From the Victorian gems of Mapleton Hill to the modern eco-homes in North Boulder, your floors need to handle more than just foot traffic—they need to survive our altitude. At Right This Way Flooring, we specialize in UV-resistant and aridity-tested flooring that withstands Boulder’s intense sun and dry climate, ensuring your investment looks stunning for decades, not just days.
Boulder isn’t just a high-altitude city; it’s a high-stress environment for your floors. Most flooring is made at sea level where the air is thick and humid. Bring that wood to our 15% humidity and 5,430 feet of elevation, and it can shrink, crack, or leave huge gaps by the first winter.
At Right This Way Flooring, we don’t just “install” floors—we prep them for the Rockies. We use specialized moisture testing to ensure your new floors are perfectly adjusted to your home’s unique climate before the first nail is driven. Whether you’re in a historic Mapleton Hill Victorian or a sunny North Boulder modern, we make sure your investment stays beautiful through every dry spell and snowstorm.
Boulderites expect more than just a floor; you expect sustainability and longevity. We understand that solid wood moves differently in our 15% humidity than it does at sea level, and that “eco-friendly” isn’t just a buzzword here—it’s a requirement. We bring the showroom to your living room, auditing your specific humidity levels and sunlight exposure to recommend materials that won’t cup, crack, or fade under the Flatirons’ sun.
We share your values about quality, sustainability, and doing things right. No greenwashing, no compromises on performance, just eco-conscious floors installed by people who actually understand both Boulder’s climate and its values.
Engineered wide-plank oak that captures that timeless, historic downtown vibe while remaining stable in our dry climate.
100% waterproof luxury vinyl (LVP) built for the triathlete’s mudroom—impervious to snow, grit, and bike cleats.
A budget-friendly, scratch-resistant option that mimics reclaimed wood, ideal for rental properties and basement suites.
Natural, hypoallergenic wool carpet that offers sustainable softness without off-gassing, perfect for energy-efficient homes.
Absolutely. Because Boulder is so dry, wood needs time to adjust to your home’s specific humidity levels before installation. We follow a strict acclimation protocol to prevent gaps and cupping later.
Yes! We specialize in sourcing site-finished hardwoods and specific grain patterns that seamlessly blend with existing century-old floors found in neighborhoods like Whittier and Goss Grove.
We do. We carry a wide range of FloorScore® certified products, including natural wool carpets and formaldehyde-free hardwoods, aligning with Boulder’s green building values.
Engineered hardwood and Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) are excellent choices for radiant heat. They conduct warmth efficiently and are more stable against temperature changes than solid wood.
We treat your home with respect. We use dust-containment systems and HEPA filters during sanding and installation to keep your air quality safe and your surfaces clean.
Why Local Matters: Right This Way Flooring vs. National Franchises
Unlike national flooring franchises that rely on revolving-door subcontractors, Right This Way is a locally owned Boulder entity. We understand how 100-year-old foundations in Mapleton Hill settle and how modern radiant-heat systems in North Boulder impact wood expansion.
We provide precision craftsmanship that big-box stores simply can’t match.
We bring samples to you. We measure your moisture levels, check your subfloor, and look at your lighting to ensure the color you pick is the color you love.
You get a line-by-line price. No hidden "disposal fees" or surprise charges on installation day. The price we say is the price you pay.
Our craftsmen arrive on time, respect your property, and follow strict manufacturer guidelines to protect your warranty.
We don't leave until you're thrilled. We walk the floor with you, explain care instructions, and ensure every trim piece is perfect.
We believe that getting a quote shouldn’t feel like a high-pressure sales pitch. Our “Honest Pricing” philosophy means we don’t inflate prices just to offer fake discounts. We give you our best price upfront, backed by education, not pressure.
When you book a consultation with us, you’re inviting a partner into your home, not a salesperson. We are here to help you navigate the technical details—like wear layers and Janka hardness ratings—so you can make a decision you feel good about. Let us show you why Boulder trusts us to get it done right.
As longtime Boulder residents, we’re particular about who we invite into our home. Right This Way exceeded every expectation—their environmental consciousness and attention to detail made them the perfect choice.”
