How choosing works

From sample to finished floor

The brand matters less than the right floor for your house. Here is how we get you there.

Compare them side by side
Stop by the showroom at 705 East Gay Street and see the brands next to each other, with someone who can walk you through the differences.
See them in your home
A Boyle’s design representative brings samples to your house, checks the subfloor, and measures on a free in-home visit.
We install it
Our in-house-trained installers put the floor down, and a Boyle’s painter touches up the baseboards and trim afterward, so the room is done when we leave.

Before you pick a brand

Solid or engineered?

Every maker above sells both, and the right one depends on your house more than your taste. Solid suits an above-grade room over a wood subfloor in a home you plan to keep. Engineered handles basements, concrete slabs, and radiant heat.

Compare species, hardness, and finishes on our hardwood page, or see what refinishing your existing floor involves before you replace anything.
