Hear From Our Customers
Your floors become an asset, not just a surface. Well-maintained hardwood floors can last 40+ years and increase your home’s resale value by up to 15%. You get the immediate satisfaction of walking on real wood that feels solid underfoot and looks better with age.
Beyond the financial benefits, you’re investing in your family’s daily comfort. Hardwood creates a healthier environment by eliminating the dust mites, pet dander, and allergens that carpet traps. The natural warmth of wood makes every room feel more inviting.
When it’s time to sell, buyers notice quality floors immediately. Real estate agents consistently report that homes with hardwood floors sell faster and for higher prices than comparable homes with other flooring types.
We’ve been serving Brookhaven and Long Island homeowners for over a decade. We’re part of the Carpet One network but locally owned, which means you get the backing of a national brand with the personal service of neighbors who understand this area.
Our team knows the specific challenges Long Island homes face. From older homes with settling foundations to newer construction with concrete slabs, we’ve solved every flooring scenario Brookhaven can throw at us. We take time to explain your options clearly because educated customers make better decisions.
What sets us apart is simple: we do what we say we’ll do, when we say we’ll do it. Our 4-star rating from local customers reflects consistent quality work and honest communication throughout every project.
First, we assess your space and subfloor conditions. Every home is different, and what works in one situation might not work in another. We check for moisture issues, structural concerns, and any prep work needed before installation begins.
Next, we help you select the right product for your specific situation. Solid hardwood works great in most areas, but engineered hardwood might be better if you have a concrete slab foundation or areas prone to humidity changes. We explain the differences so you can make an informed choice.
Installation happens efficiently with minimal disruption to your daily routine. Our crews are experienced professionals who show up on time, work cleanly, and handle all the details from start to finish. We coordinate delivery, handle any furniture moving needed, and ensure proper cleanup when we’re done.

We handle every aspect of hardwood flooring from selection through final finishing. Our services include new installation of solid hardwood, engineered hardwood, and luxury vinyl that looks like wood. We also provide sanding, staining, and refinishing for existing floors that need refreshing.
For Brookhaven homeowners, we stock the most popular species and finishes that work well in Long Island’s climate. Oak, maple, and hickory remain popular choices, but we’re seeing increased demand for wider planks and the natural, matte finishes that are trending in 2025.
Our refinishing services can transform tired floors into showpieces. Whether you want to change the stain color, repair damage, or just restore the original beauty, our experienced technicians use professional-grade equipment and finishes that provide lasting results. Many customers are amazed at how different their existing floors can look with proper refinishing.
Hardwood flooring installation in Brookhaven typically ranges from $6 to $12 per square foot for materials and labor, with high-end woods reaching $13 to $25 per square foot. The total project cost depends on the size of your space, the type of wood you choose, and any prep work needed.
Solid hardwood generally costs more upfront but can be refinished multiple times over its lifetime. Engineered hardwood offers similar appearance at a lower price point and works better in basements or over concrete slabs. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Remember that hardwood flooring is an investment that typically returns 70% of its cost when you sell your home, making it one of the most cost-effective home improvements you can make.
Solid hardwood is exactly what it sounds like – planks cut from single pieces of wood that are 3/4 inch thick. It can be sanded and refinished many times throughout its life, potentially lasting 40+ years with proper care. Solid hardwood works best over wood subfloors and in areas with stable humidity levels.
Engineered hardwood has a real wood veneer over a plywood or composite core, making it more stable in varying humidity conditions. It can be installed over concrete slabs using glue-down or floating methods, making it ideal for basements or homes with radiant heating. Most engineered floors can be refinished 1-3 times depending on the thickness of the top layer.
Both options give you the authentic look and feel of real wood. Your choice depends on your subfloor type, budget, and long-term plans for the space.
Most hardwood flooring installations in Brookhaven take 1-3 days for a typical room, depending on the size and complexity of the project. A two-person crew can typically install 800-1,000 square feet per day once the space is prepped and materials are ready.
The timeline includes removal of existing flooring if needed, any subfloor prep work, installation of the new flooring, and final cleanup. More complex projects involving stairs, multiple rooms, or custom work may take longer. We always provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you informed if anything changes.
After installation, you’ll need to stay off the floors for 24 hours if we use adhesive, or you can walk on them immediately with nail-down installation. Any final finishing work like baseboards or transitions adds another day to the project.
In many cases, yes. If your existing hardwood floors have surface scratches, minor dents, or faded finish but the wood itself is structurally sound, refinishing can make them look brand new at a fraction of replacement cost. Refinishing typically costs $3-8 per square foot compared to $6-25 for new installation.
The process involves sanding away the old finish and any surface damage, then applying new stain (if you want to change the color) and protective topcoat. We can often complete refinishing projects in 2-3 days, including drying time. Modern dustless sanding systems minimize the mess and disruption to your home.
However, if your floors have deep gouges, extensive water damage, or have been refinished multiple times already, replacement might be the better option. We’ll assess your floors honestly and recommend the most cost-effective solution for your situation.
Oak remains the most popular choice for Brookhaven homes because it’s durable, readily available, and handles Long Island’s humidity changes well. Red oak offers a more prominent grain pattern, while white oak has a subtler look and slightly better moisture resistance. Both can be stained to achieve almost any color you want.
Maple is another excellent choice that’s harder than oak and takes stain beautifully for consistent color. Hickory offers unique character with natural color variation from light to dark brown, perfect if you want floors with personality. These domestic species are also more affordable than exotic imports.
For areas with higher moisture like finished basements, engineered versions of these species perform better than solid wood. We’ll recommend the best species based on your specific room conditions, lifestyle, and design preferences during your consultation.
Yes, we work with several financing partners to make quality hardwood flooring more accessible for Brookhaven homeowners. We offer various payment plans including 0% interest options for qualified buyers, allowing you to enjoy your new floors now while spreading the cost over time.
The application process is straightforward and can often be completed the same day as your estimate. We’ll explain all available options and help you choose the financing plan that works best for your budget. Many customers find that financing allows them to upgrade to higher-quality materials or cover additional rooms they might not have considered otherwise.
Since hardwood flooring increases your home’s value and provides decades of use, it’s an investment that pays for itself over time. We’ll provide all the documentation you need for tax purposes, as some home improvement expenses may be deductible.
