I think the comic does not depict a remodeler trying to convince a homeowner about the layer of hardwood: the reaction "I guess so..." doesn't seem enthusiastic enough for that. Instead, I think the comic reads more sensibly (and more in Munroe's style) if it's seen as depicting a geologist explaining the layers of geological stratification and a home renovator then jumping to the conclusion that there is hardwood to be found. Under this interpretation, Blondie replies "I guess so..." because Cueball's remark was genuinely unexpected.
