flooring is milled from a single piece of wood and can usually be sanded and refinished multiple times. It's an excellent option for above-grade living spaces and homeowners planning to enjoy their floors for decades.
  2. Engineered wood flooring features a genuine hardwood surface over a layered core that provides added stability. It performs well in areas where humidity changes throughout the year and can often be installed in more locations than solid wood floors.

Both options provide authentic hardwood beauty. Our team will help you choose the right product for your home and installation needs.

Compare popular hardwood species

Each hardwood species has its own color, grain pattern, and level of durability.

  • Acacia offers bold grain and dramatic color variation.
  • Birch provides a smooth, understated appearance.
  • Hickory is one of the hardest domestic woods and features striking character.
  • Maple delivers a clean, consistent grain with a contemporary feel.
  • Oak is a classic favorite known for durability and versatility.
  • Pecan creates a rustic look with rich natural variation.
  • White oak offers subtle grain and pairs beautifully with today's neutral interiors.
  • Red oak features warm tones and traditional wood character.
  • Walnut showcases deep, rich color for an elegant appearance.

We'll help you compare species to find the perfect balance of style and performance.

Find the right hardwood flooring color

Light hardwood flooring helps spaces feel larger and brighter while emphasizing natural grain. Medium tones remain a timeless choice that complements almost any décor. Dark hardwood creates warmth, contrast, and a sophisticated appearance.


When choosing a color, consider your cabinetry, furniture, lighting, and long-term design plans. Our design team can help you narrow your options with confidence.

Choose a hardwood texture

Texture influences both the appearance and the everyday performance of your hardwood flooring.

  1. Smooth hardwood offers a clean, refined look that's always in style.
  2. Wire-brushed hardwood highlights the natural grain while helping disguise minor scratches and everyday wear.
  3. Hand-scraped hardwood creates an artisan-inspired floor full of character, making it a popular choice for farmhouse and rustic homes.

The right texture adds personality while matching your family's lifestyle.

Select the best hardwood finish

The finish affects both maintenance and appearance.

  1. Matte finishes reduce glare and help hide dust and small scratches.
  2. Satin finishes provide a soft sheen that's easy to maintain and works with nearly every decorating style.
  3. Semi-gloss finishes reflect more light and create a brighter, polished appearance.

We'll help you compare finishes so you can find the right combination of beauty and durability.

How to clean and maintain hardwood floors

Routine maintenance keeps hardwood flooring looking beautiful for years.


Sweep, dust mop, or vacuum regularly using a hardwood-safe attachment to remove dirt before it scratches the finish. Wipe up spills promptly and clean with manufacturer-approved hardwood floor cleaners instead of harsh chemicals or excessive water.


Use entry mats to reduce tracked-in dirt, place felt pads under furniture, and maintain consistent indoor humidity to help protect your investment.
