Solid or engineered hardwood?
Solid hardwood is one piece of wood and can be sanded many times, but it needs a wood subfloor and stable humidity. Engineered hardwood has a real-wood top layer over a plywood core, so it moves less with seasonal moisture and can go over concrete. For most Everett-area homes, especially slabs and basements, engineered is the safer choice, or waterproof vinyl plank where water is a risk. We explain the trade-offs for your rooms before you buy.
Moisture and acclimation come first
Western Washington air is damp much of the year. We measure moisture in the subfloor and in the boards, and we let the wood sit in the house until it matches the room. Skipping this step is the main reason hardwood cups, gaps or squeaks later.
- Moisture readings on subfloor and boards
- Vapor retarder or moisture barrier where needed
- Expansion gaps hidden under trim

Ask us a questionMore flooring answersCan hardwood go in a kitchen?
Yes, with a good finish and quick cleanup of spills. Engineered hardwood is more stable near sinks and dishwashers. If water exposure is a concern, waterproof LVP is the lower-risk option.
Can new hardwood be blended into my old floor?
Often, yes. We bring samples to match the species, width and color as closely as possible, and we can weave new boards into old ones instead of leaving a hard line at the doorway.
How long before I can move furniture back?
Prefinished hardwood can usually take light furniture the same day it is installed. Use felt pads and wait a day or two before rolling heavy items across it.
