Denver, CO · Flooring
Pull back the carpet in an older Denver home and there is often real oak underneath. We refinish what is worth saving, install new hardwood, tile, and LVP, and test the slab before anything goes over concrete.

Between the old oak in the pre-war homes and the concrete slabs in the basements and mid-century ranches, flooring in this city rewards a careful look first. Here is what we check.
Most Denver floors we work on are in homes near Cherry Creek and the South Platte River, built not long after the city was founded in 1858. At 5,280 feet elevation, the dry mile-high air and the old expansive clay soils are part of every job here, and a few of these blocks sit inside a Denver historic district.
Homes in Wash Park, Congress Park, and Park Hill often have narrow-strip oak hiding under decades of carpet. We pull a corner and measure the wood left. If there is enough to sand, refinishing the original floor beats replacing it, and it is the look buyers in these neighborhoods want.
Basement slabs and the slab-on-grade in a lot of southeast Denver ranches can push moisture up through the concrete. We test the slab before install, so a glue-down wood or LVP floor does not cup or lift a year later. If it reads wet, we fix that before we lay anything.
At 5,280 feet the air is dry, so wood floors give up moisture and shrink. We acclimate the flooring in your home before install and set the gaps for the season, so you do not open big cracks the first dry winter.
When a wall comes out or carpet leaves a gap, we lace new oak into the existing runs and refinish the whole floor together. That way the color and sheen match across the house instead of leaving a seam where the old flooring stopped.
Century-old Denver framing settles, so subfloors are rarely flat. We flatten and prep first, because a tile floor over a bouncy or wavy subfloor cracks grout and pops tiles. The prep is the part that makes the finished floor last.
Entryways off a Denver winter take snow and grit, basements can be damp, and kitchens see spills. We match the material to the room, tile or waterproof LVP where it is wet and hardwood where it belongs, so each floor is built for how that space gets used.
