Hardwood flooring installation typically costs between $6–$15 per square foot, including materials and labor. The final price depends on wood type (solid vs engineered), finish, and room size. Flooring Essentials & More offers a free in-home estimate to give you an accurate quote for your space.
Solid hardwood is made from a single piece of wood and can be sanded and refinished multiple times, making it ideal for long-term use. Engineered hardwood has a wood veneer over layered plywood, offering better resistance to humidity and temperature changes a popular choice for Texas homes.
Hardwood flooring can last 25–100 years or more with proper care and periodic refinishing. Solid hardwood generally lasts longer since it can be refinished several times, while engineered hardwood typically lasts 20–30 years depending on wear layer thickness.
Hardwood is not usually recommended for bathrooms due to moisture exposure, but it can work well in kitchens if properly sealed and maintained. For high-moisture areas, engineered hardwood or waterproof vinyl is often a safer, longer-lasting alternative.
Hardwood flooring installation usually takes 1–3 days for an average-sized room, depending on square footage, subfloor condition, and finish type. Larger homes or custom finishes (like on-site staining) may extend the timeline slightly.
