Hardwood Flooring in Ann Arbor, MI

Ann Arbor doesn't have one housing type — it has several, often on the same block. Walk through the Old West Side or Burns Park and you'll find turn-of-the-century bungalows and craftsman homes with narrow-plank oak or maple hardwood laid directly over the original subfloor, much of it still salvageable with the right refinishing approach. Move toward the newer construction further from downtown and you'll find open-concept homes built for wide-plank engineered hardwood over plywood subfloor, chosen for its stability and easier installation over radiant heat or slightly uneven framing.

We bring both conversations to your kitchen table. Our mobile showroom carries solid hardwood in classic oak, maple, and hickory alongside engineered options in wider, more contemporary profiles, so whether your goal is matching 90-year-old flooring or starting fresh in a new build, you're comparing real planks under your own lighting before anything gets ordered.

Installed hardwood in the Ann Arbor area typically runs $8 to $15 per square foot, depending on species, plank width, and whether you're choosing solid or engineered construction. Standard oak in a straightforward room lands toward the lower end of that range; wider-plank or premium species like hickory or walnut, and rooms with more cuts or transitions, push toward the higher end.

Because we sell manufacturer-direct through Shaw and Bruce with no retail showroom overhead, our installed pricing is typically below what you'd pay for the same product line at a big-box retailer. Refinishing existing hardwood — sanding, staining, and resealing — is generally less than a full replacement and is often the right call for original Old West Side or Burns Park floors that are structurally sound but worn.

A lot of the hardwood under Old West Side and Burns Park homes is original — and often worth saving. If your floors have surface scratches, dated stain color, or worn finish but the wood itself is solid, refinishing can bring back a floor that's outlasted several owners already, at a fraction of replacement cost.

We evaluate the wood on-site during your estimate to tell you honestly whether refinishing will get the result you want or whether age, prior sanding, or water damage make replacement the better long-term investment — no upselling, just what the floor actually needs.
