Why Hardwood?

Just say no to rugs!

Carpet, unlike hardwood, can be a breeding ground for dirt, mold, pesticides, bacteria, dust mites and allergens. The carpet fibers can trap dust and other particles, re-releasing them into the air when walked on. These can cause respiratory health issues, especially to those who suffer from asthma.

Hardwood floors greatly reduce airborne allergens, and leave clean fresh air in your home.

Not only do they add style and beauty to your home, but they also add value. The addition of hardwood floors can bring back a higher return than the cost of purchasing and installing them.

Forget about replacing carpet. Hardwood can be refinished up to 3 times, and can even have the color changed with the application of a stain. As a natural product made of thousands of micro-fibers, hardwood also serves as great insulation.
