Minnesota’s extreme temperature variations, from sub-zero winters to humid summers, require careful hardwood species selection for optimal performance in Plymouth homes. We recommend red oak and hard maple as excellent choices due to their stability and ability to handle seasonal expansion and contraction. These domestic species have proven track records in Minnesota installations and readily adapt to our heating systems and humidity fluctuations.
For homeowners seeking exotic options, Brazilian cherry and hickory offer exceptional durability when properly acclimated to Minnesota conditions. We always recommend engineered hardwood for basement installations in Plymouth area homes, as it provides superior moisture resistance compared to solid hardwood while maintaining authentic wood appearance.
The key factors for Plymouth installations include proper acclimation (typically 7-10 days in your home before installation), appropriate moisture content testing, and using climate-specific installation techniques that accommodate Minnesota’s seasonal wood movement. Our team has perfected these methods through decades of experience in Twin Cities area homes.
