Hardwood flooring in Seattle, WA

A huge share of Seattle's housing, especially in neighborhoods like Ballard, Wallingford, and Green Lake, dates back to the early 1900s, and most of those homes were originally built with solid fir or oak hardwood, often still hiding under decades of carpet. Seattle's mild but wet climate is generally kind to hardwood, though homes near the water and older basements can carry more humidity, which is worth checking before any refinish or new install.

In newer construction downtown and in South Lake Union, we install more engineered hardwood, which handles the humidity swings of a high-rise or concrete-slab building better than solid wood.

We start every Seattle project with a free in-home estimate, which is especially useful here given how much variation there is between a Capitol Hill walk-up, a West Seattle rambler, and a Ballard craftsman. New hardwood installs typically run one to three days, while refinishing an existing floor with dustless equipment usually takes two to four days depending on room count and whether the stain color is changing.

Street parking and building access in denser Seattle neighborhoods factor into our scheduling too, something we account for during your estimate so the day of the job goes smoothly.

Our installers are employees, not subcontractors, so the same trained crew handles your job from measurement to final finish coat. We're manufacturer-certified on the hardwood products we install most often, and every job carries our Lifetime Workmanship Warranty.

Seattle customers often mention how well our crews communicate about timeline and how clean they leave a job site each day, something you can read about firsthand on our reviews page.
