Engineered hardwood flooring is a “solid choice” for this region since it does well in humid conditions. Careful attention to which hardwood species you choose, as well as maintaining a consistent climate indoors will also go a long way.
Water or oil-based finishes will extend your floor’s life, adding another layer of protection against humidity, moisture, and daily wear.

Hardwood installation is most often a time-consuming, hard, and frustrating process if you’re not used to it. It requires very careful measurement-taking, special tools, and plenty of patience. It’s also very physically demanding, as most of the time is spend on your knees. Newbies can very easily make some very expensive mistakes.
Even more important: most hardwood product warranties require professional flooring installation as a condition of future coverage. So, while it might be tempting to try and self-install and save money right now, this decision could end up costing you a great deal down the road!
