Hardwood for Homes That Are Not Always Lived In

A Cape Charles second home or rental can sit closed for weeks, and without daily air conditioning humidity climbs and falls fast. Solid hardwood reacts to those swings by gapping and cupping. For most homes here we recommend engineered hardwood, with a real wood face over a stable core, installed over a moisture-tested subfloor with the right barrier. In homes lived in year-round, solid white oak remains a great choice.
