Choosing the Right Wood Species for Your Floors
Oak
European Oak is a popular type of Oak we install. It's suitable for modern and farmhouse-style homes throughout Roseville and Granite Bay.
Maple
Maple wood has rich, deep brown with elegant grain. It's a premium look for living rooms, studies, and dining areas.
Hickory
Hickory is hard, rustic, and full of color variation. It's great for high-traffic homes, families with kids and dogs, and anyone who loves character.

It's rich, deep brown with elegant grain with a premium look for living rooms, studies, and dining areas.

Recent Work: Whole-House European Oak in West Roseville
This whole-house hardwood install was completed in a new construction home in West Roseville. The homeowners chose European Oak by Mullican, a beautiful wide-plank engineered hardwood with rich grain detail and a soft, modern finish that fits perfectly with newer Roseville architecture.
The job scope covered the entire house, and our team wrapped the project in five days from start to finish. The result is exactly what we love about hardwood: clean lines, warm tones, and a floor that ties every room together.

We partner with respected hardwood manufacturers so you can shop our flooring products with full confidence:
- Mullican - American-made hardwood with excellent craftsmanship and a beautiful European Oak line.

Common Questions About Hardwood Floors
Hardwood flooring at our Lincoln showroom typically runs between $6 and $14 per square foot for materials, depending on species, brand, and construction.
Premium wide-plank European Oak or designer collections can run higher. Add roughly $3 to $6 per square foot for professional installation. For more cost-saving ideas, take a look at our budgeting and financing tips for new floors.
For most homes in the Sacramento area, yes. Engineered hardwood handles our humidity swings and dry summers better than solid wood, which can cup or gap over time. It also installs over concrete slabs and works with radiant heat. Solid hardwood still works beautifully in traditional builds. We'll help you choose based on your subfloor and home.
Most single-room hardwood installs finish in one to two days. A whole-house project usually takes three to seven days, depending on layout, square footage, and any subfloor prep. Our recent whole-house European Oak install in West Roseville wrapped in five days. We'll give you a clear timeline at your free estimate.
It depends on the rooms and how you live. Hardwood adds long-term value and works beautifully in living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, and entries. Luxury vinyl is a smart pick for kitchens, bathrooms, and busy households with pets. Many of our customers mix both.
