Above Grade Flooring acclimates every board on site and installs solid and engineered hardwood from the brands homeowners already trust, from the older streets near West Colfax to the newer construction toward Green Mountain.

Acclimating boards for dry Colorado air

Ship hardwood straight from a humid warehouse into a Lakewood living room and it will gap by winter. We let every board sit in your home first, track the room's humidity, and leave expansion gaps sized for our dry indoor heat season - not a one-size-fits-all install.

Solid vs. engineered for your home

Older Lakewood homes with a wood subfloor are great candidates for solid hardwood; newer slab-on-grade construction near Green Mountain typically calls for engineered planks that float or glue down without the cupping risk. We walk your subfloor before recommending either one.

Refinishing tired original floors

A lot of Lakewood's older homes still have solid oak hiding under old flooring or a worn finish. Our dustless sand-and-refinish repairs damaged boards, matches stain, and reseals - usually for well under the cost of a full tear-out and replacement.
