Hardwood that suits Longmont homes
Longmont has a surprising amount of hardwood history. Many houses around Main Street and the older blocks west of it were built with oak floors that were later covered with carpet, and those boards are often still in good shape. Newer subdivisions toward Prospect and Ute Creek tend to have open floor plans on slab or crawlspace foundations, where engineered planks are usually the easier fit.
We look at your foundation, your sunlight, and how you actually live before suggesting a species. A sunny great room with a golden retriever needs a different answer than a quiet formal dining room.
Refinishing the floors you already own
If your house already has hardwood, refinishing is often the best value in the whole flooring world. We sand through old finish and surface scratches, repair damaged boards, match stain to what is in the rest of the house, and apply a durable coating. Floors that looked finished are frequently reborn, and you keep the character of the original wood.
Not every floor can be sanded forever, so we check board thickness and nail heads at your free visit. If refinishing is not the right call, we will tell you plainly. You can read more on our hardwood refinishing page.
What hardwood costs in Longmont
Installed engineered hardwood generally runs about $9 to $15 per square foot, and solid hardwood installed typically falls between $10 and $17 depending on species, plank width, and how much prep your subfloor needs. Refinishing existing floors usually costs a fraction of replacement, often in the $3 to $7 per square foot range.
These are honest ranges, not promises. Stairs, patterns like herringbone, and uneven subfloors move the number, so your free in-home measure gives the exact figure and it comes in writing before any work starts.
From first visit to final walkthrough
We start with our mobile design showroom in your living room, laying real samples next to your cabinets and trim. Then we measure, build a quote, and talk through timing. If you approve it, we schedule the job and handle moving furniture, removing the old floor, and preparing the subfloor.
Installation, trim, and cleanup follow, and we walk the finished floor with you before we leave. Within ten days we return to check that the floor is performing well, which is a step we never skip.

Our customers rate us 4.6 out of 5 across 83 Google reviews, which you can browse on the reviews page. The Floor Crafters guarantee backs the finished floor, and financing is available if you prefer to spread out the cost.
Species, widths, and finishes to consider
Oak remains the most requested wood in Longmont because it takes stain well and handles wear, but hickory, maple, and walnut each have fans. Wide planks feel modern and show fewer seams, while narrower boards look right in older homes. Engineered options, including engineered hardwood, let you get real-wood faces over a stable core.
Finish matters as much as species. A low-sheen finish hides dust and paw prints better than a glossy one, and a lighter stain can soften the contrast that strong Colorado sun creates on dark floors.
Caring for hardwood in a dry climate
Winter indoor humidity here can drop below 20 percent, and that is when boards shrink and thin gaps appear. A whole-home humidifier set around 35 to 45 percent keeps movement small, and those gaps typically close again in spring. Felt pads under furniture and a no-shoes rule at the door do more for your floor than any special product.
Sweep or vacuum with a soft head, wipe spills promptly, and clean with a product made for your finish rather than steam or soaking wet mops. Window film or rugs in the sunniest rooms help slow the UV color change that Front Range homes see.

Engineered is the safer choice over concrete slabs and in basements, while solid hardwood is a fine option over a wood subfloor on the main level. We check your foundation at the visit and recommend one.

Small seasonal gaps are normal in dry Colorado winters, and they usually close when humidity rises again. A humidifier keeps them minimal.
