You walk into your neighbor’s house and stop short. Those floors—they’re stunning. Not just pretty, but the kind of floors that make people notice the moment they step inside.
That’s what happens when hardwood flooring is done right. Your home transforms from nice to memorable. Friends comment every time they visit. Your daily life gets easier because hardwood actually requires less maintenance than carpet—no more worrying about juice stains or deep cleaning.
The real benefit hits when it’s time to sell. Quality hardwood flooring can deliver up to 70% return on investment, making it one of the smartest upgrades you can make. But more importantly, you get to enjoy beautiful, durable floors every single day for decades.

After installation, we walk through the project with you to ensure everything meets your expectations. Your Beautiful Guarantee coverage begins immediately.

We offer solid hardwood, engineered hardwood, and refinishing services for Huntington homes. Solid hardwood works beautifully in most Long Island homes, offering the authentic look and feel that can be refinished multiple times over decades.
Engineered hardwood provides excellent stability for areas with temperature fluctuations, like finished basements or rooms with large windows facing the water. Both options come in dozens of species—from classic oak and maple to exotic woods like Brazilian cherry.
Huntington homeowners often choose wider planks for that modern, upscale look, while traditional 3-inch strips work perfectly in colonial and ranch-style homes. We help you select stain colors that complement your existing trim and furniture, ensuring your new floors enhance your home’s overall design rather than competing with it.
Hardwood flooring installation in Huntington typically ranges from $6 to $25 per square foot, including materials and labor. The final cost depends on several factors: the wood species you choose, your room size, and any subfloor preparation needed.
Domestic woods like oak and maple generally cost $6-12 per square foot installed, while exotic species or wide-plank options can reach $13-25 per square foot. A typical 300 square foot room usually runs $1,800 to $4,200 for quality installation.
We provide detailed, transparent estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying for. The investment pays off—quality hardwood flooring can return up to 70% of its cost when you sell your home, while giving you decades of beauty and easy maintenance.
Solid hardwood consists of planks milled from single pieces of wood, typically 3/4 inch thick. It can be sanded and refinished multiple times over its lifetime, making it incredibly durable. Solid hardwood works well in most Huntington homes and offers authentic wood character throughout.
Engineered hardwood features a real wood top layer bonded to plywood layers underneath. It’s more stable in areas with humidity changes and can often be installed in basements or over concrete. While it can be refinished fewer times than solid wood, quality engineered flooring still lasts decades.
For most Huntington homes, either option works well. The choice often comes down to your specific room conditions, budget, and long-term plans. Our experts evaluate your space and recommend the best option for your situation.
Most hardwood flooring installations in Huntington take 2-4 days, depending on your project size and complexity. A typical single room usually takes 1-2 days, while whole-house installations might take a week.
The timeline includes subfloor preparation, which is crucial for long-lasting results. If your subfloor needs significant repairs or leveling, add an extra day or two. The wood also needs to acclimate to your home’s temperature and humidity for 24-48 hours before installation begins.
We provide a clear timeline during your estimate and keep you updated throughout the process. Our installation crew works efficiently while maintaining high quality standards, protecting your belongings and cleaning up daily so your home stays livable during the project.
Sometimes, but it depends on what you currently have and the condition of your subfloor. Hardwood can often be installed over existing hardwood that’s in good condition, and sometimes over certain types of vinyl or linoleum if they’re well-adhered and level.
However, carpet, tile, and damaged flooring typically need to be removed first. This ensures proper installation and prevents future problems like squeaking, uneven surfaces, or premature wear. Removing old flooring also allows our installer to check your subfloor condition and make any necessary repairs.
Our experts evaluate your existing floors during the free consultation and recommend the best approach. While removing old flooring adds to the project cost, it’s usually worth it for the superior long-term results and warranty protection.
Oak remains the most popular choice for Huntington homes because it’s durable, takes stain beautifully, and complements both traditional and modern design styles. Red oak offers prominent grain patterns, while white oak provides a more subtle, contemporary look.
Maple works excellently for families with active lifestyles—it’s extremely hard and resists dents and scratches better than most species. Cherry develops a rich patina over time and works beautifully in formal spaces, though it’s softer than oak or maple.
For coastal Long Island conditions, avoid woods that are particularly sensitive to humidity changes. We stock species that perform well in our climate and can recommend the best options based on your home’s specific conditions, your lifestyle, and your design preferences.
Quality hardwood floors are surprisingly easy to maintain. Daily care involves sweeping or vacuuming to remove dirt and debris that can scratch the surface. Use a microfiber mop with hardwood floor cleaner for weekly cleaning—avoid water-soaking the floors.
Place mats at entrances to reduce tracked-in dirt, use furniture pads to prevent scratches, and maintain consistent humidity levels between 30-50% to prevent excessive expansion or contraction. Trim pet nails regularly and clean up spills immediately.
Most hardwood floors need refinishing every 7-10 years depending on traffic and care. We provide detailed maintenance instructions with your installation and offer refinishing services when the time comes. Proper care ensures your floors stay beautiful for decades while protecting your investment.
