Hardwood flooring specialists in Greater Indianapolis
Best Flooring has installed hardwood across Greater Indianapolis since 2003 - solid, [engineered](/engineered-hardwood), and custom parquet from Lauzon, Mirage, Mercier, Bruce, Kahrs, Coswick, Shaw, Armstrong, and more.
Buying direct from the mills means you get manufacturer pricing on the same floors the big-box stores mark up. Our crew handles the whole job in-house - removal, subfloor leveling, and installation - so you're not chasing down three different contractors.
Solid vs. engineered - how to choose
Both are genuine wood. What differs is how the board's built - and central Indiana's mix of housing stock makes that choice matter more than in a lot of markets. Older neighborhoods tend to sit over basements and plywood subfloors, while a lot of newer construction going up around the metro is built on a concrete slab. That one fact usually decides which product is right for you.
- [Solid hardwood](/real-solid-hardwood-flooring) - 3/4" plank of 100% wood, nailed down, built to hold up to decades of daily use. Best over plywood subfloors on main and upper levels.
- [Engineered hardwood](/engineered-hardwood) - a real wood face over a stable plywood core that won't fight our humid summers and dry winters the way solid wood can. Best over concrete, below grade, or with radiant heat.
- Wide planks (5"-7") - a modern look available in both solid and engineered construction.
- Parquet patterns - chevron, herringbone, custom inlays - available either way.

Learn moreWood species and stain colors
Red and white oak make up roughly 70% of what we install - durable, takes stain evenly, and ages well. Maple gives a cleaner, more uniform grain. Hickory is the hardest domestic species and holds up to an active household. Walnut and cherry bring a richer, darker tone for a more formal room.
Stain options run from natural blonde and whitewashed to grey, fumed, and dark espresso. We bring sample boards to your Greater Indianapolis home so you're seeing the actual stain on the actual wood under your own lighting - not a photo in a catalog.
Professional hardwood installation
We install nail-down, glue-down, and floating hardwood depending on what your subfloor allows. Every job includes moisture testing (especially important given how much our humidity swings through the seasons), subfloor leveling, baseboard removal and reinstall, and full disposal of the old flooring. If stairs are part of the project, our [hardwood stairs](/hardwood-stairs) page covers custom treads, risers, and nosings milled to match. Curious what it would run?

Hardwood Flooring - frequently asked questions
Most whole-home installs wrap up in 2 to 4 days depending on square footage and how much furniture needs to move. We'll give you a firm timeline before we start, not a range that keeps slipping.
Engineered hardwood works well in kitchens and below-grade basements - the plywood core stays stable as humidity shifts through the seasons. We don't recommend solid hardwood in either spot.
A quality solid hardwood floor routinely lasts 80-100 years with proper care. Engineered hardwood typically runs 30-50 years, depending on wear-layer thickness and how the room gets used.
We bring sample boards in your existing species and stain so we can match within a shade or two before anything's ordered. Tell us the room and we'll walk through options at your [free estimate](/free-estimate).
