Hardwood flooring is the gold standard for timeless beauty, durability, and home value. At Rainbow Carpet & Flooring, we carry solid and engineered hardwood in dozens of species, stains, and textures — with expert installation by our own crew throughout Williamsport and all 27 surrounding communities.
Solid Hardwood
Classic oak, maple, hickory & more — milled from a single piece and refinishable for decades.
Solid hardwood typically runs $6–$14 per square foot installed; engineered hardwood $4–$10. Costs vary by species, grade, and installation complexity. We offer free in-home estimates.
Solid hardwood is milled from a single piece of wood and can be refinished multiple times over decades. Engineered hardwood has a real wood veneer over a stable plywood core, making it better suited for areas with humidity variation like basements or over radiant heat.
Most hardwood installations take 1–3 days depending on room size, subfloor condition, and acclimation requirements. Nail-down installations may require hardwood to acclimate for 3–7 days prior to installation.
Solid hardwood is not recommended for bathrooms or areas with standing water. Engineered hardwood is a better choice for kitchens due to its dimensional stability. We can advise the right product for each room.
Sweep or vacuum regularly, clean spills immediately, and use a wood-specific cleaner. Avoid excessive water and harsh chemicals. Well-maintained hardwood floors can last 50+ years and be refinished 3–5 times.
