....We don't install much prefinished floors like at Home Depot, we do mostly 3/4" solid, site-finished, the type of wood floor thats been around for a 100 years & will be around for another 100...............
May be around for another 100 years, but will sell less than the far superior engineered wood.
I hear ya,
maybe the millionare's in there mansion's will buy that some day, that's who I prefer to work for.
Nigel Manson, Dwight Gooden,Fred McGriff, the houses on Lykes Ln., Barnetts house on that dried up lake,
the list go's on & on.
Ask your Hoboken rep. he'll tell you about me, if you care too.
But I do agree that engineered floors, especially the un-finished engineered (like Owen's), has it's place if you can find somebody that knows how to sand them the right way.
(theres a few companies in Polk that do the kind of floors I do, Wiiliiford, & I think the other co. is called Classic or somethin like that, you might of heard of them, there doin pretty good)
Yeah, we have Frenchy's(part time now since he is a cop now), Williford, Classic, Volpe, and a couple smaller ones. We deal in prefinished engineered and swear by it. Solid wood just can't hold up to the humidity and moisture in Florida. There is no way to get a finish as smooth as some of the Prefinished. You also don't get the wearing abilities provided by the aluminum oxide on prefinished. We work closely with a guy that does the same as you because it benefits us both. There will always be a market for both woods. With us being a full service flooring store though, we also sell carpet, tile, laminate, vinyl, natural stones, and all the high end specialty stuff. We don't deal with Hoboken much anymore, haven't seen the rep in 2 years. Used to sell BR-111 like nobodys business, but not anymore.
We dont brag about our customers thought so I wont mention them.

try
www.hardwoodinstaller.com
it's a message board & the owner of it lives in S. FL.
when the page pops up, theres a list on the left side & click on "message board" theres everything you can possibly want to know, prob. more than you care to about wood floors & could probably find an instaler in your area on that site.
Don't let those pre-finished warranties fool you though, remember it's a floor, it's gonna get scratched, hopefully you will buy one that can be refinished in 10 years when it starts to wear out, thats what you gotta look out for is the actual "wear layer" of an enginered floor,
but some of these carpet companies that are getting into it will say it has a 25 year warranty, blah,blah, blah.(try to make a claim onit, they'll blame it on your dogs or say you used the wrong type of cleaner.

Or go with a laminate that wont scratch.

I hope you mean carpet companies such as Shaw or Mohawk and not flooring stores that sell carpet. We don't sell wood from those companies we only sell, Mannington, Robins, Anderson, Hartco, Capella, etc. You are right though, CHECK THE WEAR LAYER. A lot of those woods have crazy warranties but dont stand behind the product(like the movie Tommy Boy says) I am also sure KB will back me up on this. Dont goto Home Depot or Lowe's. Stick with a private company that takes pride in their work.

My family's Hardwood Flooring business started in Tampa in 1921(R.L. Holley Co.) & still is today, thats how I got into doing real hardwood floors,that was back when Hardwood was the only type flooring available around here, especially old growth heart pine.
but it's hard working w/ family so I started my own business in '02, my only regret is I didn't do it a lot sooner, all we do is Hardwood & I turn down so much work I could get another crew going but I don't like subbing out, I like keeping it small
( more $$ = more problems)
It's nice to be able to pick & choose your customers too.
