Why Hardwood Works in The Colony
The Colony's newer construction near the Dallas North Tollway corridor tends to favor open floor plans, where a continuous run of hardwood through the entry, living room, and dining area makes a home feel bigger and more finished than it would with a patchwork of different flooring.
In older sections of the city, original hardwood is often still salvageable, but many homeowners choose to replace worn floors outright rather than refinish, especially when they're also updating trim or opening up a wall.
Choosing the Right Hardwood Style
Solid hardwood offers the classic look and can be refinished multiple times over its life, but it's more sensitive to humidity - a real consideration this close to Lake Lewisville. Engineered hardwood uses a plywood core under a real hardwood veneer, giving it better dimensional stability in North Texas's humidity swings.
We carry a range of stains and plank widths from Mohawk, Mannington, and Engineered Floors, from traditional narrow strip to wide-plank looks that suit The Colony's newer open-concept homes.
What Affects the Cost of Your Hardwood Project
Hardwood pricing depends on several factors: solid versus engineered construction, the wood species and grade, plank width, the square footage involved, and whether we're removing existing flooring first. A straight room-to-room installation over a sound subfloor costs less than a job requiring leveling or extensive prep.
We don't quote hardwood over the phone, because those factors vary so much house to house. A [free in-home estimate](/free-estimate) lets us measure your space and give you an itemized number instead of a rough guess.
Our Hardwood Installation Process
We start with the in-home estimate: measuring your space, discussing plank style and direction, and confirming your material choice. Once ordered, we schedule the install, remove your old flooring, and check the subfloor for level and moisture issues before laying anything down.
Hardwood is then installed board by board - nailed, stapled, or glued down depending on the product and subfloor - with attention to expansion gaps along the walls. We finish with trim, transitions, and a full cleanup, and we walk the space with you before we call it done.
Caring for Hardwood in the North Texas Climate
North Texas humidity swings between a wet spring and a dry summer, and hardwood expands and contracts with it. Engineered hardwood handles this better than solid, which is one reason we recommend it for homes near the lake.
Either way, simple habits go a long way: sweep or vacuum regularly, use furniture pads, wipe up spills quickly, and avoid steam mops, which can force moisture into the seams over time.
