What you can expect in hardwood flooring
We want to start by letting you know that solid hardwood flooring can never be installed in below-grade spaces. For areas like this, we recommend considering engineered flooring instead, as it’s an excellent, real wood alternative for the solid variety.
These floors must also be acclimated before installation to avoid warping, peeling, or cracking once the floors are in place.
Choosing a species is a very important part of this process, as the species often determines whether your flooring will live up to its expected lifespan. Often reaching 100 years or more, you’ll find that these are likely the last floors you’ll ever have to install, as long as you own your home.

Choosing a stain color is an exciting part of the hardwood process. Choosing prefinished materials limits your color selection somewhat, but also speeds up your installation time. Site finished materials offer more color choices, but a longer and messier installation. You’ll have to decide which you prefer, based on these bits of information.
As always, we recommend only a professional installation when it comes to these floors. Your investment will get great protection and you'll never pay for more flooring than is installed.
