Homerwood Premium Hardwood: Authentic American Flooring for Lasting Home Value

The Foundation of a Beautiful Home

Choosing the right flooring is arguably the most critical design decision a homeowner will make. It is not just a surface you walk on; it is the canvas for your entire home's aesthetic. The right floor sets the tone for ambiance, dictates comfort underfoot, and significantly influences the long-term market value of your property. While trends come and go, genuine quality remains a constant.

Among the myriad of options available today, Homerwood® Premium Hardwood Flooring has earned a reputation as a leading choice for discerning homeowners. Known for its dedication to American craftsmanship and "perfectly imperfect" visuals, Homerwood offers a blend of rugged durability and sophisticated style that mass-produced floors simply cannot replicate.

Why Homerwood® Premium Hardwood Flooring?

Quality Craftsmanship and American Heritage

Homerwood stands apart because of its philosophy that the true beauty of a tree lies in its natural narrative. Founded in 1984 and sourcing primarily from the Appalachian region—renowned for producing some of the world's finest, most stable timber—Homerwood focuses on high-quality production. Unlike manufacturers that strip away all natural characteristics to create a uniform, plastic-looking product, Homerwood’s manufacturing process preserves the wood's authentic "fingerprints." This commitment to premium quality ensures that every plank is not just a building material, but a work of art.

Durability for Active Lifestyles

Modern homes are busy places, but Homerwood is built to handle the chaos of pets, kids, and high foot traffic. The brand’s flagship Simplicity® Collection features robust engineered construction. By layering real hardwood over a supportive core, these floors resist the expanding and contracting that often causes solid wood to gap or cup. Furthermore, the surface is protected by a UV-Cured Urethane finish with Aluminum Oxide. This "invisible shield" provides commercial-grade resistance against scuffs, scratches, and everyday wear, ensuring the floor remains beautiful for decades.

Eco-Friendly Options

For the environmentally conscious consumer, Homerwood is a responsible choice. The company utilizes lumber from the Appalachian region, an area known for sustainable forestry practices where tree growth exceeds removal. Additionally, Homerwood floors are FloorScore® Certified. This certification guarantees that the flooring meets strict indoor air quality standards and has low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, contributing to a healthier breathing environment for your family.

Style & Selection

Versatile Design Choices

Your home should reflect your personality, and Homerwood offers the versatility to make that happen. The Simplicity® Collection is divided into two distinct visual grades to cater to different aesthetics:

• Character Grade (Hickory): Perfect for rustic, farmhouse, or traditional homes. These planks embrace the entire log, featuring open knots, mineral streaks, and dramatic grain patterns.
• Prime Grade (White Oak): Ideal for modern, minimalist, or transitional spaces. These planks are curated for a cleaner, more uniform appearance with fewer natural markings.

Innovative Technology

Homerwood integrates smart design with functionality. A standout feature is their use of long-length planks (up to 96 inches). This is a significant upgrade from standard industry flooring, which often comes in short, choppy pieces. Long planks create a seamless, expansive visual that makes rooms feel larger and more luxurious. Additionally, their trending matte (low gloss) finish technology offers a sophisticated look that helps hide dust and micro-scratches better than high-gloss alternatives.

Real-Life Applications

Homerwood floors have successfully transformed spaces ranging from cozy basement dens to expansive open-concept living rooms. In renovation projects, replacing carpeting with Homerwood's Character Grade Hickory often serves as an immediate anchor, turning a plain room into a warm, inviting gathering space. The engineering allows for installation on any level of the home, bringing the warmth of real wood to areas where solid planks traditionally couldn't go.

The Perfect Fit for Active Families

Family-Friendly Maintenance

Parents and pet owners love Homerwood because it simplifies home maintenance. The high-performance finish means there is no need for waxing or polishing—ever. Cleaning is as simple as regular sweeping and occasional mopping with a manufacturer-approved cleaner (like Bruce® Hardwood & Laminate Floor Cleaner). The matte texture of the Simplicity Collection is particularly forgiving, masking the inevitable dog claw marks or toy scratches better than shiny floors.

Enhancing Home Value

Installing premium hardwood is one of the few home improvements that offers a high return on investment. Real estate agents often cite "genuine hardwood floors" as a top selling point. By choosing a recognized premium brand like Homerwood, backed by a 50-Year Residential Warranty, you are signaling to future buyers that the home has been maintained with quality materials.

What Homeowners Are Saying

Homeowners frequently praise the "lived-in" luxury of Homerwood. Many appreciate that the Character Grade floors hide dust and dents so well that the floor looks pristine even a week after cleaning. The consensus is clear: the initial investment pays off in daily satisfaction and long-term durability.
