True hard wood floorings always look elegant and lend a timeless appeal to your Fresno, California area home. However they are more prone to dents and scratches. If you can afford the hefty price tag and the maintenance expenses that will crop up in the years ahead, hard wood floors like oak and maple are excellent choices for you. There is also the question of maintenance and you have to be careful about water damage etc. A laminates floor on the other hand offers all the looks of wood that you desire, and none of the maintenance hassles. A laminated wood floor looks as close to hard wood as possible, but does not stain, dent, or show other signs of damage.
Choose from a varying core thickness for your laminated wood floor -- from 6 mm to 12 mm. A slimmer core thickness will ensure that your laminated floor will bend and buckle under too much traffic or weight. Choose a flooring with a higher core thickness to avoid such problems. A thicker core also ensures that your floor will not swell due to moisture. This is especially helpful if you're planning on installing your floor in kitchens or bathrooms. A thicker core can take large amounts of traffic easily, and will make a hardwood floor sound when you walk on it. If you intend to sell the house soon, an expensive hard wood flooring may not be the perfect choice for you. You don't get to enjoy the beauty of your floor for very long,. Also, the newcomers will likely tear apart the flooring -- the floors are usually the first thing to be replaced.
A laminated floor is the right choice if you're looking for wood's desirable looks with the not-so-desirable price tag. Plus they're easy to clean and maintain, saving you more expenses in the long run.

I have a bedroom with 275 sq ft with carpet over concrete, I need a ball-park estimate for hardwood floors. Not sure about the wood, please give me a range from an intermediate to a high-quality wood.
