Hardwood flooring in Westerville, OH

Homes built before the 1970s near Uptown Westerville and the Otterbein area typically have a wood subfloor, which means solid hardwood is on the table. Newer construction toward Blendon Woods and Central College Road is usually built on a slab, where engineered hardwood is the better call - it's dimensionally stable and can be installed directly over concrete without the movement solid wood would show.

We measure and inspect the subfloor during your estimate, so you're never guessing which category your house falls into.

Ohio's humid summers and dry winter heat both push wood boards to expand and contract. We acclimate every board on site before installing and leave the right expansion gaps around the perimeter, so your Westerville floor stays flat and tight through every season - not just the one it was installed in.

Installed hardwood typically runs $8-14 per square foot in Westerville, depending on species, plank width, and whether we're working over an existing subfloor or starting fresh. Refinishing existing hardwood usually lands around $4-6 per square foot.

Every quote comes from measuring your home in person, and it's itemized - materials, tear-out, prep, and labor - so there's nothing added once the crew shows up. If a slab foundation rules out solid hardwood in your case, we'll walk you through [luxury vinyl plank](/luxury-vinyl-plank) as the closer alternative.

Our installers are Burke Flooring employees, not day labor - the crew that measures your Westerville home is the same crew that installs it. That continuity shows in flat seams, tight stair noses, and a floor that still looks right years later.

Every hardwood install and refinish carries our one-year installation guarantee, and 0% financing is available for up to 21 months if you'd rather spread out the cost. See what other Westerville homeowners say on [our reviews page](/reviews).
