Your Trusted Kent Hardwood Flooring Experts
Homeowners throughout Kent rely on DS Hardwood Flooring for professional hardwood floor installation, refinishing, and repair built to last. Located in the heart of the Green River Valley between Seattle and Tacoma; one of Washington's largest cities, it grew from rich farmland once prone to river flooding. With a population of roughly 136,588, it's a community we're proud to serve.
Neighborhoods like Scenic Hill feature mid-century and modern single-family homes, with former farmland in the valley redeveloped into housing and industry after 1960s flood control. We work throughout the area — from Scenic Hill, Riverview, East Hill and Downtown Kent — matching each project to the age and character of your home. Whether your floors need refinishing or a fresh install, the region's wet winters mean moisture control and proper acclimation matter — something we've refined over 15+ years serving King County homes.

Hardwood Flooring in Kent
Kent divides between the valley floor and the hills. Down in the Green River Valley, former farmland was redeveloped for housing and industry after 1960s flood control, and much of that newer construction sits slab-on-grade on what was once low, wet ground. For those homes we recommend engineered hardwood glued or floated over concrete, always with a proper vapor barrier and moisture testing first, because the valley still holds groundwater close to the surface. Up on Scenic Hill and East Hill, the mid-century and more modern single-family homes give us firmer, drier subfloors where solid hardwood performs well, and many older Scenic Hill houses have original floors worth refinishing rather than replacing. Across the city we acclimate wood on site through Puget Sound's damp season and choose durable finishes, since the open-plan layouts common in these homes mean the floor takes daily, whole-family wear.
Kent Flooring Considerations
- Valley-floor slab homes favor engineered wood with a vapor barrier
- Reclaimed farmland keeps groundwater high, so test moisture before installing
- Scenic Hill and East Hill homes give drier subfloors for solid hardwood

How much does hardwood floor refinishing cost in Kent?
Hardwood floor refinishing in Kent typically runs $3-$8 per square foot, depending on the condition of the floor, the species, your stain and finish choices, and how much repair is needed first. We refinish floors throughout Kent, including Scenic Hill, Riverview and East Hill, and provide free, written estimates so you know the cost up front.
Do you install hardwood floors in Kent?
Yes. DS Hardwood Flooring installs solid hardwood, engineered wood, and exotic species throughout Kent and King County (ZIP codes 98030, 98031, 98032, 98042, 98064 and 98089). Given the area's neighborhoods like Scenic Hill feature mid-century and modern single-family homes, with former farmland in the valley redeveloped into housing and industry after 1960s flood control, we help match new flooring to the character of your home.
How long does hardwood floor refinishing take in Kent?
Most Kent refinishing projects take about 3-5 days, covering sanding, any staining, and multiple finish coats with proper dry time. Because the King County climate stays damp, we allow adequate cure time and use dustless sanding to keep your home clean throughout.
Can you repair water-damaged or squeaky hardwood floors in Kent?
Absolutely. We repair water damage, squeaks, scratches, gaps, and worn boards for Kent homeowners, often blending repairs into the existing floor so a full replacement isn't necessary. In a waterside community like Kent, we pay particular attention to moisture-related damage.
