Hardwood in Amherst's housing mix
Amherst includes older homes near Eggertsville and Snyder, where hardwood may already be underfoot, and newer builds in places like Getzville with open layouts and big living areas. New hardwood can unify an open plan so there is one continuous look.
Where a home already has hardwood, we can match or blend new boards with existing ones, or refinish the whole floor so it all reads the same.
Choosing between solid and engineered
Solid hardwood is a natural fit over wood subfloors and can be refinished multiple times. Engineered hardwood has a layered core that stands up better to humidity and can go on more types of subfloors.
See our pages on solid hardwood and engineered hardwood for the particulars.
Seasonal care in Western New York
Dry winter air can cause boards to shrink and open small gaps, and humid summers can make them swell. Keeping indoor humidity reasonable helps the floor stay stable.
Entry mats, felt pads under furniture and prompt cleanup of snowmelt keep the finish looking good.
What hardwood costs in Amherst
Plan on about $8 to $15 per square foot installed for engineered hardwood and $9 to $18 or more for solid in 2026, depending on species, plank width and subfloor condition. Refinishing existing floors is usually less per square foot than installing new ones.
Stair treads, patterns and furniture moving are priced separately. We itemize everything in your estimate.
