New Bern homeowners can choose between two primary options: solid hardwood and engineered hardwood.
Crafted from a single piece of hardwood, solid hardwood flooring boasts exceptional durability and can be refinished multiple times. Typically installed over a plywood subfloor or wooden joists, solid hardwood offers enduring strength and timeless beauty.
Engineered hardwood flooring consists of multiple layers of wood with a hardwood veneer on top, providing enhanced stability and moisture resistance. Thanks to its water-resistant veneer, engineered hardwood won't get damaged, even in areas prone to high humidity like New Bern, NC.
Selecting the perfect hardwood flooring involves considering elements such as wood species, color, grain pattern, and finish.
Q: How should I care for my hardwood floors?
A: To maintain the beauty of your hardwood floors, regularly sweep or vacuum to remove debris, and use a damp mop with a mild cleaner for deeper cleaning. For comprehensive care tips, refer to our Hardwood Flooring Care Guide.
Q: How does humidity affect hardwood flooring?
A: North Carolina's high humidity levels can cause hardwood floors to expand and contract, potentially leading to gaps between planks or warping. Protect your floors from damage by maintaining indoor humidity levels between 40% and 60%.
Q: How can I prevent scratches on my hardwood floors?
A: Prevent scratches by using felt pads under furniture legs, placing area rugs in high-traffic zones, and avoiding abrasive footwear on hardwood floors. Regularly trim pet nails and refrain from dragging heavy objects across the floor.
Because solid hardwood is prone to humidity, it should be kept in dry, cool spaces of your home, like bedrooms, living rooms, or home offices. Solid hardwood flooring can also be refinished to extend its life cycle in your home. Engineered hardwood can be installed in all the same rooms as solid hardwood, and in many more. With our professional hardwood flooring installations, you can confidently enjoy engineered hardwood flooring in other rooms like finished basements, since it’s water-resistant and more durable.

"Carpet One has given us excellent sales advice and service. Heather’s design skills were invaluable when choosing tile for our master bathroom remodel and the hardwood flooring they installed and the refinished stairs look wonderful. Thanks to Heather, Mark and everyone at Carpet One." - Sue P.
"During my most recent experience with Carpet 1, I was extremely impressed with the professionalism that was displayed by Heather Puchalski who led the project and her team. Not only did she play a major role in helping me to determine the best solution for my damaged hardwood floor in the kitchen, but the expert team she provided to refinish the floor was equally professional. They took great pains to find as perfect a match as possible through the blending of various stains (a daunting task), and it came out beautifully. The execution planning, support, and follow-through from Mark Myers was equally superb. Heather is patient, engaging, and very knowledgeable, which makes tough decision-making easy. I will no doubt be using them when I undertake my guest bathroom renovation." - Phillip A.
