Frequently Asked Questions
How much does hardwood flooring installation cost in Murfreesboro TN?
Pricing varies based on wood species, whether it is solid or engineered, square footage, and subfloor condition. Hardwood installation in Middle Tennessee often runs between $6 and $12 per square foot for materials and labor combined, but the best way to get an accurate number is a free in-home estimate.
What is the difference between solid hardwood and engineered hardwood?
Solid hardwood is milled from a single piece of wood and is typically 3/4″ thick. It is nailed down over a wood subfloor and can be sanded and refinished multiple times. Engineered hardwood has a real wood veneer bonded to a plywood core, making it more stable in humidity and suitable for concrete subfloors. Both options look like real wood; engineered simply performs better in certain conditions.
How long does hardwood flooring installation take?
Most hardwood flooring projects in a standard-size home take two to four days for installation, plus additional time if you choose site-finished stain and sealer, which requires drying between coats. Your contractor will give you a timeline estimate based on your specific square footage and product choice.

Refinishing existing hardwood floors
If your home already has solid hardwood — especially original 2 1/4-inch oak in pre-1970 Murfreesboro homes — sanding and refinishing is usually a better return than replacing the wood.
