Acclimation and movement
Wood and wood-based flooring moves with humidity, which in this climate swings hard between a wet summer and a dry heated winter. Flooring needs to sit in the room before it goes down.
The expansion gap at the perimeter is not sloppiness. It's what stops a floor from buckling in August. Homeowners routinely ask contractors to close those gaps up. It's a bad idea, and this is a good place to say so.
A floor over a crawlspace or an unconditioned basement behaves differently from one on a second storey. That affects what material makes sense, and we'll talk it through before you buy anything.
