What are common FAQ's from Tempe homeowners?
Yes! Engineered hardwood has a real wood veneer on top, so you get the natural beauty of hardwood with extra durability underneath.
Definitely. Engineered wood is perfect for concrete subfloors and basements—it’s designed to handle moisture and temperature shifts better than solid wood.
Arizona’s dry air can cause wood to shrink, but engineered hardwood is more stable. Just let it acclimate to your home before installation to prevent any issues.
Yes, especially over concrete. Underlayment helps block moisture, adds cushioning, and reduces noise—worth it for comfort and longevity.
It can be! Look for scratch-resistant finishes. And as with any flooring, clean up spills or pet messes quickly to keep it looking great.
You can, but only lightly and only once or twice depending on how thick the top wood layer is. Thicker veneers last longer and allow for more refinishing.
Expect to pay around $4–$10 per square foot, plus installation. Premium woods and wider planks can raise the price a bit, but it’s a solid investment.
With regular care and the right conditions, engineered hardwood can easily last 20 to 30 years—or more in some homes.
Good news: many engineered hardwoods today are low-VOC and CARB2-compliant, so they’re safe for indoor air quality. Always check the label to be sure.
If you want real wood and resale value, engineered hardwood is the winner. Laminate is more affordable, but you can’t refinish it like engineered.
