Hardwood and the Sacramento climate

Wood responds to humidity, and Sacramento swings from very dry summer air to damp winter weather. That makes product choice important. Engineered hardwood is built in layers and tends to stay stable through those swings, while solid hardwood offers a classic feel that many homeowners prefer.

Older homes in Midtown, East Sacramento and Land Park often sit on raised foundations, which breathe differently than a slab. We take that into account when recommending a product and an installation method.

Solid versus engineered wood

Solid hardwood is a single piece of wood from top to bottom, installed by nailing or stapling over a wood subfloor. Engineered hardwood has a real wood surface bonded to stable layers beneath, and it can be glued, floated or nailed, which opens it up to more situations.

Both give you a genuine wood floor. We can walk you through the differences on our [solid hardwood page](/real-solid-hardwood-flooring) and [engineered hardwood page](/engineered-hardwood), then show you samples in person so the decision feels clear.

What hardwood costs

Installed hardwood typically runs around eight to fifteen dollars per square foot in the Sacramento area. Species, plank width, finish and the amount of prep work all move the number, as do stairs and transitions.

Your specialist measures the rooms and hands you a written quote the same day, with no obligation. If you are planning a larger project, ask about [financing](/financing), available subject to credit approval.

How the installation goes

After a free in-home estimate, we schedule your install. The crew moves furniture, removes the old flooring and checks the subfloor, flattening or repairing it where needed. Wood is brought into the home early so it can adjust before it goes down.

Planks are laid out for a good visual mix, fastened or glued according to the product, then trimmed with matching transitions and baseboard work.

The LR Flooring difference

Hardwood is a major investment, so we focus on listening. You will not get a hard sell, just straight answers about what suits your lifestyle, pets, kids and budget. We stand behind the work with the LR Flooring guarantee.

Our team is family-run and based in nearby Citrus Heights, which means quick scheduling and people who know Sacramento homes. Browse feedback on our [reviews page](/reviews) before you decide.

Caring for a wood floor

Sweep or vacuum with a soft-floor setting, wipe spills promptly and use felt pads under furniture. Keeping indoor humidity reasonably steady helps the boards stay tight through hot summers and cool winters.

If your household is tough on floors, a wood-look [luxury vinyl plank](/flooring-sacramento/luxury-vinyl-plank) can be a practical companion in kitchens and entries while real hardwood shows off in living rooms.
