Hardwood Flooring Built for Boulder County Homes
Right This Way Flooring helps Boulder County homeowners choose and install hardwood floors that bring natural warmth, long-term value, and dependable performance to their homes. We specialize in engineered hardwood selected for Colorado’s dry climate, with professional installation, clear pricing, and guidance from the first sample to the final walkthrough.
Natural Style for Colorado Homes
Hardwood flooring creates a natural, timeless foundation that works in historic homes, mountain-modern interiors and contemporary spaces. It is easy to maintain, available in a wide range of styles and capable of adding long-term value when the right product is professionally installed and properly cared for.
Unlike carpet, hardwood has a smooth surface that does not hold dust in the same way and is easy to sweep or clean with a manufacturer-approved wood floor product. Regular dry cleaning and prompt spill removal help protect the finish and keep the floor looking its best.
Quality hardwood can serve a home for many years and may be refinished when the product and wear layer allow. Its natural appearance, repair potential and broad buyer appeal make it a strong long-term flooring choice for homeowners who plan beyond the next design trend.
Engineered hardwood has a real wood surface over a layered core designed to reduce movement caused by environmental changes. This added stability makes it well suited to many Boulder County homes, especially for wider planks, below-grade spaces or installations where seasonal humidity changes must be carefully managed.
Solid hardwood may be suitable when the home maintains the indoor conditions required by the manufacturer and the subfloor, plank dimensions and installation method support the product. We review these factors before recommending solid wood and explain the ongoing humidity and care requirements needed to protect the floor.
The wear layer is the real wood surface above the engineered core. Its thickness affects the appearance, durability and potential for future refinishing. Some engineered hardwood products can be professionally sanded and refinished, while others are intended for lighter surface renewal only. We will explain what the manufacturer allows before you choose.
As CEO and Head of Install at Right This Way Flooring, Chris Edwards brings hands-on flooring expertise to every project. He leads our team in helping Boulder homeowners choose the right hardwood and ensuring every installation is approached with craftsmanship, care, and long-term performance in mind.
Our hardwood flooring work follows National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) standards and industry best practices. From subfloor preparation and moisture considerations to proper installation, our team focuses on the details that help hardwood floors look beautiful and perform for years to come.
Timeless versatility, naturally refined.
A Boulder favorite for its distinctive grain and neutral undertones, white oak hardwood flooring pairs beautifully with everything from wide planks and natural finishes to contemporary stains.
Warm, familiar and full of character.
The expressive grain and natural warmth of red oak bring classic hardwood character into the home. Its ability to take stain beautifully also gives homeowners plenty of design flexibility.
Clean lines, subtle natural beauty.
With its smooth grain and lighter appearance, maple hardwood flooring feels right at home in bright, contemporary Boulder interiors. Its natural hardness also suits busy everyday spaces.
Built tough, never ordinary.
Few hardwoods combine durability with as much personality as hickory. Bold grain and natural color variation create a distinctive floor well suited to active households and high-traffic areas.
Warm character that evolves beautifully.
Known for its smooth grain and reddish-brown tones, cherry develops deeper, richer color with age. It’s an elegant hardwood option for interiors that call for warmth and traditional character.
Rich, warm and naturally sophisticated.
Deep brown tones and flowing grain give walnut hardwood flooring an unmistakably elevated look. It brings warmth and depth to Boulder homes where the floor is meant to make a statement.
Acclimation requirements vary by product, manufacturer, installation method and site conditions. When acclimation is required, we deliver and store the flooring under the specified indoor conditions, then verify that the material and subfloor readings are appropriate before installation begins.
Before installation, we evaluate the subfloor and take moisture readings where required by the product and installation system. When conditions fall outside the approved range, we explain the necessary preparation, moisture-control system or installation adjustment before work proceeds.
Wood flooring performs best when the home stays within the indoor temperature and humidity range required by the manufacturer. We explain those requirements before installation and provide practical care guidance so you can protect the floor and maintain applicable product and installation coverage.
All real wood can change color over time when exposed to sunlight. For rooms with strong direct light, we help you compare species, stains and factory finishes, then recommend window coverings, rug rotation and furniture placement strategies that may help the floor age more evenly.
Great hardwood floors start with experienced guidance and proper installation. Chris Edwards, CEO and Head of Install at Right This Way Flooring, leads our team with a hands-on approach to helping Boulder homeowners choose and install hardwood flooring that fits their home, lifestyle, and long-term needs.
Our work follows National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) standards and industry best practices, with careful attention to product selection, subfloor preparation, moisture conditions, and proper installation. It’s expertise and craftsmanship focused on getting your hardwood floors right from the start.
For Boulder homeowners, that means your hardwood flooring is installed with careful attention to the conditions that can affect wood flooring performance, including the subfloor, moisture, temperature, and indoor humidity.
Not every hardwood floor needs to be replaced. If your floors are scratched, worn, dull, or showing their age, professional hardwood floor sanding and refinishing can restore their natural beauty and give them a fresh new finish.
Right This Way Flooring provides hardwood floor refinishing in Boulder, CO, helping homeowners renew existing wood floors while preserving the character that makes real hardwood worth keeping.
Professional sanding removes surface scratches, worn finishes, and years of everyday wear. It creates a clean, even surface that prepares your hardwood floors for a beautiful new finish.
Refinishing restores the natural grain and character of your hardwood while giving you the opportunity to refresh its color and finish. The result is a renewed look without replacing the floors you already have.
A new protective finish helps defend your hardwood against everyday wear while preserving its natural beauty. Proper refinishing can extend the usable life of your floors and help them perform beautifully for years to come.

Price includes Colorado climate expertise.
Yes, if you buy quality. The engineered floors we sell have a thick top layer that can be sanded and refinished 1–3 times, depending on the thickness. Cheap, big-box store versions often cannot be refinished.
Technically, it’s a grass, but it behaves like wood. It is extremely hard (durable) but can be sensitive to humidity swings. We can help you decide if it’s right for your specific home environment.
In Colorado, less water is more. Never wet-mop your wood floors. Use a microfiber dust mop for daily cleaning and a specific hardwood cleaner (like Bona) for spot cleaning to prevent water damage.
It’s a rating of how resistant wood is to denting. Hickory and Oak are high on the scale (great for busy homes), while Walnut is softer (better for low-traffic areas). We’ll help you pick the right hardness for your lifestyle.
Yes. Hardwood is one of the few flooring materials that adds quantifiable resale value to a home in the Boulder/Denver market.

Absolutely LOVE my floors. Right this way refinished my hardwood floors in my 1959 mid century ranch home & they came out BEAUTIFUL. They also installed new luxury vinyl tiles in my basement. Also stunning. They regrouted my tile in my master bathroom and installed new tile back splash in my basement kitchen. Everything came out perfectly. They work quickly and efficiently & make sure everything is done correctly. Will
definitely be using them again & again for all future projects. You won’t be disappointed.
Aleah was a great estimator and they were very thorough in their guarantees. We got quotes from over 10 different companies and they did an amazing job restoring our red oak hardwood floors. I cannot thank their team enough for being responsive, reachable, and reasonably priced. They clearly have long standing staff and don’t just contract out estimators and crews. Was very lucky they were able to fit us into their busy schedule with just a couple days notice
I will happily recommend and work with Right this Way Flooring again! From the estimator to the project scheduler to the project manager and the expert tile setter, everyone was so nice, responsive, and easy to work with. The quality of the work is beautiful, and I appreciated how they helped me make a few crucial decisions. Total excellent value for the price!
