Hardwood Floor Installation in Edmonds, WA

Q: Is there hardwood already under the carpet in my Bowl bungalow?

Quite possibly. Many pre-1960s Edmonds homes have original oak or fir under decades-old carpet, and refinishing that floor is often smarter than covering it with something new. We will check during your free estimate.

Q: Can I install hardwood in my Westgate daylight basement?

Usually not, and we will tell you honestly if that is the case. Lower levels close to grade often test damp, and waterproof LVP is the safer choice for those rooms.

Q: What kind of hardwood suits a Meadowdale view remodel?

Wide-plank, site-finished, or premium engineered hardwood is what we install most often in these homes, chosen to complement the natural light and hold up to daily use in a home built to be lived in and shown off.

Q: Does my downtown Edmonds condo need special underlayment for hardwood?

Likely, yes. Most HOAs require sound-rated underlayment under floating floors, and we spec the installation to meet those requirements before we ever start.

Hardwood installation in Edmonds covers a wide range, from the Bowl's early-1900s bungalows to the view remodels going up in Meadowdale. In the Bowl, Seaview, and Firdale, original oak or fir is often still there under old carpet, and before we quote new flooring we like to pull back a corner and see what you already own. Up in Meadowdale and along the view streets above the Sound, remodels tend to call for new hardwood outright, often wide-plank and site-finished or premium engineered, chosen to hold its own against the light pouring in from west-facing windows. Westgate, Perrinville, and the streets around Five Corners are a different story: these mid-century ramblers and 1970s split-levels often have daylight basements close to grade, and we generally do not recommend hardwood for those lower levels once the moisture reading comes back.

Downtown, the condos and townhomes built around the Bowl over the past decade come with their own rules, including sound-rated underlayment requirements from the HOA, which we plan for as part of a floating hardwood installation.

What Determines Your Quote

Square footage and layout. View-home great rooms price differently than a condo unit or a rambler's main level.
Material choice. Wide plank versus traditional strip, species, and finish.
Subfloor condition. Moisture testing, leveling, and any repair are identified at the measure.
Tear-out and haul-away. Removing the existing floor is part of the written quote, not an extra.

Our Process

We measure your Edmonds home for free, whether you are in the Bowl, Meadowdale, or a downtown condo, and test the subfloor before writing your quote. Your hardwood acclimates on site ahead of installation, then our GAIA-certified crew preps the subfloor, including any sound-rated underlayment your HOA requires, and installs your new floor. We finish with a full walkthrough so you can inspect every room.

Every installation carries a lifetime workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer's product warranty, and we are licensed, bonded, and insured, WA Contractor Reg. #ELITENF764BT.
