Real Hardwood Flooring for Your Home
At Best Flooring, solid hardwood is where we started back in 2003, and it's still what a lot of Greater Indianapolis homeowners call us for first. Every board is 100% real wood, available across a range of species, grains, and finishes built to hold up for decades rather than years. Whether you're remodeling an older home or flooring a brand-new build, we bring the same craftsmanship and the same no-pressure [free estimate](/free-estimate) to every job.

Solid Hardwood, Sourced Right
Solid hardwood has been one of Best Flooring's specialties since we opened our doors, and we sell and install every type, style, species, and brand worth having. Buying directly from manufacturers in volume keeps our pricing fair without cutting corners on what actually goes on your floor. We carry Lauzon, Appalachian Hardwood, Armstrong, Mirage, Aacer, Somerset, Vintage, Coswick, Sheoga, Mercier, Kahrs, Bruce, Owens, LM, Anderson, and custom-milled hardwood. If [engineered hardwood](/engineered-hardwood) fits your subfloor better - which is common in slab-built homes around the metro - we'll steer you there honestly instead of upselling solid where it doesn't belong, and we'll stain and finish unfinished solid wood to whatever color you have in mind.

Special Financing Available*
We partner with Hearth to offer flexible financing, including 0% options for qualified buyers. *Subject to credit approval. Minimum monthly payments required. Ask us for details.
Learn moreSolid Wood Flooring Installation
Our installers handle solid hardwood [installation](/hardwood-flooring) start to finish: nail-down or glue-down over plywood, concrete, or particleboard. Layout options range from classic straight, random, or diagonal patterns up through chevron and herringbone, plus custom basket weave, monticello, Haddon Hall, and inlaid medallions. Every job follows industry-standard practices, and custom requests are genuinely welcome - our crew likes a project that's a little different from the last one. Ask about [financing](/financing) if a larger custom job is more comfortable spread over a few payments.

Solid Wood Stairs
Solid wood [stairs](/hardwood-stairs) are a different kind of project - the staircase is usually the first thing anyone notices walking into a house, so there's not much room for a so-so result. Unlike carpeted stairs, where the budget is mostly material, a hardwood staircase runs about 90% labor, and it's fully custom work from the first measurement on. We build custom square nosings, floating stairs, open-style stairs, and solid site-finished treads, and we treat every staircase like it's going in our own house.

Real & Solid Hardwood Flooring - frequently asked questions
Installed properly, solid hardwood is built to last 50-100+ years, and it routinely adds resale value precisely because it's such a long-term investment in a home.
Not directly - solid hardwood needs to be nailed into a wood subfloor. Over a slab, we'll either build up a plywood subfloor first or point you toward [engineered hardwood](/engineered-hardwood), which is dimensionally stable and glue-down friendly.
Prefinished planks arrive sealed at the factory - faster to install, with a slight micro-bevel between boards. Site-finished boards get sanded and coated in your home for a perfectly flat, custom-color floor, though it takes a bit longer.
Solid wood moves with temperature and moisture swings, so we generally point radiant-heat projects toward [engineered hardwood](/engineered-hardwood) instead. If solid wood is non-negotiable for you, we'll spec narrower widths and rift-and-quartered cuts to keep movement to a minimum.
