FAQs

    • What is the best flooring for my basement? Engineered wood or waterproof luxury vinyl plank (LVP) are generally recommended over solid hardwood due to moisture.

    • What is the difference between solid and engineered wood? Solid wood is one piece of wood throughout; engineered wood is a top layer of real wood over cross-layered plywood, making it more stable and less prone to moisture issues.

    • Do I need to acclimate my flooring? Yes, wood products generally require 48-72 hours to adjust to your home's temperature and humidity levels, with ideal conditions being 60-80°F.

  • How long will my project take? Timelines vary based on the room size and floor type, typically ranging from a few days for installation to additional time for prep work
