Hardwood Flooring Supplied and Installed from Our Commack Showroom
Hardwood flooring is still the floor Long Island asks for first. All Carpet Inc. stocks hardwood flooring in solid and engineered formats off Jericho Turnpike, with cork and bamboo in the warehouse for the rooms that want a softer underfoot. Same-day delivery and next-day installation are the norm when the species is on the shelf.
For basements, kitchens, and bathrooms where moisture is a concern, ask about 100% waterproof luxury vinyl plank, which gives you the look of wood without the worry. We also install carpet and padding for bedrooms and vinyl composition tile for remodeling projects.

What a Hardwood Flooring Project Includes
- Solid oak, maple, hickory, and walnut in 3/4 inch nail-down
- Engineered hardwood flooring for slab and basement rooms
- Prefinished hardwood flooring with factory wear layer
- Natural cork and bamboo for softer feet and quieter rooms
- Subfloor leveling, moisture test, and squeak repair
- Shoe mold, quarter round, and stair nosings cut to match
- Haul away of the old flooring and old shoe mold
- Same-day delivery and next-day install when the species is on the shelf
Every hardwood flooring installation starts with the subfloor. We check for squeaks, flatness, and moisture before any boards come off the truck. From there, species, width, and finish are chosen in the showroom with full sample boards you can carry back to the room.
Rooms Where Hardwood Flooring Still Wins on Long Island
Front halls, living rooms, and formal dining
The classic use. A 3 1/4 inch red oak board in a Smithtown colonial hallway ages into the house. Prefinished hardwood flooring with a factory wear layer gets you there in days, not weeks, and skips the dust and the smell of three coats of poly curing in the living room.
Second-floor bedrooms over a wood subfloor
Solid hardwood floor installation is the right call on an upstairs floor with a plywood subfloor. The boards are blind-nailed, the room is quiet underfoot, and the floor can be refinished when the kids are grown and the dog has done its worst.
Basements, slabs, and over radiant heat
Engineered hardwood flooring handles slabs, radiant heat, and the humidity swings that make solid wood cup. We float or glue it over the right underlayment, with the moisture barrier and the perimeter gap sized to the room. For a Dix Hills ranch with a slab, engineered is almost always the honest answer.
How Our Commack Crew Lays Solid and Engineered Boards
- Calls and messages answered within one hour
- Free in-home measure and written estimate the same day
- In-house install crew, no subcontracted labor on your floor
- Ralph, the owner, on every job before the baseboards go back
Boards get delivered a few days ahead and left in the room to acclimate. On install day the crew pulls the baseboards, lays the vapor barrier, and sets a chalk line off the straightest wall rather than the one that reads straight. Solid hardwood floor installation is cleat-nailed into a plywood subfloor. Engineered goes glue-down over slab or floating with a quiet pad. Transitions, nosings, and shoe mold are cut on-site, not snapped under a stock cap.
We are fully insured on every residential and commercial job, which matters more on a slab basement than most people think. Ralph, the owner, walks the finished floor before the baseboards go back on.
From Showroom Visit to Finished Floor
Here is how a standard hardwood job runs with us, from the first measure to the day the baseboards go back on.
- 01
Showroom visit and free in-home measure
Walk the showroom to pick species, width, and finish, or book a free in-home measure. We take a moisture reading on the subfloor and show samples in the room's own light so the color on the sample card reads true against your cabinets and trim.
- 02
Acclimation, scheduling, and old floor pull
Boards get delivered to the room a few days ahead to acclimate to the house. The crew pulls old carpet, tile, or laminate, hauls it away, and preps the subfloor so install day starts on a flat, dry, quiet deck.
- 03
Install, transitions, and walk-through
Two-person crew, boards down, transitions mitered on-site, baseboards back on, floor swept twice. Standard bedrooms are a one-day install. Open-plan first floors run three to five days depending on species and layout.
Ten minutes off Jericho Turnpike
If you have been looking for a hardwood flooring store near me from a kitchen off 25A or Jericho Turnpike, the trip is usually ten minutes. The showroom holds full boxes of the top sellers, so the search for a hardwood flooring store near me ends on sample boards you can carry back out to the car.
Pair your hardwood with
- A custom-bound area rug cut from any carpet on our floor to warm a room.
- Sheet vinyl or linoleum for a quieter kitchen, laundry, or basement run.
- Reviews from our customers on how the finished floors have held up.

Hardwood Questions From Long Island Homeowners
What is the real difference between solid and engineered hardwood flooring?
Solid is one piece of wood, 3/4 inch thick, nailed into a wood subfloor. Engineered hardwood flooring is a hardwood wear layer glued to a plywood core, which stays flat on a concrete slab and in a Commack basement that swings humid in July. Solid can be sanded five or six times over its life. Engineered can usually be sanded once or twice, depending on the wear layer.
Can you do a solid hardwood floor installation over my concrete slab?
Not directly. Solid hardwood floor installation needs a plywood subfloor. On a slab, we either float an engineered board over an underlayment or build a plywood subfloor with a moisture barrier first. The free in-home measure is where we take a reading and tell you which route makes sense for the room.
How long does a hardwood flooring installation take in a typical Commack room?
A 220 square foot bedroom with a clean subfloor is a one-day install for prefinished hardwood flooring. A whole first floor with a kitchen, hallway, and great room runs three to five install days, plus a prep day if the old floor has to come up or the slab needs leveling. On-site finished floors add sanding, staining, and three coats of poly on top of that.
Will prefinished hardwood flooring look right next to older boards in another room?
Usually, with a good threshold. We lay a strip of oak or metal at the doorway so a visible seam does not cut the sight line. The hardest match is a 50-year-old red oak hallway. Bring a loose board or a photo to the Commack showroom and we will pull samples that come close in species and tone.
Where is your hardwood flooring showroom and how fast can you get out to measure?
The showroom sits at 6183 Jericho Turnpike in Commack, open Monday through Saturday 10 to 6. Free in-home measures are usually booked inside two business days across Smithtown, Dix Hills, Northport, St. James, Fort Salonga, Melville, and Kings Park.
