About Solid Hardwood Flooring
Why Choose Solid Hardwood?
Solid hardwood flooring is the original and the gold standard — genuine one-piece wood planks milled from a single piece of timber, with unmatched character and a lifespan measured in generations, not years. LA Flooring installs solid hardwood throughout Central Florida, primarily on second floors and climate-controlled rooms where humidity is well managed. With proper installation and maintenance, solid hardwood can be refinished 7–10 times over its lifetime.
We partner directly with the industry's leading flooring brands — so you get better selection, better pricing, and a warranty-backed product every time.
Visit our Wildwood showroom to see these brands in person — or call us to discuss which is right for your home and budget.

Common Questions
Solid Hardwood Flooring FAQ
Can solid hardwood be installed in Florida?
Yes — with the right conditions. Solid hardwood performs best on second floors (not directly on concrete slabs), in rooms with consistent air conditioning, and in homes where indoor humidity is maintained between 35–55%. We provide a full subfloor and climate assessment before recommending solid hardwood for any Florida installation.
How many times can solid hardwood be refinished?
Standard ¾" solid hardwood can typically be sanded and refinished 7–10 times over its lifetime — roughly every 7–10 years with normal use. This is the primary advantage of solid over engineered hardwood. A properly maintained solid hardwood floor installed today can serve your grandchildren.
What is the best solid hardwood species for Florida homes?
White oak and red oak are our top recommendations for Florida homes — both are widely available, beautiful, and respond well to Florida's climate when proper installation protocols are followed. Harder species like hickory and maple offer better scratch resistance. Exotic imports (Brazilian cherry, tigerwood) are harder but may have longer humidity adjustment periods.
What is the difference between solid and engineered hardwood?
Solid hardwood is a single piece of wood milled to ¾" thickness. Engineered hardwood has a real wood veneer bonded to a layered core. Solid can be refinished more times; engineered is more stable in humid conditions. For most Central Florida homes, especially on slab foundations, we recommend engineered hardwood. For second-floor installations with good climate control, solid hardwood is an excellent choice.
