Hardwood Flooring In Cheney, WA
Cheney is a college town about sixteen miles southwest of Spokane, and its housing tells two stories. Near Eastern Washington University you'll find older homes and long-standing rentals, many with original wood under the carpet. Out toward the edges, newer construction keeps going up. We work both ends of that range, from reviving floors that have been down for decades to installing new hardwood in a house that's barely a year old.

Why Prep Comes First In Cheney
Older Cheney homes often hide solid-wood floors worth saving. Wood from the early-to-mid 1900s is denser than most of what the lumberyard sells today, so sanding it back and refinishing usually beats tearing it out. New builds are a different job: we test the subfloor, let the boards acclimate to Eastern Washington's dry indoor air, and lay a proper moisture barrier so the floor doesn't move once the heat runs all winter.

Common Questions About Flooring In Cheney
-
Is it worth restoring an old floor in a Cheney home instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. Floors in older Cheney houses near campus are frequently solid wood, and wood milled decades ago is denser than today's stock. If the boards are structurally sound, sanding back to bare wood and refinishing usually costs less than replacement and keeps the original character. We'll tell you straight at the estimate if a floor's too far gone.
-
Do you work on rentals and student housing in Cheney?
We do. A lot of Cheney's older stock near EWU is rented, and landlords call us for floors that need to look good and take abuse between tenants. Refinishing a hardwood floor often outlasts new carpet several times over, which is why owners of multi-unit properties tend to go that route.
-

About sixteen miles southwest, roughly a half-hour drive from our Division Street location. We cover Cheney on the same terms as the rest of the Spokane area, with no distance surcharge. Estimates are free and in-home, so we measure the actual floor before quoting anything.
