Nothing compares to the way wood warms up a room! It’s durable, beautiful, and classic, not to mention how long it lasts! Whether you are replacing flooring, or laying flooring in a new home, you can’t go wrong with hardwoods.

Now, which to choose? Do you go with an oak or a maple, or something a little more uncommon like an acadia. Do you go with solid wood, or engineered hardwood? Not to worry, your flooring expert can help you! Here is a list of things to consider when speaking with them.

What is your subflooring?

Is your subfloor concrete, particle board or plywood? This is helpful information to know when you go to pick out your hardwoods. The type of subfloor you have will determine the process and the type of hardwoods you will be able to lay.

What are your living habits?
