Benefits of Hardwood Flooring
Timeless Beauty
Hardwood never goes out of style. It adds warmth, elegance, and character that improves with age.
Increases Home Value
Homes with hardwood flooring typically sell faster and at higher prices than homes with other flooring types.
Long Lifespan
With proper care, solid hardwood can last over 100 years and be refinished multiple times.
Better Air Quality
Hardwood does not trap dust, pollen, or allergens, making it ideal for allergy sufferers.
Solid vs. Engineered Hardwood
Solid hardwood is milled from a single piece of wood and offers the authentic look and feel that many Manchester homeowners prefer for above-grade rooms. It can be sanded and refinished many times over its lifetime. Engineered hardwood features a real wood veneer over a plywood core, offering greater dimensional stability in humid or temperature-variable environments. Engineered hardwood is an excellent choice for basements, over radiant heat, or in homes with significant seasonal humidity swings common in New Hampshire.

Hardwood Flooring FAQ
How long does hardwood installation take?
A typical room takes 2 to 3 days including acclimation, installation, and finishing. Larger projects or refinishing jobs may take 4 to 7 days depending on drying time between coats.
Can hardwood be installed over concrete?
Engineered hardwood can be installed over concrete using proper adhesive or floating methods. Solid hardwood is not recommended for direct concrete installation but works well over plywood subfloors.
How often should hardwood floors be refinished?
Most hardwood floors benefit from refinishing every 7 to 10 years depending on traffic, wear, and maintenance. High-traffic areas may need attention sooner.
