Welcome to Tongue & Groove
Tongue & Groove believes that every plank has a story and it’s our job to tell it. Since 2007, we have been helping Colorado homeowners, builders, designers and architects choose the best hardwood floors in Denver on the market. From solid and engineered to prefinished and site-finished hardwood, we will guide you through the process with real education, real craftsmanship and real integrity.
Think of our Denver wood flooring showroom as a hub for discovery. We don’t use pushy sales tactics. Instead, our seasoned experts help you find the product that’s right for your climate, space and story. Between curated reclaimed wood and custom site-finished floors, our hardwood is as durable as the relationships we build.
About Tongue & Groove
Our History
Tongue & Groove was born in 2007 shortly before the housing crash. Believe it or not—the idea came from someone in the technology and consulting world craving something tangible and lasting. When owner, Christopher Keale, started his hardwood flooring company, he faced an uphill battle through a difficult recession. However, over time, his store went on to become one of Denver’s most trusted names in wood flooring.
This transformation didn’t happen overnight. It was built out from a clear vision, a talented team and commitment to creating a better, more informed experience for homeowners and builders. Our name, “Tongue and Groove” references the joinery used in hardwood floors. However, it’s also a symbol of connection, friendship and tradition.
We’ve developed deep partnerships with custom home builders, architects, interior designers, and homeowners. To support this mission, we introduced our free Wood Floors 101 course, an honest guide to professional results. Today, giving customers floors they’ll love now and decades from now is our top priority.
What Makes us Different
A Guide You Can Trust
The hardwood flooring industry is full of misinformation—that’s where we stand out. Our team leads with education and doesn’t just sell you flooring. We also help you find the hardwood that suits your home, climate and lifestyle.
Expertise Built for Colorado
Dry winters, radiant heat and low humidity—those are some of the ways to describe Colorado! Wood behaves differently in Colorado than it does it in coastal or humid climates. With decades of local experience, we can help you find floors that are beautiful and built to last.
Craftsmanship Without Compromise
We are not a company that’s constantly pushing out sales. We are a white-glove hardwood flooring company with a dedicated team of professional installers. Detail, preparation and clean execution are at the forefront of everything we do.
Prefinished and Site-Finished Specialists
Plenty of flooring companies offer either prefinished or site-finished hardwood solutions. However, rarely are they experts about both—we are. Even fewer can source and install true reclaimed wood with architectural integrity like we do.
Our Hardwood Knowledge, Shared Freely
Our free online Wood Floors 101 is at the cornerstone of everything we do. Whether you’re a first time homeowner or seasoned builder, we offer unbiased information so you can avoid costly mistakes and make confident decisions.
Our Values
Tongue & Groove is guided by our values. The following are present in every project and conversation:
Trust & Respect:
Honest communication, mutual respect and doing what we say we’re going to do always come first. This applies to our clients, our partners and our team.
Craftsmanship & Care:
Each floor is a reflection of our commitment to quality. Details are everything to us so they don't have to be to you.
Efficiency & Communication:
From the moment you walk into our showroom, you’ll see we follow a system-driven process that reduces friction, keeps timelines on track and keeps you in the loop.
Stewardship:
The source of our work, wood, matters to us. That’s why sustainable practices, reclaimed materials and enduring products that reflect our values come first.
