What we install
Hardwood, LVP, and the custom details in between.

How we build your floor
Every floor is a stack. We build all four layers.
Scroll through the build-up that goes under every install — laid in this order, checked at every layer, on every job.
Flat, dry and proven — before anything goes down.
Moisture and flatness get read first. If the slab or subfloor is out of flat, we grind it down or pour self-leveler until it is — a premium floor over a bad subfloor is just a callback on a timer.
Nailed, glued or floating — the method follows the material.
Troweled adhesive, nail-down over wood, or a floating system: whichever the product and the subfloor call for, done to the manufacturer's spec — so the floor stays quiet and tight for decades.
Laid straight, seamed tight.
Rows held straight wall to wall, seams tight, no visible end-cuts. And when the design asks for more: herringbone, borders and brass inlays set flush into the field.
The layer everyone actually sees.
Vents inlaid flush with the plank, transitions cut from your material, tight scribes at the trim — and one-piece stair nosing where the floor meets the stairs. The last 2% that makes it read custom.
The stack closes — and disappears under your feet.
Laid in order and checked at every layer: that build-up is why our floors stay quiet, tight and flat for decades. Yours starts with a walk-through and a real number.
Our signature
Custom stair nosing, built from your floor.
The one detail that separates a custom install from a rushed one — and the reason builders keep our number.
One nose per step. No factory strip.
Most installers buy a stair nose in a color that's "close" to your floor — LVP or hardwood, it never quite matches, and it's the first thing your eye lands on at the top of the stairs. We build ours from your actual flooring: the nose is constructed out of the plank itself, reinforced, squared off to a clean custom edge, and glued together with the flat of the step — so the nose and the entire walking surface go down as one solid piece.
- Matches the floor exactly. Built from your actual flooring stock, not a catalog near-match.
- One piece per step. Nose and full tread surface reinforced into a single squared-edge piece — no seams, no stuck-on lip that peels later.
- Treads & risers together. The whole staircase built to match the floor it flows into.
- Clean at the wall & skirt. Tight scribes where steps meet trim — no caulk-filled gaps.
Full custom builds
And when the design calls for more — we build the whole staircase.
Some projects go past nosing. We take on the complex ones: thick single-piece treads mounted on a steel skeleton so the stairs float in the room, flooring carried over treads and risers alike, glass rails, LED light under every step. It's the same obsession — the staircase reading as one continuous piece of the floor — taken as far as the design wants to go.
- Floating stairs on a steel spine. Solid one-piece treads cantilevered from a central steel stringer — no visible supports.
- LED underlighting. A continuous glow line under every tread, wired in as the staircase is built.
- Wrapped treads & risers. Material on the top, front and face — the whole step clad to match the floor.
- Glass & metal rail integration. Treads scribed clean around standoffs, rails and newels.
Hardwood & engineered
Wood that stays quiet and tight for decades.
Solid or engineered, nail-down, glue-down or floating — the method follows the material and the subfloor, not the other way around. Prep comes first, every time, so the floor doesn't cup, gap or squeak a year in — especially in the wet Pacific Northwest.
- Prep is checked, not assumed. Moisture and flatness get read before the first plank goes down — and if the slab isn't flat, we grind it down or pour self-leveler until it is.
- Sanding, refinishing & repairs. Existing hardwood sanded back to bare wood and refinished, board repairs woven in to match.
- Nail-down, glue-down or floating. Whichever the product and subfloor call for — done to the manufacturer's spec.
- Patterns on the table. Straight lays, herringbone, borders and brass inlays when the design asks for them.
Flush vents, inlays & custom features
The last 2% that makes it read custom.
A floor is only as finished as its edges. Drop-in metal registers, mismatched transitions and rough reveals at the edges are what give a rushed job away. We inlay vents flush with the plank and detail every seam where the floor meets something else — and when the design goes past the floor, we build that too.
- Flush floor vents. Registers inlaid level with the plank instead of dropped in on top.
- Matched transitions. Thresholds and reducers cut from your material, not a stock strip.
- Clean reveals. Straight, consistent lines where flooring meets other finishes.
- Beams & ceilings. Custom beams, and flooring or feature material carried onto the ceiling as a design piece.
- Inlay work. Accents like brass set flush into the field — the kind of detail all over our Instagram.
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP)
Waterproof floors without the callback list.
Luxury vinyl plank is the workhorse for remodels, rentals and busy homes — it takes water, kids and pets and keeps looking sharp. The catch is nobody notices a good LVP job; they notice a bad one. We lay it so nobody notices.
- Waterproof where it counts. Kitchens, baths, laundry, entries — floors that shrug off spills.
- Tight seams, straight lines. No lifting joints, no wandering rows, no visible end-cuts.
- Remodel-friendly. Fast to install and easy to live on — a strong choice when the schedule is tight.
Materials too
Don't have the flooring yet? We stock it.
Through our supply arm we carry quality LVP and hardwood, plus the custom stair noses and flush vents to finish it. So one call can cover both the material and the crew that installs it — no chasing a supplier while your schedule slips.
- LVP & hardwood on hand. Quality material we'd install ourselves.
- Noses & vents to match. The custom pieces most suppliers don't carry.
- One point of contact. Material and install handled together, start to finish.
