Question 2

What's the best hardwood for homes in Alabama?

Accepted Answer

For Alabama homes, oak (red and white) is the most popular choice due to its durability and affordability. Hickory is excellent for high-traffic areas. If humidity is a concern, engineered hardwood is recommended over solid because it resists warping and cupping better in fluctuating moisture conditions.
