Hardwood Flooring Options
Hardwood brings warmth and natural beauty that other materials replicate but never quite match. We install both solid and engineered hardwood — and help you choose the right one for your space.
Solid Hardwood
ClassicTraditional planks milled from a single piece of wood. Available in oak, maple, walnut, and hickory. Solid hardwood can be sanded and refinished multiple times over its lifespan. Best suited for climate-controlled spaces.
- Sanded & refinishable
- Oak, maple, walnut, hickory
- Timeless aesthetic
- Best in dry, climate-controlled rooms
Engineered Hardwood
Recommended for FLMulti-layer construction with a real wood veneer over a plywood or HDF core. More dimensionally stable than solid hardwood — resists expansion and contraction caused by Orlando's humidity fluctuations.

- Same species & finishes as solid
- Glue-down or floating install
- Better for Florida's climate
Our Installation Process
Hardwood installation demands more steps than other flooring types. We follow every one.

Old Flooring Removal
Existing carpet, tile, or other flooring removed and disposed of. Clean slate for a proper install.
Subfloor Prep
Leveling, plywood underlayment, or moisture barrier installation based on conditions and product requirements.
Installation
Nail-down, glue-down, or floating method selected based on subfloor type and product for optimal performance.
Trim & Transitions
Baseboard, shoe molding, and transitions installed at doorways and between flooring types.
Final Inspection
Boards checked for fit, gaps, and finish consistency. Any issues corrected before we leave.
Cleanup
Space broom-cleaned and ready to furnish.
Hardwood Flooring FAQ
What Orlando homeowners ask before installing hardwood.
Is hardwood flooring a good choice for Orlando?
Engineered hardwood is the preferred choice for Orlando homes because its multi-layer construction resists the expansion and contraction caused by Florida's humidity. Solid hardwood works well in climate-controlled spaces with consistent indoor humidity levels.
How much does hardwood flooring cost in Orlando?
Hardwood flooring in Orlando typically costs $8–$16 per square foot installed, depending on wood species, plank width, and installation method. We provide a detailed estimate after measuring your space.
How long does hardwood installation take?
A standard room takes 2–3 days including acclimation setup, installation, and trim work. Full-home installations range from 5–10 days depending on square footage and complexity.
Can hardwood floors be installed over concrete in Orlando?
Engineered hardwood can be installed over concrete with a proper moisture barrier using the glue-down or floating method. Solid hardwood over concrete requires a plywood subfloor system. We assess your slab conditions and recommend the right approach.
