Many homeowners ask us the most important thing to know about hardwood flooring, but there is no cut-and-dry answer. The truth is the essential thing about hardwood is that it meets your specific requirements. That means the best hardwood for your neighbor might not be the best hardwood for you, and we're going to tell you more about why.

Hardwood flooring has been popular for decades-and no wonder! Hardwood is unparalleled in its ability to add warmth and luxury to any room. Manufactured directly from tree lumber, hardwood showcases all the beauty of nature. Unlike manmade products, no two pieces of hardwood will ever be identical, as each tree has its own individual grain pattern.

For those who appreciate the beauty of hardwood and stone but are concerned about maintenance or budget, laminate flooring can be the perfect compromise. With modern manufacturing methods, gone is the flooring of the past that looked as cheap as its price tag. Today's laminate is shockingly realistic, capturing the colors, scale, and surface texture of the real thing.

Tile has been used for generations and continues to make a statement today, with good reason. Tile combines a strong base that withstands heavy foot traffic and a wide variety of colors, patterns, cuts, and finishes to complement each unique bathroom, kitchen, and foyer. With the addition of advanced printing technologies, the possibility of colors and patterns are endless.
