Common Questions About Engineered Hardwood Flooring
How long does hardwood floor installation take?
For most rooms, installing engineered flooring on a concrete slab takes about 1-3 days. Larger spaces or more complex designs may take longer, though pre-finished options can help speed up the process.
Do you offer financing options for hardwood flooring?
Yes, we offer flexible financing options for engineered wood floors. Contact us to learn about available plans and find the best option to fit your specific flooring needs.
How often should hardwood floors be refinished?
The top layer of engineered wood flooring typically needs refinishing every 7-10 years, depending on the level of foot traffic and regular maintenance. High-traffic areas might need refinishing sooner than less-used spaces.
When should I replace or repair my hardwood floors?
Consider replacing or repairing your engineered flooring if you notice deep scratches, warping, cupping, gaps, loose boards, or water damage. Unlike tile, there are no grout lines to trap dust, making maintenance simpler. Minor damage can often be repaired, but extensive issues may require a full replacement.
Why should I choose engineered wood flooring over a solid hardwood one?
Engineered hardwood provides better stability in humid conditions, offers more installation options, and tends to be more budget-friendly. It resists expansion and contraction better than solid hardwood and comes in a wide variety of wood species.
How do I maintain my new vinyl floors?
Vinyl is a breeze to maintain! Regular sweeping or vacuuming, an occasional damp mop with approved cleaner, and quickly addressing spills will keep your floors looking their best for years to come.
Can you match the repaired section to my existing floor?
The timeline depends on the extent of the damage. While emergency response happens within 24 hours, full restoration typically takes 3–7 days.
