Finding the right flooring can be a struggle, especially with the fact that some materials get damaged more easily than others. After all, no one wants floors that look damaged and outdated. That's where hickory hardwood flooring comes—it is the hardest commercially available domestic hardwood. Ideal for busy households, pet owners, and high-traffic spaces, hickory wood brings a rustic charm to any space. Its dramatic color variation and bold grain patterns make each plank unique. Tontine Carpet One offers premium hickory wood flooring in various plank widths, finishes, and stains to homeowners across Buffalo. Shop the collection by visiting our showroom today.
If you're looking for a solid flooring choice (literally and figuratively), hickory wood is the way to go. Between its signature look and natural strength, it's hard to find something not to love. Here are some qualities that help hickory floors come out on top:
Hickory wood has a diverse color palette. From creamy light browns to deep cocoa and cinnamon tones, multiple colors can be found on each board. Its swirls, knots, and mineral streaks add a sense of depth and personality to each plank, allowing hickory to take center stage for those chasing a warm, character-rich look.
This wood isn't just beautiful—it's as tough as nails. Throughout history, it has been used for wagon wheels and tool handles. Hickory offers a dense, slow-growing nature, which allows it to withstand dents, scuffs, and scratches. Additionally, it can last over 100 years with proper maintenance and refinishing.

Is your house full of kids, dogs, and guests? If you answered yes to this question, hickory hardwood floors have your back. This flooring material is built to last and can handle anything you throw at it. From daily traffic to rowdy pets, and constant footfall, your hickory hardwood floor can easily maintain its visual appeal.
Looking to make a statement? We recommend wide plank hardwood flooring in hickory because it balances out the dynamic grain, helping to avoid an overly busy look. The broader planks also visually open up your space while showcasing the natural beauty and character of the wood.
Themajority of hardwood floors require a decent amount of maintenance. However, hickory isn’t difficult to take care of if you establish a consistent routine. As with any hardwood flooring, regular sweeping and prompt spill cleanup will keep it looking its best. It’s also important to follow the manufacturer's care instructions to preserve the finish and extend the floor’s lifespan.
Hickory hardwood costs a little more than its counterparts because it’s extremely durable and low maintenance, making it a cost-effective long-term investment. However, the final pricing depends on several factors. The plank width, thickness, and wood grade all influence the quality and price of your flooring materials. You can also choose between prefinished and site-finished options, which allow you to customize the stain color of your hardwood. For those looking for added stability and easier installation, engineered hardwood flooring is another great option to consider. Finally, the installation method and any necessary prep work will also affect the total cost of your floors.
