Solid or engineered - it depends on your foundation

Older Canal Winchester homes with a wood subfloor and crawlspace or basement are good candidates for solid hardwood. Newer construction on a concrete slab - which describes most of Winchester Trails and Hanawalt Farms - does better with engineered hardwood, which glues or floats over concrete without the cupping risk solid wood carries on a slab.

Refinishing what's already in your floor

A surprising number of homes near downtown Canal Winchester have original oak under old carpet or vinyl. Our dustless sand-and-refinish repairs damaged boards, matches stain, and seals with a durable finish - typically for a fraction of what new hardwood would cost.

Protecting hardwood through Ohio winters

Road salt and ice-melt tracked in on boots are hard on any wood floor's finish. We recommend a quality finish and a boot tray at every entry, and we'll walk you through the maintenance that keeps a Canal Winchester hardwood floor looking new through its first few winters.

What hardwood costs in Canal Winchester

New hardwood installed typically runs $8-14 per square foot depending on species, width, and whether you choose solid or engineered; refinishing existing hardwood usually lands around $4-6 per square foot. Both come as one written number after a free in-home measure - no allowances, no surprises.

If your budget doesn't stretch to hardwood everywhere, [luxury vinyl plank](/luxury-vinyl-plank) gets you a close wood look at a lower cost in secondary rooms, and we'll help you figure out where each floor makes the most sense.

Our process, start to finish

Every project starts with a [free in-home estimate](/free-estimate): we measure each room, bring species and stain samples to your table, and leave a written quote before we go.

From there, one Burke Flooring crew handles tear-out, subfloor prep, acclimation, installation, and trim - or, for refinishing, sanding, repairs, staining, and sealing - with a final walkthrough where you inspect every board before we call it done.

Why Canal Winchester homeowners choose Burke Flooring

Our crew - Randy, April, RJ, and the rest of the team - are Burke Flooring employees, not day labor, so the person who measures your home is on the crew that installs or refinishes it.

Every hardwood job carries our one-year installation guarantee, and financing is available if you'd rather spread the cost - 0% for up to 21 months, or a longer low-payment option. See [financing](/financing) to compare.
