Here’s why homeowners love hardwood flooring

We don’t think there’s anyone who doesn’t love hardwood flooring. They add warmth and charm 

to a space and are versatile enough to work in any decor.

That versatility is essential here, in this NJ suburb of New York City. You'll see everything from mansions to urban-style lofts and cottages here.

Two versions


There's solid hardwood flooring, one thickness throughout. Check out Color Plank Natural White Oak by Somerset.

Engineered hardwood looks similar to solid, but the difference is in the construction. It's layered, making it stable and better able to handle water. An example is Woodmore Oak Golden by TecWood.

These are just two examples of wood flooring that you’ll find in our showroom.

Not all hardwood flooring is the same


Some species are harder than others. If you need extra durability, talk to one of our professionals. Our inventory carries some of the hardest, such as oak, hickory, and maple.

Other wood flooring benefits include:

  1. Real estate value-adding. You will see at least 70–80% of the initial cost reflected as an increase in your property values. If you plan to sell, know that potential buyers often pay 2.5% more for a home with wood floors. 
  2. Cost-effectiveness. This is because your solid or engineered wood floors in Nutley, NJ, will last decades. Usually, all it takes to bring them back to luster is refinishing. That translates to few, if any, replacement or repair costs. 
  3. Low maintenance. It doesn't take much, just regular dust mopping and once-a-week vacuuming. Clean and polish these floors a few times a year.

Use preventative strategies, such as placing welcome mats at entrances so people can wipe their feet.
