Hardwood flooring in Lynnwood, WA

Snohomish County's wet winters and the humidity that comes off the Sound push moisture into crawlspaces and slabs more than a drier climate would. Solid hardwood is more sensitive to that than most people expect - it expands and contracts with moisture, and in a badly prepped install that shows up as cupped boards or gaps a year or two later.

We acclimate every board on-site before installation and check moisture readings in your subfloor first. In Lynnwood homes where that reading comes back high, we'll recommend engineered hardwood instead of pushing solid wood into a room that won't be kind to it.

Installed engineered hardwood typically runs $8-13 per square foot in Lynnwood depending on species, plank width, and how much subfloor prep your home needs; solid hardwood refinishing usually falls around $4-6 per square foot. Every quote is measured in your home and written out before we start.

There's no allowance system or mid-project add-ons - the number Max gives you at the estimate is the number on the invoice, tear-out and haul-away included.

MK Flooring is small on purpose. Max and his crew handle every hardwood install personally, from the first measurement to the final walkthrough, instead of handing your job off to a rotating crew of subcontractors.

That means the person who measured your Lynnwood home is the same person who's on his knees installing the boards - and the one who answers the phone if something needs a second look after the job is done.
