Coastal air carries high moisture, so hardwood needs 3 to 5 days to adjust to your home's environment before installation. Skipping this step causes the wood to expand or contract after it is nailed down, resulting in gaps or cupping. Proper acclimation also keeps your warranty valid and your floors flat.
If your floors have deep structural damage, have been sanded down too thin, or you want to upgrade to wider planks (7 to 10 inches), replacement is the better investment. If the wood is still thick and the damage is only surface-level, refinishing can cut costs by around 50%. We offer wholesale materials for replacement and free advice on which option adds more to your home's resale value.
White Oak and Hickory are the top choices because of their high density on the Janka hardness scale. We also recommend a wire-brushed texture finish, which naturally hides minor scratches and sand tracked in from the coast, keeping floors looking newer far longer than smooth, high-gloss options.
Yes, with the right product. Engineered hardwood is the smart choice for kitchens because its stable core resists spills and humidity that would damage solid wood. For bathrooms, we recommend limiting installation to powder rooms rather than full baths with showers to protect your long-term investment.
