        "text": "Installing hardwood over existing tile or concrete is possible but requires careful assessment and preparation. Engineered hardwood is generally more suitable for installation over concrete due to its dimensional stability. For tile, it often depends on the tile's condition and whether the subfloor can handle the added height and weight. Our team can assess your specific subfloor conditions to determine the best approach, which may involve additional subfloor leveling or moisture mitigation for optimal results.",
