Why Do Homeowners in North Seattle Love Wood Floors?

In North Seattle, we often get soft, gray light filtering through big windows. This light can reflect off the warm tones of wood, bringing a cozy feel to rooms. This is the atmosphere many homeowners in Maple Leaf, Wedgewood, and Northgate prefer. But that’s only one reason North Seattle homeowners choose wood floors.

Well-chosen hardwood brings:

• Timeless style. Unlike trends that stay for a few years and then make your home look dated, hardwood floors in Seattle, and the surrounding area, can be decades old and still look stunning with your Northwest contemporary style. When the finish starts to fade or feels out of sync with your current style, you can refinish and re-stain the wood for a fresh look.
• Improved home value. Hardwood is a great way to invest in the future of your home. Perhaps you plan to sell eventually, or maybe you intend to keep the house as your forever home. Either way, installing wood flooring in Seattle, and the nearby area, can improve your property value and can make your home more enticing should you decide to list later.
• Lasting durability. A wood floor in Seattle can last for decades – even a century – with the right care. You might notice dents and scratches. The wood might also get a stain here or there. But hardwood remains a reliably sturdy flooring option. And while some see the scuffs and scratches as a beautiful patina of memories of what they’ve been through with their floors, others prefer to refinish the wood and clear away years of wear and fading.

Find the Best Hardwood Solution for Your Home in North Seattle

We source a beautiful array of hardwoods in Seattle, WA, that have worked with our climate for decades. You can choose from warm oak, bright maple, and vibrant hickory, as well as many other options. The biggest difference between our wood flooring options comes down to stability and refinishing depth. Some can be sanded down multiple times to refresh again and again over decades, while others can only be refinished once or twice, but offer better stability for Seattle’s high humidity.

You can choose from our solid and engineered hardwood flooring in Seattle:

• Solid hardwood. North Seattle homeowners looking for lasting floors often gravitate to solid hardwood. Not only is this sturdy flooring full of intricate grain patterns and warm, wood charm, but since it’s crafted from thick lumber, it’s an investment that can last for generations and can be refinished several times over its lifespan.
• Engineered hardwood. For many active families in Ballard or Wallingford, engineered wood offers all the beauty and character of hardwood with more forgiving maintenance. Built with a durable core, the floors can handle areas with less environmental control and won’t cup or gap dramatically when indoor humidity changes through the seasons.
