While luxury vinyl and tile have their place, hardwood remains the flooring of choice for many Lake Norman and Mooresville homeowners—and for good reason. At Above Board Flooring, we’re passionate about bringing the timeless appeal of real wood into homes across the region.

Hardwood = Beauty and Value

Hardwood floors have a timeless quality that other materials can’t replicate. From waterfront homes in Cornelius to historic properties in Mooresville, hardwood:

• Increases home value.
  
• Adds natural beauty and warmth.
  
• Can be refinished multiple times, extending its lifespan.
  

Perfect for Open-Concept Living

Lake Norman’s love of open floor plans is perfectly complemented by hardwood’s ability to create a seamless flow between living, dining, and kitchen spaces.

Popular wood species include:

• Oak (classic and versatile).
  
• Maple (light and modern).
  
• Hickory (rustic and durable).
  
• Walnut (dark and luxurious).
  

Hardwood Stands the Test of Time

Unlike some synthetic flooring options, real hardwood ages gracefully. Minor scuffs and wear often enhance the character of the wood rather than detract from it.

Custom Solutions for Waterfront Homes

For homes near the water, such as those along Lake Norman’s shoreline, engineered hardwood is often recommended due to its resistance to moisture and warping. However, even traditional solid hardwood can thrive when installed and finished properly.

Hardwood + Area Rugs = Comfort and Flexibility

Many homeowners in Mooresville and beyond use custom area rugs to define spaces and add extra softness over hardwood flooring.
