New hardwood floor installed in a Charlotte kitchen
Hardwood & engineered

Is it right for your home?

Best for

  • Living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms and open main floors
  • Homes you plan to keep: solid hardwood can be sanded and refinished for decades
  • Matching or extending existing oak floors (red or white oak)
  • Buyers who want real wood with a wide-plank, modern look (engineered)

Good to know

  • Wood reacts to humidity, so we meter wood and subfloor moisture before install
  • Solid hardwood is nailed down on wood subfloors; engineered can also float or glue over concrete
  • New wood needs time on site to acclimate before it goes down
  • Not the right choice for full bathrooms or laundry rooms. We will suggest LVP or tile there

Moisture & subfloor

What we check before the first board goes down.

Moisture meter reading on a hardwood board

Moisture readings

We meter the wood and the subfloor. Wood installed too wet or too dry will gap or cup later.

Stacked hardwood acclimating inside a home before installation

Acclimation

New wood rests inside your home before installation so it adjusts to your air.

Solid hardwood over concrete

On a slab we install a plywood subfloor first, then nail solid hardwood on top. This foyer later received solid Brazilian cherry.

Subfloor damage found during a flooring job

Hidden damage

If we uncover a damaged subfloor, we stop, show you, and get your approval before any added cost.

FAQ

Questions about hardwood & engineered.

Solid or engineered: which is better?

Solid hardwood can be sanded many times and is ideal over wood subfloors. Engineered is more stable in changing humidity, comes in wider planks and can go over concrete. We will recommend one after seeing your home.

Can you match my existing oak floors?

Usually yes. We match species and width, weave new boards into the old ones where needed, then sand and finish everything together so it reads as one floor.

How long does a hardwood installation take?

Most rooms take a few days; a full main floor usually about a week. Site-finished floors need extra time for stain and finish coats. Your proposal includes the schedule.

Do you remove the old flooring?

Yes. Carpet, glue-down and old floor removal can be included in your proposal, along with furniture moving.

What widths of red and white oak do you install?

We install solid red and white oak from 1-1/2" strip up to 10" wide plank. Narrow widths match older Charlotte homes; wide planks give a modern look. Wider boards are made to order, so we confirm lead time at your visit.

Do you install exotic hardwood and herringbone or chevron floors?

Yes. We install exotic species such as Brazilian cherry, Brazilian walnut (ipe), Brazilian teak and tigerwood, and lay herringbone, chevron and diagonal patterns on site. These are special order; we bring samples and confirm price and timing at your free estimate.

Do you offer financing?

Yes, on larger projects. Ask us at your free in-home estimate and we will walk you through the financing options available.

I had a great experience with HD Flooring. They completed both my flooring installation and staircase remodel, and I’m very pleased with how everything turned out. The staircase transformation made a big difference in the overall look of my home, and the flooring looks great as well. The crew was professional, respectful, and did quality work. There were a few scheduling and timing issues along the way, but the finished product was worth it. I appreciate the work HD Flooring put into the project and would recommend them to anyone looking for quality flooring or staircase remodeling.

Hugo and his team transformed my home. They replaced carpeted areas with new hardwoods, and refinished the old orange floors; you cannot tell which is which. It's seamless and perfect. (See third photo - the closest wood is 20+ years old, the family room is new wood. Amazing.) They also replaced the stairway railings, newel posts and spindles. It is beautiful - better than I could have imagined. He communicated with us well, they kept everything clean, his team was friendly and skilled. I cannot imagine a better experience. Highly recommend!!

Hugo and his team sanded and refinished with new stain 28+ year old hardwoods, also put new hardwoods replacing carpet in the family room to match. Replace old vinyl flooring in laundry room with LVP planks, so much better. Installation was very professional; they worked around our work schedule and kept us informed every step of the way. When floors were finished, we had a small concern Hugo came the same day and fixed it. Very satisfied with the whole project, look forward to our next project.

Hugo is great. From the first time I meet him. He is very professional. He resurfaced our hardwood and added two additional room with hardwood. It turned out great. You can’t tell what was old and what is new. He just came back today (months later) and did a repair that we screwed up. He came within a few days of calling him. I wish all contractors were this good. I definitely would recommend his services!

Hugo, was prompt and very accommodating with our decision making process. He arrives with a full sample showroom in his van. Makes it so easy to lay out the samples in your own home. Install was quick and quality work is A+
