The cost of installing 1,000 sq. ft. of hardwood flooring in Rhode Island typically ranges from $7,000 to $15,000, depending on the product type, wood species, and site conditions. Solid hardwood is generally higher than engineered options, but both add lasting value and style to your home.

Traditional hardwood flooring is not fully waterproof, but engineered hardwood provides better moisture resistance, making it suitable for kitchens, basements, and coastal Rhode Island homes. Spills should be wiped promptly, and area rugs can protect high-traffic zones to maintain the floor’s beauty and longevity.

With proper maintenance, hardwood floors can last 50+ years. Solid hardwood can be sanded and refinished multiple times, while engineered hardwood offers excellent stability for decades. Routine cleaning and occasional refinishing help preserve the floor’s appearance and durability for generations.

Oak and maple hardwood flooring are popular choices in Rhode Island for their strength, durability, and timeless appearance. Oak offers traditional grain patterns, while maple provides a smooth, clean look. Engineered hardwood versions of these species are ideal for moisture-prone areas while maintaining natural wood beauty.
