Verify Wills Flooring with Washington L&I ↗Two decisions, made clearly
Choose your wood construction.
Then choose the finish.
Solid and engineered describe how a board is made. Prefinished and site-finished describe when its protective finish is applied. Understanding that difference makes it easier to compare products and quotes.
Engineered hardwood
A real-wood surface over a layered core. Its construction offers greater dimensional stability, with product-specific options for concrete and other subfloors. Check wear-layer thickness and refinishing limitations.
Prefinished hardwood
The protective finish is applied at the factory. This avoids on-site sanding and coating of new boards, though cutting and preparation still create dust. Adhesive and installation requirements determine when you can use the room.
Unfinished & site-finished hardwood
Installed first, then sanded and finished in your home. Choose a natural look or a custom stain, with samples reviewed before finishing. Allow time for the finishing process and the specified cure schedule.
Find the look that feels like home
Warm tones. Natural grain. Your style.
Explore imagery from our existing collection. Compare oak, maple, cherry and other species, from clean contemporary boards to reclaimed character and distressed textures.
Swipe, scroll or use the arrows to explore. Reclaimed wood and distressed finishes are different: one reuses older material, while the other creates a textured appearance. For imported species such as Brazilian cherry, mahogany or teak, review sourcing, product instructions and care needs.
The method follows the material
Nail down, glue down or floating?
The right method depends on the flooring product, subfloor and room. We explain the proposed system so you can compare installation quotes on the same basis.
Nail or staple down
Fasteners secure compatible flooring to a suitable wood subfloor. The product determines the fastener type, spacing and whether adhesive assistance is required.
Glue down
An approved adhesive bonds the flooring to the prepared substrate. Product compatibility, moisture requirements and adhesive application are part of the installation plan.
Floating engineered wood
Approved boards connect to one another above a suitable underlayment. Perimeter clearances, transitions and restrictions around fixed cabinetry must follow the product instructions.
Good preparation protects the result
Moisture and acclimation come before installation.
Wood responds to its surroundings. Installation readiness depends on the selected product, the subfloor and the indoor conditions where the floor will be used.
We plan acclimation around the manufacturer’s instructions and moisture checks. A fixed three-day wait is not a substitute for evaluating readiness. Keep the home’s normal heating and cooling conditions established before material delivery.
Subfloor preparation also matters: an underlayment does not replace needed repairs or flattening. Discuss squeaks, uneven areas, crawlspace concerns and slab moisture during the estimate.
A clear path to your new floor
How your hardwood installation works
From the first sample to the final walk-through, know what happens next and which details are included.
Meet, measure & compare
We bring samples to your home, measure the rooms and discuss your preferred look, budget and timing. Share details about stairs, pets and existing floors.
Confirm material & scope
Choose solid or engineered wood, the finish and installation method. Review ordering quantities, matching trim, removal, preparation and the written estimate.
Prepare the space
The agreed work may include removing old flooring, correcting subfloor issues and planning transitions. New subflooring is included only where the assessment and estimate call for it.
Check readiness to install
Review jobsite conditions, moisture requirements and product-specific acclimation. Delivery and installation are coordinated with the home’s normal indoor conditions.
Install & finish the details
We lay out and fit the flooring, then complete specified transitions and trim. Site-finished wood also receives the agreed sanding, color and finish process.
Clean up & walk through
Review the finished work, cleanup and care instructions. Confirm when furniture and rugs can return, and keep product information and spare boards for future needs.
Understand the full project price
Hardwood floor installation cost
Our published starting labor rate for solid and engineered hardwood is $3.25 per square foot, with a 500-square-foot minimum. Materials and project-specific extras are quoted separately.
For example, 500 square feet at that starting rate equals $1,625 in installation labor. This is a calculation of base labor, not a complete installed-floor price.
The price list also includes unfinished hardwood labor from $2.75 per square foot. Confirm sanding, staining and finishing as separate scope items when comparing a site-finished project.

Details that make the floor feel complete
Coordinate rooms, stairs and existing hardwood.
Review board direction, visible transitions, door clearances and the finished height beside other surfaces. Stairs need their own treads, nosing and installation details.
If you are extending an existing wood floor, compare species, width, thickness, grade and finish. New wood can look different from aged boards; a larger finishing area may help blend suitable site-finished floors.
Consider the floor you already have
Could refinishing be the better choice?
If existing hardwood is structurally sound and has enough usable wood, restoring it may be worth comparing with replacement. Condition and the change you want determine the options.
Compare hardwood refinishing →A new floor can improve the appearance of a home, but a particular resale return cannot be guaranteed.
Built for everyday living
Enjoy the character. Know how to care for it.
Regular dry cleaning, prompt spill cleanup and a cleaner approved for the finish help protect hardwood. Use suitable furniture pads and avoid wet or steam mopping. No wood floor is scratch-proof, so discuss pets, children and daily wear when choosing the surface.
We review care and return-to-use instructions at completion. Keep the product details and written workmanship warranty together for future reference.

