Choosing the right hardwood for your home could be overwhelming. That is why we’ve broken down the difference between solid hardwood and engineered hardwood. From there, we have our grains and finishes and installation process. If the hardwood has the key to your heart, we recommend you continue reading.
Solid Hardwood: This type of wood is typically heavier and thicker than most floorings. Its cut is about ¾” per plank. Solid hardwood also expands with the changing temperatures and humidity levels in your home. But do not worry, upon installation we leave expansion gaps between your floor and the wall.
Engineered Hardwood: This type of hardwood is made up of 3-5 layers of hardwood that has been cross-grained and bonded together. Engineered Hardwood is less affected by weather and humidity fluctuations.
Color/Width/Grain: The color and grain of your flooring are where your personality shines through. Likewise, each plank of flooring is unique and distinguished based on what part of the tree it is made from. Nothing screams character more than that.
Installation: At Duck & Son Inc., we not only have a variety of hardwood flooring for you to choose from, but we install it too! We want your new floors done right. That is why we staff experienced contractors who work effectively and efficiently.
Laminate flooring provides the look and feel of hardwood, tile, and slate flooring at a fraction of the cost. When you choose laminate, you are choosing a product that is not only more economical but is made of harvest wood making it more environmentally friendly.
Durability: We know that the beauty of real natural wood is timeless. But after a few years, your hardwood might be suffering a few cosmetic issues. For those who are busy, or have a lot going on in the house (kids and pets) laminate might be the best option to keep your floors looking nice and are low maintenance.
Your Budget: We have said it once, and we will say it again, but laminate flooring is the best choice for your pockets. You will save money on the materials AND the installation services. Achieve a high-end look that is cheaper and faster! Who would not love that?

Real stone flooring is the most durable and elegant style of floorings one can have. They match just about any style, décor, and can be a focal point of entryways, kitchens, and bathrooms. Did we mention that it is naturally made?
Durability – Stone flooring is the closest you will get to mother nature herself. Stone flooring has natural strength and can withstand traffic for decades.
Low Maintenance – Our stone floors are sealed to keep their natural beauty and remain resistant to grime. Other than your annual grout cleaning and mopping, your stone floors can maintain themselves.
Look & Feel – Being a natural flooring, stone comes and goes and is often varied and inconsistent. This brings uniqueness to your home and raises your home’s value.
Vinyl flooring is the most popular flooring choice for kitchens and bathrooms. They look great, feel great, and last forever. They add value and comfort to your home while providing a solid foundation.
Durability: Vinyl flooring is often referred to as “resilient flooring” because of its durability. They hold up to years of use and can undergo, heat, stains, and water damage without leaving a single mark. If your household is busy and you need floors that last, consider switching over to vinyl.
Design and Versatility: I am sure the last time you saw vinyl flooring it was the black and white checkerboard from the 80s.
