Hardwood flooring specialists in The Greater Grand Rapids Area
Hardwood is where Absolute Flooring and Design started, and it's still what we're best known for across The Greater Grand Rapids Area. We supply and install solid hardwood, engineered hardwood, and custom parquet from the major mills, and because we buy direct, you get real pricing instead of a big-box retail markup.
Our own crew handles every step - removal, subfloor leveling, installation, staining, and finishing - so there's one team and one warranty behind the whole job. If your existing floors just need new life instead of a full tear-out, take a look at our hardwood refinishing page.

Solid vs. engineered - how to choose
Both are real wood. The difference is how the board is built, and which one is right for you depends a lot on your subfloor and on West Michigan's swing between humid summers and dry winter heat.
- Solid hardwood - a 3/4" plank of 100% wood, nailed down, refinishable 5-7 times over its lifetime. Best on plywood subfloors, main and upper levels.
- Engineered hardwood - a real wood top layer on a stable plywood core that doesn't expand or contract with our humidity swings. Best over concrete, below grade, and with radiant heat.
- Wide planks (5"-7") - a modern look, available in both solid and engineered builds.
- Parquet patterns - chevron, herringbone, and custom inlays, available in solid or engineered.

Special Financing Available*
*Subject to credit approval. Minimum monthly payments required. See design consultant for details.
Learn moreWood species and stain colors
Red and white oak make up most of what we install - they're durable, take stain beautifully, and age gracefully in a busy household. Maple offers a cleaner, more uniform grain. Hickory is the hardest domestic species and holds up well to active families and dogs. Walnut brings a richer, darker tone for a more formal room.
Stain options range from natural blonde and whitewashed to grey, fumed, and dark espresso. We bring sample boards to your free estimate so you can see the actual stain on the actual wood in your actual light, not a printed swatch.

Installation, and refinishing when that's the better call
We install nail-down, glue-down, and floating hardwood depending on what your subfloor allows. Every job includes moisture testing, subfloor leveling, baseboard removal and reinstall, and full disposal of the old flooring - the same floor demolition and prep work we do ahead of any new floor. If your current hardwood is dull or scratched rather than damaged, our refinishing crew offers dustless sanding and water-based polyurethane finishes that cure in days, not weeks.

Hardwood Flooring - frequently asked questions
Most whole-home installs take 2 to 4 days. Refinishing an existing floor instead adds another 3 to 5 days for sanding, staining, and finishing.
Engineered hardwood works well in kitchens and below-grade basements - the plywood core stays stable through our seasonal humidity swings. We don't recommend solid hardwood in either spot.
A quality solid hardwood floor can last 80-100 years and be refinished 5-7 times along the way. Engineered hardwood typically runs 30-50 years with 1-2 refinishings possible.
We bring sample boards in your species and color so we can match within a shade or two. For a perfect blend, we can refinish your existing hardwood at the same time so the whole floor reads as one.