We handle everything: old-floor removal, subfloor repair, furniture moving, moisture-barrier installation, precise hardwood placement, trim work, and thorough cleanup. Our Whidbey Island flooring experts provide clear communication, high-quality materials, and clean professional results that last for decades.
Solid Hardwood
Solid hardwood flooring is crafted from a single piece of natural wood, providing exceptional durability, beauty, and a classic look that never goes out of style. Because it can be sanded and refinished multiple times, it’s a lasting choice for any home. With options in various wood species and finishes, solid hardwood enhances any room with warmth and elegance, while also boosting property value.
Engineered Hardwood
Engineered hardwood flooring consists of multiple layers of wood with a top layer of real hardwood, giving it the authentic look of natural wood. This layered construction makes it more resistant to moisture and temperature changes, offering enhanced stability compared to solid hardwood. Engineered hardwood combines the beauty of real wood with durability, making it a versatile choice suited to various home environments.
Unfinished Hardwood
Unfinished hardwood floors come as raw wood planks that are installed and then sanded, stained, and finished right in your home. This process allows for full customization of stain color and finish, providing a tailored look that perfectly complements your home’s style. Unfinished hardwood creates a seamless, uniform appearance, making it ideal for achieving a truly custom floor finish.
Vinyl Plank (LVP)
Vinyl plank flooring (LVP) is a tough, water-resistant choice that replicates the look of natural wood or stone. Its multi-layer design adds resilience, making it perfect for high-traffic areas and rooms prone to moisture, such as kitchens and bathrooms. Simple to install and maintain, LVP combines the aesthetic appeal of traditional flooring with extra durability and a budget-friendly price.
Laminate
Laminate flooring is an affordable and durable alternative to hardwood, crafted from composite materials with a photographic layer that realistically imitates wood, stone, or tile. It’s scratch-resistant, easy to install, and requires minimal upkeep, making it a favorite for busy households. Laminate is an excellent choice for achieving a stylish, high-end look without the premium price tag.
Cork
Cork flooring is an environmentally friendly choice crafted from the bark of cork oak trees, providing a soft, cushioned feel underfoot. Naturally insulating and sound-absorbing, cork is also resistant to mold, mildew, and pests. Highly durable, cork flooring is both a comfortable and sustainable option, suitable for residential and commercial spaces alike.

Hardwood installation questions, answered
How much does it cost to install hardwood floors on Whidbey Island, WA?
For Whidbey Island homes, Wills Flooring lists solid and engineered hardwood installation labor from $3.25 per square foot, with a 500-square-foot minimum on the published offer. Flooring materials and project-specific preparation or extras are separate. Whether your home is in Oak Harbor, Coupeville or Langley, we measure the project in person and provide an itemized estimate with the applicable rate and inclusions.
Is engineered or solid hardwood better for a Whidbey Island home?
Both have a real-wood surface. Solid hardwood offers one-piece construction and can be refinished multiple times, while engineered hardwood has a layered core that generally moves less and provides extra stability for Whidbey Island’s humidity changes and coastal moisture conditions. The best choice depends on the room, subfloor, width, moisture conditions and your long-term refinishing goals.
Can hardwood be installed over a concrete slab in a Whidbey Island house?
Some engineered products are approved for concrete using a specified glue-down or floating system. The slab needs suitable preparation and moisture testing, with any required moisture-control system. Our Whidbey Island installation specialists include proper subfloor preparation and moisture-barrier protection when the estimate calls for it. Do not assume that a product approved for a wood subfloor is also approved directly over concrete.
How long should hardwood acclimate before installation on Whidbey Island?
There is no universal three-day rule. Follow the instructions for the specific flooring and evaluate indoor conditions, subfloor moisture and the wood itself. Because Whidbey Island homes see humidity changes, keep the home’s normal heating and cooling established before delivery so readiness can be confirmed indoors. A calendar alone does not establish that a floor is ready to install.
Do wide white-oak planks in Whidbey Island homes need glue and nails?
It depends on the product. Some wide-plank floors require or allow adhesive assistance with mechanical fastening; others use a different approved method. White oak and maple are popular choices for Whidbey Island homes, so ask the installer to identify the product instructions and explain the proposed adhesive, fastening and moisture-control system in the quote.
Which Whidbey Island communities does Wills Flooring serve for hardwood installation?
We install hardwood across Whidbey Island, including Oak Harbor, Coupeville, Clinton, Langley, Freeland, Greenbank, Maxwelton and Bayview. With more than a decade of installation experience and 100+ five-star Google reviews, our family-owned team works from the Everett showroom and brings samples to your Whidbey Island home for a free in-home estimate.
Can new hardwood match my existing floors?
We compare species, board width, thickness, grade, color and sheen. Age and sunlight can affect the existing floor, so an exact match is not guaranteed. For suitable site-finished wood, tying in new boards and refinishing a larger connected area may create a more consistent appearance.
Do I have to buy the flooring from Wills Flooring?
You can choose your own materials. We also help you compare samples and supplier options. Before purchasing, confirm the product, quantities, installation requirements and matching transitions with us so the flooring suits the project.
Is engineered hardwood waterproof?
Do not assume that it is. Engineered construction improves dimensional stability but does not by itself make a floor waterproof. Check the specific product’s exposure limits and warranty, and address spills and moisture promptly.
Can you install wood flooring on stairs?
Yes, stair flooring is assessed and quoted separately. Treads, risers, nosing and landings need suitable components and attachment details. We can coordinate the appearance with adjoining hardwood; railing or structural changes require a separately defined scope.
How long does installation take, and can I stay home?
Timing depends on floor area, demolition, preparation, material readiness, installation method and finishing. Discuss room access, furniture, pets and daily routes before work begins. Prefinished and site-finished floors have different return-to-use requirements, so ask for a schedule for your actual project.
What warranty comes with installation?
Wills Flooring advertises a one-year workmanship warranty. Ask for its written coverage, exclusions and claim process with your estimate. Product warranties come from the manufacturer and have their own installation, indoor-climate and maintenance requirements.
Should I replace my hardwood or refinish it?
If the existing wood is sound and has enough usable thickness, refinishing may be worth comparing with replacement. Replacement may suit a change of material, extensive damage or a floor that cannot be restored. We can review the condition before you choose.
