Your Brookhaven home deserves flooring that works as hard as you do. Hardwood floors can increase your property value by up to 15% while reducing time on the market when you’re ready to sell.
Beyond the financial benefits, you get floors that actually improve your family’s health. Unlike carpet that traps dust mites and allergens, hardwood creates a cleaner environment that’s easier to maintain. No more deep cleaning sessions or wondering what’s lurking beneath the surface.
The durability speaks for itself. When properly installed and maintained, quality hardwood floors last decades, not years. You’re making one investment that serves your family for generations, not replacing floors every few years like other materials.

Whether you need new installation, refinishing existing floors, or repairs, Hamptons Carpet One handles every aspect of hardwood flooring in Brookhaven. We work with solid hardwood, engineered wood, and specialty options designed for coastal environments.
Brookhaven’s mix of historic and newer homes presents unique challenges. Many older properties have concrete slab foundations requiring engineered wood or additional subfloor preparation. Our team handles these complexities seamlessly, ensuring proper installation regardless of your home’s construction.
For Brookhaven homeowners, we recommend moisture-resistant finishes and species that handle humidity changes well. Oak, maple, and engineered options perform exceptionally in Long Island’s climate. Our showroom in Southampton displays full-size samples, so you see exactly how each option looks in natural light before making decisions.
Engineered hardwood and moisture-resistant solid species like white oak work exceptionally well in Brookhaven’s coastal environment. The humidity changes and salt air require flooring that can expand and contract without warping or cupping.
Engineered wood offers superior stability because its layered construction resists moisture movement better than solid wood. For solid hardwood, white oak and maple handle humidity changes well while offering the classic look homeowners want.
The finish matters just as much as the wood species. Site-finished polyurethane provides excellent moisture protection, while oil-based finishes penetrate deeper for long-term durability in coastal conditions.
Hardwood flooring installation in Brookhaven typically ranges from $6-12 per square foot for materials and labor, with premium species and complex installations reaching $13-25 per square foot. The total project cost depends on your home’s size, wood selection, and any subfloor preparation needed.
Many Brookhaven homes built before 1970 have concrete slab foundations requiring additional prep work or engineered wood selection. This can add $2-4 per square foot but ensures proper installation that lasts decades.
Refinishing existing hardwood costs significantly less—typically $3-8 per square foot depending on the wood’s condition. Free estimates help you understand exact costs for your specific project without surprises.
Yes, but it requires the right approach. Many older Brookhaven homes have concrete slab foundations that need special consideration for hardwood installation. Engineered hardwood works best because it can be glued directly to properly prepared concrete.
Solid hardwood requires installing a plywood subfloor over the concrete first, which raises floor height but allows for traditional nail-down installation. This method costs more but gives you authentic solid wood performance.
Moisture testing is crucial before any concrete slab installation. We check moisture levels and install vapor barriers when needed to prevent future problems. Proper preparation now saves expensive repairs later.
Most Brookhaven hardwood installations take 2-5 days depending on square footage and complexity. A typical 1,000 square foot installation with minimal subfloor prep completes in 2-3 days, while larger homes or those requiring extensive preparation take longer.
The timeline includes acclimation time for the wood, which is crucial in Long Island’s humid environment. Wood needs 3-7 days to adjust to your home’s conditions before installation begins. This prevents warping and gaps later.
Refinishing existing floors typically takes 3-4 days including sanding, staining, and finish application. You’ll need to stay off the floors during this time, but the results are worth the temporary inconvenience.
Absolutely. Hardwood floor refinishing breathes new life into existing floors at a fraction of replacement cost. The process involves sanding away surface damage, applying new stain if desired, and protecting with fresh polyurethane finish.
Brookhaven’s older homes often have solid hardwood that’s perfect for refinishing. Even floors that look beyond repair can usually be restored to like-new condition through professional refinishing techniques.
The refinishing process takes 3-4 days and costs $3-8 per square foot depending on wood condition and finish selection. You get floors that look brand new while preserving the character and value of original hardwood.
Our Beautiful Guarantee means complete satisfaction or we make it right at no cost to you. If you’re not happy with any aspect of your hardwood flooring—materials, installation, or service—Hamptons Carpet One will correct the issue until you’re completely satisfied.
This guarantee covers everything from material defects to installation problems. If something isn’t right, we return to fix it properly without charging additional fees or making excuses.
The guarantee reflects our confidence in both our products and installation teams. After serving Brookhaven homeowners for over a decade, we’ve built our reputation on standing behind every project completely.
