For starters, you'll want to know what kind of wood to choose. Your flooring professional might ask several questions to arrive at a perfect species. You can expect to be asked about:

• How much traffic is normal for your household?
• Do you have pets?
• Is water or moisture an issue?
• Can you keep up with the maintenance?

These are just a few of the questions that will help narrow down the species field. Harder woods make the perfect flooring for busy homes, while softer woods can be used in low traffic rooms. Are you apt to have scuffs and scratches that might appear after a short period of time? If this is the case, then you might want to look at finish options. The classic, waxed, shiny look is normally what people think of when hardwood flooring is mentioned. However, there are other options that will hide small imperfections far better.
