Once in a lifetime opportunities are notorious for being scarce… after all, the name basically says it all! Once. In. A. Lifetime.

Installing hardwood floors often requires a pretty sizable investment on your part. While the cost of hardwood flooring varies depending on everything from the size of your home to the type of wood that you choose, the average American pays more than $4,300 to have hardwood floors installed.

Steve notes gorgeous handcrafted hardwood adds value to kitchens. Kitchen hardwood ideas were hot topics at the Baird Brothers’ booth at home and garden shows this spring.
