Hardwood Flooring Sales in Chandler, Arizona

Before buying hardwood flooring, it's crucial to consider the climate, subfloor type, foot traffic, and lifestyle factors like pets or children. Chandler's dry climate and concrete slab foundations often make engineered hardwood a better fit due to its moisture stability. Also, think about the finish (matte hides scratches better), the wood species (hickory and oak are more durable), and whether you plan to install over radiant heat. Enmar’s team walks customers through these variables during a showroom consultation to help you make an informed decision that balances beauty, durability, and cost.

Prefinished hardwood is factory-coated and arrives ready to install, with uniform finishes and minimal mess. Site-finished hardwood is sanded and sealed after installation, offering more customization and seamless appearance. In Chandler, many buyers prefer prefinished options for faster turnaround and less disruption. However, site-finished is ideal for those seeking custom stains or a completely smooth surface without micro-bevels. At Enmar, we help you weigh your priorities—timeline, budget, aesthetic goals—and choose the right fit for your home.

Yes, engineered hardwood is real wood. It has a solid hardwood veneer on top and plywood or high-density fiberboard layers underneath for stability. In Chandler’s dry, hot climate, engineered hardwood resists expansion and contraction better than solid wood, making it a reliable choice for slab homes. While solid hardwood can be sanded more often, many engineered options now offer thick enough wear layers to refinish at least once or twice. Enmar’s showroom carries both types, and our sales team will recommend what’s best for your specific conditions.

For high-traffic areas, we recommend hickory, maple, and white oak due to their hardness and scratch resistance. These species are ideal for families with children or pets and hold up well to daily wear. At Enmar, we guide you through the Janka hardness rating system, which measures wood durability, and match your selection with an appropriate finish—like wire-brushed or matte—that helps camouflage everyday dings. This ensures your floors maintain their beauty long after installation.

Absolutely. While our Chandler showroom offers a wide array of displays, Enmar also provides in-home sample services so you can see how lighting, furniture, and wall colors interact with your chosen wood tones. This helps prevent surprises and ensures confident purchasing decisions. Factors like natural sunlight, shadows, and room size affect color perception, so bringing samples into your own environment is a best practice we strongly recommend.

Pricing depends on species rarity, construction (solid vs. engineered), finish quality, board length/width, and brand reputation. For example, exotic woods like Brazilian cherry cost more than domestic oak. Wide planks and longer lengths also raise prices due to waste and milling precision. Engineered floors with thicker wear layers and UV-cured finishes tend to be more expensive but offer more longevity. Enmar ensures Chandler customers understand exactly what they’re paying for—no hidden markups, just transparent, informed guidance.

Yes—especially if you're seeking long-term value and aesthetics. Premium hardwood often comes with better warranties, more refined finishes, and greater structural integrity. Budget flooring may save money upfront but can cost more in the long run due to wear, limited refinishing options, or early replacement. Enmar helps Chandler homeowners identify where it makes sense to invest (like main living areas) and where cost-effective options can work (like guest rooms or offices).

Avoid buying based on images alone. Colors can vary greatly depending on lighting and monitor settings. Also, be cautious of vague product descriptions, unclear return policies, and unverified brands. Many online retailers skip crucial quality checks like moisture resistance ratings or core construction details. At Enmar, we encourage Chandler buyers to compare physical samples, ask about product specs, and rely on our in-person guidance to avoid costly mistakes from online-only purchases.

Warranties typically cover manufacturing defects, finish wear, and structural integrity—but only if installation and maintenance follow the manufacturer's guidelines. For instance, using the wrong cleaner or not acclimating the floor may void the warranty. Enmar explains warranty terms in plain language, helps with registration when needed, and ensures products are installed according to warranty requirements. We stand by the products we sell, providing Chandler buyers peace of mind beyond the showroom.

Start by comparing species, construction type, plank size, finish, and price per square foot. Feel the surface texture, check the thickness of the wear layer (on engineered products), and ask about finish coatings (matte, gloss, oil-based). At Enmar, we break down differences side-by-side and encourage questions about warranties, installation needs, and cleaning compatibility. Our Chandler showroom allows customers to handle, compare, and visualize products under real lighting—something online images can’t replicate.
