Question 2

What's the best hardwood for homes in New Mexico?

Accepted Answer

For New Mexico 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 Carlsbad 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.

Question 4

Can I refinish my existing hardwood floors in Carlsbad?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If your hardwood floors have scratches, wear patterns, or water damage but the wood is structurally sound, professional refinishing costs $3–$5/sq ft and takes 2–3 days. Most solid hardwood floors can be refinished 4–6 times over their lifespan.
