Adding wood floors is a great way to bring warmth, dimension and beauty to your home. Over the past ten years, the variety of wood products has improved. Now there are many exotic wood species, engineered wood and finish options along with different plank widths to customize your look. We offer wood flooring lines for every budget and style. You can review samples and select from a full range of finishes, textures and widths at our Tampa Showroom or over a Zoom or Skype session with a design expert.

Things to Consider
Installation Type
Let us know if you're considering Nail Down where the floor is nailed directly into a wood subfloor, Glue Down to a properly treated concrete or wood subfloor, or Floating. Floating flooring comes two ways: You can either click and lock the planks together or glue together the planks at the tongue and groove. The finished product "floats" over the underlayment – similar to the way a dance floor works.
Price per Square Foot
We offer a wide range of price points -- something for every budget -- from $2.25 per square foot (USD) for oak plank to $4.50/sf for exotic species like Brazilian Cherry from Cala to $8.00/sf for premium flooring.
Stain Color & Finishing
Do you want a smooth, continuous grain like Maple and Oak or something that has more color variation or rustic characteristics like a Hickory and Cherry? Also, tell us about your stain preferences -- dark and rich, light and warm. We also offer several hand-scraped floors textured to provide an artisan, distressed wood floor look. Visit our Wood Flooring Photo Gallery to see some of the many styles we offer.
DIY Help
If you're thinking of installing it yourself, we have alot of great products that easily fit together and can "float". We can help you select the right underlayment and walk you through the entire process.
Types of Floors
We recommend engineered wood because of its affordability, ease of installation and durability. This product combines a hardwood top layer (or wear layer) with a plywood base to create an extremely stable product that is less prone to cupping and warping than solid wood -- making it great for humid climates. The planks come pre-finished, so they are beautiful and ready to install right out of the box.
Measuring
Wood is ordered by the square foot. If you’re measuring multiple spaces, divide them into rectangles (the hallway is one rectangle, main room is another). Measure each rectangle’s length and width and record the measurement in feet. Then multiply the length and the width to get the square feet of each rectangle. Just add the rectangles and you’re all set.
Finishing Touches
Every line we offer has matching thresholds and finishing pieces to create beautiful transitions throughout your home. Plus, we can supply base boards and shoe moulding. Many of our customers purchase pre-primed base mouldings – a great time-saving and money-saving option.
Just let us know if your space is new construction or if you are remodeling. We'll help you plan your entire floor project from choosing the proper underlayment/moisture barrier for your floor to selecting the mouldings and trim to make it complete. Details like door trim and crown mouldings can take a room from bland to beautiful
