Oak is the workhorse of American hardwood flooring - about 65% of what we install. Two species dominate: red oak and white oak.

Red oak

White oak

Which we recommend in 2026

70% of our hardwood installs today are white oak. The cooler tone matches contemporary interiors, the grain pattern photographs better, and clients often prefer it once they see both species side-by-side.

That said, red oak is still excellent and the right choice in homes where it matches existing trim, doors, or cabinetry - common in 1970s and 1980s Inland Empire homes.

"I highly recommend Monteros Hardwood Flooring. They refinished the hardwood floors at our Redlands home and they look new and we are extremely happy with the results. Javier communicated regularly throughout the project. His team is professional, efficient and very prompt and the work was finished in a timely manner. We are very pleased with the results and we highly recommend them."

"We had such a great experience with Monteros Hardwood Flooring! Javier, the owner, and his team were super friendly and easy to work with. They really listened to what we wanted and made sure everything was perfect. The floors turned out amazing - so much better than we expected. Their attention to detail was impressive, and you can tell they take pride in their work. If you're looking to get your floors refinished, I can't recommend them enough!"

"Another local hardwood refinisher flaked on me like 3 days before the scheduled job, but Javier and his guys came on short notice and got my 1,050 sq ft job done in 2 and a half days. They were total pros and my floors look and feel incredible. Communication was stellar as well. Highly recommend their services!"
