Our Services

New installation and restoration for every floor type.

Hardwood Flooring Installation

Solid hardwood brings warmth and lasting value to Kenmore homes. Our installers use nail-down and floating methods depending on your subfloor and moisture conditions around Lake Washington.

White oak, walnut, and maple are popular in Inglewood and Kenmore Terrace neighborhoods. We handle site finishing and prefinished options to match your style and budget.

Engineered Hardwood Installation

Engineered hardwood is ideal for Kenmore's damp climate and homes with radiant heating or slab foundations. The plywood core resists cupping and warping—essential near the Sammamish River and waterfront areas.

Floating installation is quick and minimally disruptive. We source premium brands and match finishes to your home's aesthetic.

Laminate & Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)

Laminate and LVP deliver durability and easy maintenance for busy Kenmore families. Both resist water and are scratch-resistant—perfect for kitchens and entryways in mid-century ramblers.

We install both nail-down and floating systems. Options range from budget-friendly to luxury styles that mimic hardwood or stone.

Floor Refinishing & Restoration

Decades of foot traffic, pet damage, and water exposure can dull your Kenmore hardwood. Refinishing restores beauty and extends the life of solid floors.

We use dustless sanders and hand-scrape options for character. Custom stain colors work for any décor—from traditional to contemporary.

Why Local Expertise Matters

Kenmore isn't a one-size-fits-all flooring market. Here's why we're different.

Moisture & Climate Adaptation

Puget Sound weather—rain, humidity, and cool temps—demands moisture-resistant solutions. Homes near Lake Washington and the Sammamish River face seasonal water exposure. We recommend engineered hardwood, vinyl, or sealed solid wood based on your lot's microclimate.

Mid-Century & Postwar Home Knowledge

Kenmore's 1970s ramblers, 1940s cottages, and 1980s traditionals all have different subfloor structures and settling patterns. We've worked on hundreds of Kenmore homes and understand what works for each era. Uneven floors, old joists, and legacy construction are our specialty.

Neighborhood Familiarity

Arrowhead, Inglewood, Uplake, Kenmore Terrace, and Kenlake Vista each have different home densities and building characteristics. We've restored floors in all of them and understand local design preferences and HOA guidelines.

What Kenmore Homeowners Ask Most

Will hardwood floors work in my waterfront Kenmore home?

Solid hardwood works best in upper floors away from moisture. Engineered hardwood or vinyl is safer near Lake Washington or the Sammamish River. We'll assess humidity levels and recommend the right material for your specific location.

Can you refinish my 1970s oak floors to a modern look?

Yes. Many Kenmore ramblers have original oak that can be refinished with contemporary stains—gray, white-washed, or matte finishes are popular. Sanding is the first step; hand-scraping adds character for rustic aesthetics.

What's the best flooring for homes with radiant heat?

Engineered hardwood and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) are ideal over radiant systems. Solid hardwood can cup with underfloor heating. We've installed hundreds in Kenmore homes with slab foundations and heating systems.

How do I protect new floors from Kenmore weather?

We provide moisture barriers, proper subfloor preparation, and specific care instructions for rain-heavy months. Regular sweeping, area rugs near entry doors, and humidity monitoring (40–60% range) keep floors stable year-round in Kenmore's climate.

Do I need to move furniture? Is there dust involved?

For refinishing, we move light furniture and use dustless sanders to minimize mess. For installation, you should clear the space; we handle heavy lifting and protection. We lay plastic sheeting throughout your Kenmore home to contain debris.
