The most enduring and preferred choice of flooring, hardwood flooring is both durable and beautiful, adding more value to a home than any other single expenditure you can make. Homes in Arizona are best suited for engineered hardwood flooring rather than solid wood, as solid wood tends to expand and contract and react to extreme lack of humidity more than engineered. For this reason you will see that 95% of the samples in our showroom are engineered hardwood. These are all pre-finished, meaning no sanding or toxic coats of finish take place in your home. The prefinished surfaces are also much more tough and long-lasting than conventional site-finishes, and typically come with a warranty of 25-50 years. These floors can be glued directly to concrete, floated, or nailed down to wood subfloors. They are more vulnerable to water, so we typically won’t recommend them in bathrooms and laundry rooms – but kitchens are fine. We focus mainly on North American and European hardwoods such as oak, hickory, maple, birch and walnut, which tend to do well in Arizona. There is really nothing quite like the beauty and elegance of real hardwood floors. We have been installing hardwood floors in Arizona for over 20 years – with fabulous results!
