Hardwood Flooring in Springfield, MO

Hardwood doesn't go out of style. It just gets a new finish.

Springfield Carpet One Floor & Home helps you pick hardwood that fits your house, your family and the Ozarks climate. Then we measure, quote and install it.

Why the Ozarks climate matters

Wood is a natural material. It takes on moisture in humid summers and gives it up in dry, heated winters. That's why a solid wood floor can show small gaps in January and tighten back up by July.

None of that is a defect. But it does change which hardwood you should buy.

Solid vs. engineered, in plain English

Solid hardwood is one piece of wood all the way through.

• Can be sanded and refinished many times.
• Best on main and upper floors, over a wood subfloor.
• Moves more with the seasons.

Engineered hardwood is a real wood top layer bonded to a stable core.

• Looks the same once it's down.
• Moves less with humidity.
• Can go over concrete and in lower levels where solid can't.

If your Springfield home has a slab foundation or a finished basement, engineered is usually the answer. Ask us.

Pick a look that hides real life

• Oak: Strong grain that hides scuffs. The most popular species for a reason.
• Hickory: Very hard, with bold color variation. Great for busy houses.
• Maple: Smooth and clean. Shows scratches more.
• Wide planks: Modern and calm. Fewer seams.
• Matte finish: Hides paw prints, dust and wear far better than gloss.

Remodeling the kitchen too?

We also help with kitchen and bath design and cabinets. Pick the hardwood and the cabinet finish side by side, so the tones work together instead of fighting. See kitchen and bath design.
