| Hi all , newbie here . I'am buying a 7 year old home , my first , and planning to replace carpet in 1st and 2nd floor with hardwood. I got a quote from couple of flooring companies and got a good quote for handscrapped birch hardwood for $4.93 , 1/2" Engineered Hickory for $5.93 and 3/4" Handscraped Solid hardWood for $6.79 ( all price includes labour charges ) . I'am not too sure which one to choose . Any suggestions ? And Is it ok to install engineered hardwood on my 1st floor and solid on 2nd floor ? Thanks. |

| If your first floor is concrete, then I would go with the engineered. Nothing is stopping you from going to a solid in the upper floor over the wood substrate, unless for some odd reason, your second floor is pan poured concrete. Solid wood and concrete don't mix very well. |
