Solid vs. engineered hardwood
| Type | What it is | Refinishing & where it works |

| Engineered | Real-wood top layer over a plywood core | Refinishes 0–2 times; stable over concrete and in basements |

Hardwood flooring FAQ
How much does hardwood flooring cost to install?
About $6 to $18 per square foot installed nationally. Your exact price depends on the product, room, and prep — a free in-home estimate confirms it.
Does hardwood add resale value?
Generally yes. Real hardwood is one of the most requested features by home buyers and can be refinished to look new for decades.
Should I pick solid or engineered hardwood?
Solid for maximum refinishing life in above-grade rooms; engineered for basements, concrete slabs, and wider planks with better stability. Both are 100% real wood on top.
Can hardwood go in a kitchen?
Yes, with prompt spill cleanup — kitchens are common for hardwood. Full bathrooms are where wood is risky; waterproof vinyl or tile is the safer pick there.
