    Jul 11 2025

    Wood floors are timeless—but which type is best for your home, and where should you use it? In this episode of Built to Last, host Eric Schwarze sits down with flooring expert Scott Johnson of East Gate Flooring to break down everything homeowners need to know about choosing the right floor. From understanding hardwood grades and plank sizes to knowing where wood is a good idea—and where it’s not—Scott gives practical advice for new builds and remodels alike. Whether you're deciding between engineered vs. solid hardwood, wondering what flooring belongs in the powder bath, or picking the right surface for upstairs bedrooms, this 10-minute guide will help you walk with confidence.
