Built for our wet climate

The National Wood Flooring Association recommends keeping indoor humidity between 30% and 50%; above about 60%, wood floors start to expand no matter the type. That's why material choice matters here. Fully waterproof SPC and luxury vinyl plank are the most worry-free option for our climate. Engineered hardwood is far more dimensionally stable than solid wood but isn't waterproof, so we keep it in climate-controlled, above-grade rooms, never a basement. Solid hardwood needs proper acclimation and humidity control to stay flat.

Subfloor prep is why floors last

A great floor is mostly about what's underneath it. We add a moisture-barrier underlayment with seams overlapped at least 8 inches and taped, so vapor from the subfloor can't reach the finish floor, and we level the substrate before a single plank goes down. Skipping that prep is why cheap installs cup, gap, and squeak within a year or two.

What flooring costs

Flooring is priced mostly by material and square footage, with waterproof LVP and laminate at the budget-friendly end and hardwood and natural stone at the top. Installation and subfloor prep factor in too.

Frequently asked questions

What's the best flooring for the Pacific Northwest?
For worry-free performance in our damp climate, waterproof luxury vinyl plank or SPC is the top pick. If you want real wood, engineered hardwood in climate-controlled rooms is the safer bet than solid. Tile is ideal for baths, mudrooms, and entries.
Can I put hardwood in my basement?
We don't recommend solid or engineered hardwood in a basement. It's below grade and prone to moisture. Waterproof LVP or SPC is the right call down there, and it looks like wood.
Do you refinish existing hardwood, or only install new?
Both. If your existing hardwood is structurally sound, refinishing it is cheaper and less disruptive than replacement. We'll assess whether it can be refinished before you spend on new flooring.
