FAQ
How much does it cost to install 1000 square feet of engineered hardwood flooring?
For a 1,000-square-foot space, installation costs range from $12,000 to $22,000. This includes materials and labor, but final pricing depends on your chosen wood species, wear layer thickness, and subfloor conditions.
Which engineered hardwood type is the best for flooring?
Oak engineered hardwood is our most recommended option for Chicago homes due to its exceptional durability and moisture stability. Its proven performance in varying Midwest climate conditions and timeless appeal make it an excellent investment for most spaces.
What is better, oak or elm engineered hardwood?
Oak offers superior durability and traditional appeal but comes at a higher price point. Elm provides unique grain patterns and warm aesthetics at a more moderate cost. The choice often depends on your style preferences, room usage, and budget considerations.
Is engineered hardwood better than solid hardwood?
Engineered hardwood stands out in areas with fluctuating humidity, thanks to its stable construction. It’s also compatible with radiant heating, making it a practical choice for modern homes.
