Real wood, installed right
Hardwood flooring in Indianapolis, IN
Indianapolis has some of the finest old hardwood bones in the Midwest, tucked under decades of carpet in Irvington bungalows and Meridian-Kessler center-hall homes alike, and it has just as many newer houses ready for their very first hardwood floor. Whichever situation describes your home, our crews have installed solid and engineered hardwood across this city since 2003.

Built for Indiana's humidity swings
Indianapolis summers push a lot of moisture into the air, and winters bring the opposite problem once the furnace kicks on and dries everything out. We acclimate every board on site before installation and take moisture readings on the subfloor first, so your new hardwood settles in flat instead of gapping in January or cupping in July.
Engineered hardwood for basements and slab homes
A lot of Indianapolis homes, especially the older ones near downtown and Meridian-Kessler, have finished basements where solid hardwood simply isn't an option. Newer construction further out is often built on a concrete slab. Engineered hardwood handles both - it glues or floats directly over concrete and stays stable through our seasonal swings, while still giving you a real hardwood wear layer on top.
What installation looks like
We measure in-home, quote once, and our own crew - never day labor - handles tear-out, subfloor prep, acclimation, installation, and trim. Most Indianapolis hardwood installs finish in two to four days, and we walk the floor with you before we call the job done.
What hardwood costs in Indianapolis
Engineered hardwood installed typically runs $8-14 per square foot in Indianapolis depending on species, plank width, and how much subfloor prep your home needs. Every quote is measured in your home, itemized, and final - tear-out, materials, and labor in one honest number.
If the number doesn't fit your timeline, ask about [financing through Hearth](/financing) - qualified buyers can spread the cost out, including a 0% option, so a great floor doesn't have to wait.
Our process, start to finish
It starts with a free in-home estimate: we measure every room, talk through species and finishes with real samples, and leave you a written quote on the spot. No pressure, no follow-up gauntlet - we treat customers like neighbors because to us, you are.
On install week, one crew handles tear-out, subfloor prep, acclimation, installation, and trim. We protect your walls and cabinets, haul away the old floor, and finish with a walkthrough so nothing gets called done until you've inspected it yourself.
