During your in-home design consultation, your Design Consultant measures your space, reviews hardwood options with you, and provides a firm, all-in estimate with no hidden fees.

- Solid Hardwood: 100% real wood; refinishable multiple times. Best for above-grade, climate-stable rooms.
- Engineered Hardwood: Real wood over a stable core; performs over concrete and in moisture-prone or below-grade spaces; many options compatible with radiant heat.
- Species & Looks: Oak, hickory, maple, walnut—smooth, hand-scraped, or wire-brushed textures in classic or modern finishes.
- Plank Widths & Lengths: Standard or wide-plank visuals to open up rooms; longer boards for a clean, premium look.
- Installation Options: Nail/staple for solid; glue-down or floating for engineered—after we check moisture, flatness, and transitions.
Professional Hardwood Installation — Fast, Clean, Guaranteed
Every 50 Floor installation is built around your convenience. We handle everything—from precise measurement and moisture/flatness checks to old-floor removal & haul-away, subfloor prep, professional installation, and full cleanup—so you don’t have to lift a finger.
Most prefinished hardwood projects finish in a single day (large layouts or many stairs may take longer). We confirm any required acclimation, then install with the right method: nail/staple for solid hardwood; glue-down or floating for engineered—always with clean transitions and tight trim.
With our Gold Star One-Year Installation Warranty and manufacturer product coverage, you can count on beautiful results that last.

Hardwood Flooring FAQs
Quick answers on flooring, installation, pricing/financing, warranties, and how our in-home consultation helps you decide.
Both engineered hardwood and solid hardwood are great options, but they perform differently depending on your home. During your in-home design consultation, your Design Consultant will help you compare them based on:
- Engineered hardwood — more stable in humidity, better for basements, concrete slabs, and wider plank looks.
- Solid hardwood — can be refinished more times, ideal for long-term value, and performs best in above-grade, climate-controlled rooms.
Seeing both options in your lighting makes it easier to decide which fits your home, lifestyle, and maintenance preferences.
