Why Hardwood for Your North Carolina Home?

Imagine coming home from a scenic hike up Craggy Gardens, a paddleboarding adventure on the French Broad River, or an afternoon exploring the Biltmore Estate—your hardwood floors are there to welcome you with their warmth and charm. Hardwood flooring isn’t just a stunning addition to your home, though—it’s built for the Asheville lifestyle. Here’s why:

 

 

The Tale of Two Hardwoods - Solid vs. Engineered

Not all hardwood is designed the same. In Asheville, homeowners often debate between solid and engineered hardwood. Let's delve into the unique benefits of each—because in the end, they're both hardwood, and they both add significant value and timeless aesthetic to your home.

 

Engineered Hardwood: The Humidity Buster

Asheville's humid weather can pose challenges to hardwood floors. Engineered hardwood, made from layers of pressed hardwoods and resins, offers a solution—it's resistant to shrinkage or expansion when exposed to moisture or humidity. This makes it an excellent choice for basements and kitchens. Plus, it's more affordable and handles heavy foot-traffic exceptionally well.

 

Solid Hardwood: The Traditional Charmer

Solid hardwood is the traditional gold standard. It's a single, solid piece of wood known for its longevity, ability to be refinished multiple times, and unmatched capacity to add value and beauty to your home. Perfect for above-level spaces that don't see a lot of moisture, it can be installed in bedrooms, living rooms, and dining areas.

 

Custom Hardwood Styles & Finishes

Hardwood flooring is a design statement that reflects your style and the way you live. Whether you’re channeling the cozy charm of a Blue Ridge cabin, the artsy vibes of the River Arts District, or the timeless elegance of a Biltmore-inspired residence, Asheville Carpet One Floor & Home has the perfect hardwood style for you. Check out these custom options:

 

 

Popular Hardwood Flooring Species in Asheville

Various hardwood species lend themselves differently to your home.

 

From durability to color variations, the hardwood species you choose should fit your lifestyle just as much as your home’s style. Here's a list of favorites (and how they differ) from our fellow Asheville homeowners:

 

 

Choose Professional Hardwood Flooring Installation in Asheville, NC

 

Hardwood floors are a long-term investment in your home, and proper installation is key to keeping them beautiful and durable for years to come.

 

While DIY projects can be tempting, hardwood installation is not the place to cut corners. Hardwood needs to be expertly acclimated, laid with precision, and secured properly to prevent long-term damage. North Carolina’s fluctuating humidity levels can cause wood to expand and contract, leading to warping, cupping, or gaps if not installed correctly. That’s why professional flooring installation is essential.

 

At Asheville Carpet One Floor & Home, our team has the experience, tools, and know-how to get the job done right the first time.

 

From ensuring your hardwood is properly acclimated to performing moisture testing on your subfloor, we take every step necessary to protect your investment. Our installers are trained to secure hardwood using the best method for its type—whether it’s nail-down, glue-down, or floating installation—so your floors stay stable and stunning for years to come.

 

Plus, with The Beautiful Guarantee, you can rest easy knowing that if you’re not 100% satisfied with your new floors, we’ll replace them for free. When you choose professional hardwood installation with us, you’re not just getting expert craftsmanship—you’re getting peace of mind.

 

Maintaining the Longevity of Your Hardwood

Hardwood floors may be durable, but they still need a little TLC—especially when you’re living the Asheville lifestyle! Whether you’re trekking the trails at Craggy Gardens, splashing in the French Broad River, or enjoying a snowy winter day at Wolf Ridge Ski Resort, it’s easy to track dirt, mud, or even a little mountain slush into your home. The good news? With regular maintenance, your hardwood floors will stay just as stunning as the day they were installed.

 

Here are a few simple ways to keep them looking their best:

 

  1. Sweep or Dry Mop Regularly – A quick once-over with a broom or microfiber mop will pick up dust, dirt, and pet hair before they scratch your floors.
  2. Wipe Up Spills ASAP – Whether it’s a splash of coffee from your favorite local roastery or melting snow from your boots, moisture is hardwood’s worst enemy. Keep a soft cloth handy to dry up spills right away.
  3. Use Door Mats & Area Rugs – Place mats at entryways and consider a cozy area rug in high-traffic spaces to catch the dirt from your shoes before it gets to your floors.
  4. Keep Pet Paws Clean – Muddy trails can mean muddy paws! A quick wipe-down after a walk will help keep your floors paw-print free.
  5. Use Hardwood-Safe Cleaners – Skip the harsh chemicals and opt for warranty-approved hardwood cleaners to keep your floors looking fresh without damaging the finish.
