Add natural elegance with hardwood flooring
Hardwood flooring has a way of making a home feel timeless, warm, and inviting. It brings natural beauty underfoot and adds real value to your living space. At Snyder's Carpet & Flooring, we specialize in helping homeowners find the perfect hardwood that suits their style, budget, and lifestyle. What sets us apart is our shop-at-home model. You do not have to drive to a showroom.
We bring samples directly to your home, where you can see exactly how your new floor will look in your own lighting and with your own décor.
From species and finishes to installation details, hardwood floors offer endless ways to customize your home. Let’s take a closer look at your options and why so many families trust us for their hardwood flooring projects.
Solid wood vs. engineered wood flooring: which is best for you?
One of the first decisions to make is whether you want solid wood or engineered wood flooring. Both have advantages, and the best choice often depends on your home’s needs.
Solid hardwood flooring is made from a single piece of wood. It can be sanded and refinished multiple times, which means it can last for decades. Solid wood flooring is durable and classic, and adds strong resale value. It does best in areas of the home above grade where humidity is stable, like living rooms, bedrooms, and dining rooms.
Engineered hardwood flooring is built with layers of wood pressed together and topped with a hardwood veneer. This construction makes it more stable in areas where moisture or temperature may fluctuate, like basements or rooms with lots of sunlight. Engineered wood flooring still gives you the authentic look of hardwood, but with more versatility in where it can be installed.
Both options provide beauty and durability. Choosing between them often comes down to your home’s layout and how much long-term refinishing flexibility you want.

Hardwood flooring species
Species make a big difference in how your hardwood floor looks and feels. Some are bold with grain and color, while others offer a more subtle backdrop.
- Oak: A popular classic. Oak has visible grain patterns and comes in both red and white varieties. It’s durable and works well in busy homes.
- Maple: Lighter in tone with a smooth, consistent grain. Maple adds a modern, clean look that pairs well with contemporary styles.
- Hickory: One of the hardest domestic woods. Hickory has dramatic color variations and grain, giving a rustic or farmhouse feel.
- Walnut: Dark, rich, and elegant. Walnut brings warmth and sophistication to any space.
- Exotic woods: Options like Brazilian cherry or tigerwood add striking colors and unique patterns if you’re looking for something less common.
Choosing the right species is about balancing your lifestyle with your design taste. For example, active families with pets might lean toward oak or hickory for durability, while homeowners who love dramatic visuals may prefer walnut or exotic species.
What are the benefits of hardwood floors?
Hardwood flooring is more than just a surface to walk on. It adds lasting value to your home in several ways.
- Timeless style: Trends come and go, but hardwood flooring never feels dated. It adapts to changing décor effortlessly.
- Durability: With proper care, hardwood floors can last for generations. Scratches and wear can often be sanded out and refinished.
- Healthier choice: Wood floors don’t trap dust, allergens, or pet dander the way carpet does, making it easier to keep your indoor air cleaner.
- Sustainability: Many hardwood options today come from responsibly managed forests. Choosing hardwood flooring can be an environmentally conscious decision.
- Resale value: Buyers recognize and appreciate hardwood floors. Homes with wood floors often sell faster and for higher prices.
Hardwood is not just a purchase. It’s an investment in both comfort and property value.
