Quality hardwood flooring in Lake Grove, NY

Hardwood flooring makes a distinctive statement in any room, with each unique plank aging gracefully and adding value to your home over time. Hardwood flooring is more than just a flooring solution. It's a work of art!

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

Solid hardwood

Solid hardwood is more traditional. This features planks that are made from a single, solid piece of wood. It is usually 3/4-inch thick with an added wear layer that can be refinished multiple times, which means solid hardwood can last for decades. However, solid hardwood cannot be installed in basements and is more sensitive to moisture. It is costlier up front, too.

Engineered hardwood

Engineered hardwood, on the other hand, is composed of several layers of hardwood atop a high-quality wood composite, such as plywood. Engineered hardwood costs less up front and can be installed anywhere. However, it is often only 1/2-inch to 3/8-inch thick and can typically only be refinished once before the entire floor will need to be replaced.

Wire-brushed

Wire brushing adds a textured look to both engineered and solid hardwood. To achieve this look, wire brushes glide across each plank, adding texture while smoothing out the wood.

Distressing intentionally adds a worn, antique look to hardwood. This look is often used for a more rustic or country aesthetic, although it's easily incorporated into modern styles too.

Our experts have the skills and the knowledge to get the job done right, and we'll ensure a beautiful installation that exceeds your expectations.

Step 1

Preparing for installation

When it comes to a successful and efficient hardwood installation, preparation is essential. You'll need to first remove all furniture from the room and empty any closets. You'll then need to address your old flooring. Contact us for more information on flooring removal and disposal.

Step 2

During and after installation

A member of your household who is at least 18 or older should be available to greet the installation crew and show them to the work area. For everyone's safety, keep children and pets away from the work area until the job is done. Feel free to ask your lead installer any questions you might have about the finished product. You may also be instructed to stay off of your flooring for a set amount of time to allow any stain or varnish to properly cure. If this is the case, our team will inform you.

Step 3

Care & maintenance

Once your hardwood flooring is installed, it's up to you to develop a regular care routine that will keep your hardwood looking and performing well for many years. Follow some simple preventative maintenance tips and learn how to properly clean your flooring.

Hardwood Care & Maintenance

Keep your hardwood floors looking beautiful and performing their best with simple, everyday care. From regular cleaning to handling spills, a few easy steps can help maintain their natural beauty, durability, and long-lasting performance.

Everyday care

Keep your hardwood floors clean by sweeping or vacuuming regularly. Use approved cleaners when needed and avoid excess moisture to protect the surface and finish.

Handle spills

Wipe spills immediately using a soft cloth, as hardwood is sensitive to moisture. For tougher messes, follow manufacturer guidelines to avoid damage or staining.

Deep clean

Schedule occasional deep cleaning to maintain shine and extend floor life. Professional cleaning helps preserve the finish and keeps your hardwood looking its best.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is hardwood flooring a bad idea if I have pets?

No, you can have hardwood floors in your pet-friendly home. However, you'll need to incorporate some preventative maintenance and be vigilant when spills occur, as hardwood flooring isn't water-resistant. And make sure you keep pets' nails trimmed, as hardwood is also susceptible to scratching. Fortunately, most scratches only end up affecting the surface layer of the hardwood and can be removed.

Can we install hardwood floors in our kitchen?

You can, but you'll need to be aware of the risks. Hardwood is susceptible to staining and moisture damage, so you'll need to be vigilant with stain and spill removal. If you are, there's no reason you can't enjoy hardwood flooring in your kitchen!

Should I choose solid or engineered hardwood?

It's entirely up to your needs, your budget, and your preferences! Read all about the differences between these two types of hardwood flooring above and see which might be better for your home.

Can I use a wet mop on my hardwood floors?

You can, but it's better to dry mop flooring since moisture can cause damage. If you do use a wet mop, dry your floors immediately.
