Wood Species Selection
Transform your home with new solid hardwood flooring in the Dallas-Fort Worth. Hardwood flooring has unique markings from the trees they come from, including knots, color variation and grains. At All American Flooring, our solid hardwood flooring options give you complete creative control to craft a floor that matches your style and taste.
Choosing the right domestic or exotic wood species is important in creating the perfect hardwood floor. Red or white oak, maple, hickory and walnut are popular wood species, each offering unique characteristics. Walnut is softer than oak and maple but is still durable for residential use with its excellent dimensional stability. Walnut is better suited for low-traffic areas or homes where softness is valued over extreme hardness. It has a Janka rating of 1010.
Maple is tough, with a Janka hardness rating of around 1450 for hard maple — making it highly resistant to dents and scratches and one of the hardest domestic floors. It's best for high-traffic areas or commercial spaces. Soft maple scores between 700-950 on the Janka scale. Oak is durable and moderately hard, with a Janka hardness rating of 1290-1360 depending on the type of oak.

Why Choose Solid Hardwood in DFW?
Solid hardwood flooring, otherwise known as site-finished hardwood floors, gives you the freedom to design a floor that is truly yours. As the name suggests, the floor is not factory finished. Solid hardwood is a single, solid piece of wood. It is coveted for its authenticity, longevity and durability. This lack of finish makes customization easy by letting you choose your stains, coloring treatments, lacquers and protective layers.
Benefits of Solid Hardwood Flooring
Here are some key benefits of solid hardwood flooring:
- Greater customization with different finish options, borders, inlays and more
- Seamless finishes for a uniform look
- Long-lasting beauty
- Timeless appeal
You can also paint solid hardwood flooring if you're looking for a more extreme color.

Affordability and Versatility
Solid hardwood flooring is a cost-effective choice for those who prioritize long-term durability and customization over the convenience of prefinished options. While it requires more effort upfront, the flexibility and potential savings make it a smart investment for many homeowners.
Enhancing Home Beauty and Elegance
Solid hardwood floors embody a classic beauty and authentic character, making them a staple in homes for generations. Their versatility and ability to complement any style make them an elegant choice.
Adding a Touch of Sophistication to Any Space
Homeowners can select from a variety of stain colors. Lighter stains highlight the wood's natural grain, while darker stains add elegance and sophistication.
Refinishing Techniques for Long-Term Use
Over time, even well-maintained floors can show signs of wear, such as dullness, scratches or fading.
Periodic refinishing helps restore their original charm and ensure longevity. You should refinish the floor in the future after a period of 10, 15 or 20 years from the initial installation.
Hardwood Floor Installation Process
First, we gather our materials and tools and then we prepare the subfloor to ensure it's clean, dry and level. We will remove all old flooring and repair any damage. Then, we will bring the solid hardwood planks into the room to let them acclimate to the environment. It's a great way to prevent moisture-related failures and other issues such as cupping, warping and gaping. Solid hardwood can be:
- Nailed down
- Stapled
- Glued
If desired, we apply wood stain to achieve your preferred color — working in small sections to ensure even coverage. After installing all the planks, we remove all imperfections and prepare the wood for finishing. For our final touches, our team removes spacers and installs baseboards to cover expansion gaps. We clean the floor and allow it to cure fully before heavy use.
Hand Scraped Hardwood Flooring
With this type of flooring, our installers can hand scrape each piece of flooring to mimic the look of an old, worn floor.
Longevity of Hardwood Floors
Hardwood is a durable flooring choice and often lasts longer than other flooring materials. The average life span depends on the type of wood. For example, oak, cherry and bamboo can last up to 30 years, and pine can last up to 100 years.
Some tips for looking after your floors are:
- Keep floors free of dirt and debris with gentle sweeping or vacuuming.
- Use rugs in high-traffic areas and felt pads under furniture.
- Address scratches or stains quickly with touch-up products or spot sanding.
- Gently mop the floor without oversaturating the wood.
