We also allow new wood to acclimate to your home before installation, which helps prevent gaps and buckling later on. Every board is installed with attention to detail, because how a floor is installed matters just as much as the material you choose.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does hardwood flooring last?

With proper care, solid hardwood flooring can last several decades and often a lifetime, since it can be sanded and refinished many times. Engineered hardwood typically lasts around 20 to 30 years, depending on the thickness of its top wood layer. Lifespan depends on the wood species, the quality of the installation, foot traffic, and how well the floor is maintained over the years.

Is vinyl plank flooring really waterproof?

Most modern vinyl plank flooring is 100% waterproof, especially SPC and rigid-core types, making it safe to use in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. However, prolonged standing water can still affect the subfloor underneath if not promptly cleaned up.

Can vinyl plank flooring be installed over existing floors?

Yes, vinyl plank flooring can often be installed over existing hard surfaces such as tile, concrete, or laminate, provided the surface is clean, level, and free of damage. Carpet typically needs to be removed before installation.

How long does hardwood floor installation take?

Most residential hardwood installations take a few days, though the exact timeline depends on the size of the area, the type of wood, and whether the floor needs sanding and finishing on site. Subfloor preparation, repairs, and the curing time for finishes can add to the schedule. Prefinished hardwood is usually faster to install than wood that is finished on site after installation.

How do I maintain and clean hardwood floors?

Regular sweeping or vacuuming removes grit that can scratch the surface, and occasional cleaning with a product made for hardwood keeps the finish looking its best. Wipe up spills promptly, avoid excess water, and use felt pads under furniture to prevent dents and scratches. Over time, refinishing can restore floors that have become worn or dull and extend their life for many more years.
