Question 2

What's the best hardwood for homes in Delaware?

Accepted Answer

For Delaware 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.

A typical hardwood flooring installation in Laurel takes 2–5 days depending on room size, subfloor condition, and whether it's nail-down, glue-down, or floating. Solid hardwood may require 3–7 days to allow for acclimation before installation.

Can I refinish my existing hardwood floors in Laurel?
