As a member of the Abbey buying group of 800 member stores, we have buying power and selection. Our lifetime residential installation warranty is second to none. Our staff is knowledgeable and experienced. We realize when people come to us it is to find a flooring solution from someone that they can trust. We will only sell products for specific areas where they will perform, and we won’t sell you a product that won’t be right for your application.

Our pricing is straight forward, without gimmicks, and is usually less than the competition’s sale or discounted price. We invite you to come in and visit our extensive carpet, tile, wood, cork, linoleum, and luxury vinyl showrooms.

"The initial consultation was fine, but after the work had begun it became a very stressful experience. During the consultation I understood the new floor boards at the end of my hallway would be installed the same direction as the existing floor boards (see pictures). When I showed up after installation had begun the new boards at the end of the hall were going the opposite direction of the existing boards. When I called Ron Doran about it he explained the floor joists in that part of the house were going the opposite direction and the floor boards have to lay across the joists. I asked him if there was anything we could do and he said no, I asked if we could add boards between the joists to add support so that at least the last 6 feet of the hall could be the same direction of existing floor and he said no, so I asked if I could sign a waiver and he said no and then gave me an ultimatum, if I continued to ask him to do this then he would walk away from the job. (Mind you this was all during two phone conversation in about an hours time). Throughout this conversation he was impatient and ultimately raised his voice at me and got extremely defensive. It was incredibly unprofessional. He never informed me that the floor would be installed this way and if he didn’t know initially when he found out he should have let me know (we were in daily communication via text or phone through the whole installation). Once the job was complete we waited a week before moving into our new house and I did call him 5 days after the job was done to ask if we could use pine sol on the floor and he replied promptly which I appreciated. But then once we moved in and examined the floors we found multiple issues; there was floor stain spilled down our basement steps, three rings of spilled stain on the basement floor, a piece of baseboard molding missing in one bedroom, uneven sanding/staining on floors, and several gouges and holes that weren’t properly filled in. Overall I am not 100% satisfied with the work and I’m certainly not satisfied with the interactions I had with Don Doran. I was nothing but polite and respectful to him and I even helped him unload the oak wood planks when he arrived by himself to drop them off (I have a flight of stairs getting into the house), so I saw no reason why he was so impatient and rude to me when I had questions and concerns. I will not be working with this company in the future."

The cost to refinish hardwood floors is $1,900 on average, ranging from $600 to $4,500, depending on the area size, the floor’s condition, the type of wood, the type of coating, and the refinishing method. Traditional refinishing includes sanding the floors, which can be very dusty and costs about $3 to $8 per square foot. Dustless refinishing uses a vacuum to collect dust during the sanding process, reducing the amount of dust produced, and costs about $5 to $8 per square foot.
The cost to install hardwood flooring is about $4,800 on average, ranging from about $1,000 to $12,000. Nationally, the average cost to install hardwood floors ranges from $6 to $12 per square foot for labor and materials. High-end woods and large spaces may cost $13 to $25 per square foot.
Additional cost factors include:
Square footage of the area
Type of wood
Preparation requirements
Type of finish
Location
Floor style and pattern
Plank thickness
Wood grade, color, and grain
It’s time to refinish your hardwood floors when they show signs of age that diminish their overall appearance and function. A few surefire signals that you should consider refinishing your hardwood floors include:
Gouges, scrapes, deep scratches, and dents over a significant area
Discoloration from stains or sun exposure
Water damage causing rotting, warping, or bowing
Weak, spongy, or soft spots in the floor indicating damaged subflooring
Dull and worn appearance across most of the floor
Despite the costly upfront expense, hardwood floors can add value and appeal to your home, making them one of the highest ROI home improvements. In terms of functionality, hardwood floors are very durable and can last several decades when properly maintained, making them well worth the investment. In some cases, installing hardwood floors can even alleviate allergies in household members, as it’s easier to keep this floor type free of dust mites, pet dander, pollen, and other pesky allergens.
Several kinds of wood can be used for wood flooring, not all being hardwood, ranging in price per square foot. You should choose the best type of wood for your flooring based on desired color, cost, durability, feel, and texture.
Check out the cost of common wood types per square foot:
Maple: $7–$11
Pine: $5–$10
Bamboo: $5–$11
White ash: $9–$13
Hickory: $6–$13
Red oak: $8–$13
White oak: $8–$15
Brazilian walnut: $11–$20
