Hardwood Flooring

A hardwood floor is the one floor that can outlast the house, and it's the one where shortcuts show the most. Wood moves with humidity, and in the Pacific Northwest humidity swings a lot between a damp November and a dry August. So the boards are brought into the house to acclimate before they go down, the subfloor is checked for moisture and flatness, and the right expansion gap is left at every wall. We install solid hardwood nailed down over a wood subfloor, and engineered hardwood nailed, glued or floated depending on what's underneath — including over concrete, where solid wood shouldn't go. We also handle the work around it: stair nosings, thresholds, reducers and the trim that makes a new floor look like it was always there.
