Meet Your Local Hardwood Flooring Experts
Lakewood sits right at the edge of the Rocky Mountain foothills, and it is the kind of city where people genuinely love where they live. From mid-century ranches in Morse Park to newer homes near Green Mountain and Belmar, the neighborhoods here have real character, and the floors inside those homes should match.
Tongue & Groove has been serving the greater Denver metro since 2007. We started during one of the toughest economic periods in recent history and grew by doing things the right way: honest advice, quality materials, and craftsmanship that holds up over time. Our gallery-style showroom welcomes homeowners, builders, designers, and architects who want more than a transaction. They want a partner they can trust.
Colorado’s climate is demanding on wood floors. The elevation, the dry winters, the summer humidity shifts — all of it matters when choosing and installing hardwood. We know this terrain well, and we put that knowledge to work on every project we take on.
Come visit our showroom and see what is possible for your home.
Wood & Laminate Flooring Supplier: Our Full Collection
Solid Hardwood Floors
Solid hardwood is the gold standard for a reason. Every plank is cut from a single piece of natural wood, giving each floor a warmth and authenticity that cannot be faked. For Colorado homes, we typically recommend narrower plank widths that move less with the seasons. For those who love a wide-plank look, we carry options kiln-dried at altitude, built specifically for stability in this climate.
Engineered Hardwood Floors
Engineered hardwood is one of the most practical choices for Colorado living. A real wood surface sits over a highly stable core, making it far less susceptible to the humidity swings that come with mountain weather. It works beautifully above grade, at grade, and in finished lower levels, making it a versatile fit for a wide range of homes.
Reclaimed Wood Floors
Antique reclaimed wood comes from structures at least 100 years old, including old barns, factories, and historic buildings. Beyond its distinctive character, reclaimed wood is naturally more stable than newly milled lumber and brings a story into your home that no modern material can replicate.
Prefinished Hardwood Floors
If your schedule does not allow for extended installation time, prefinished hardwood is a smart choice. The finish is applied at the factory under controlled conditions, which means faster installation, less household disruption, and an exceptionally durable surface right from the start.
Unfinished Hardwood Floors
For homeowners who want complete creative control, unfinished hardwood is the answer. Choose from domestic favorites like White Oak, Walnut, Maple, Hickory, and Cherry, or explore exotic imported species. All sanding, staining, and finishing is done on-site in your home, so the final result is entirely your own.
Wood-Look Vinyl and Laminate Floors
Not every room needs solid hardwood, and that is perfectly fine. Our laminate and wood-look vinyl options deliver the visual warmth of real wood at a more accessible price point. Built on a durable high-density fibreboard core, they handle everyday wear, pet traffic, and Colorado's dry air without complaint. A great fit for living rooms, hallways, bedrooms, and investment properties.

Our Hardwood Flooring Contractor Services
Wood Floor Installation Services
Our installation team works across new construction and renovation projects of all sizes. From single rooms to whole-home installs, we handle site-finished and prefinished, solid and engineered hardwood with equal precision.
Wood Floor Refinishing Service
Many older homes in the Jefferson County area still have original hardwood underneath carpet or worn-out finishes, and those floors often have decades of life left in them. Our refinishing service uses dust containment systems to sand and refinish with minimal mess. We work with oil-modified polyurethanes, zero-VOC penetrating oil finishes, and UV-cured finishes depending on your needs and preferences.
Wood Floor Finish Maintenance
A screen and recoat is one of the most affordable ways to refresh your floors without a full refinish. We offer both physical and chemical recoating options tailored to your existing finish, helping you protect your floors and keep them looking their best for longer.
Wood Floor Repair and Extension
Whether a section of your floor has been damaged by moisture, a past renovation, or years of normal wear, we can repair or replace individual boards and blend them seamlessly with the surrounding floor. We also extend existing hardwood into adjacent rooms, matching species, stain, and finish with a level of precision that is difficult to spot.

Lakewood Hardwood Flooring FAQs
Questions? We have answers!
Can original hardwood floors from older homes be restored rather than replaced?
In most cases, yes. Homes built between the 1960s and 1980s often have original hardwood that is thicker than modern boards and still has multiple refinishing cycles left in it. Our team will assess the condition of the wood, check for any structural concerns, and give you an honest picture of what is possible. A quality sand and refinish can make floors from that era look genuinely beautiful again.
How does Colorado's climate affect hardwood floors over time?
Colorado’s dry winters and warm, occasionally humid summers create a cycle of expansion and contraction that affects all wood floors. Keeping indoor humidity between 35 and 55 percent year-round goes a long way toward protecting your investment. Species selection, plank width, and construction type also play a role, and we will guide you toward the options that hold up best in this specific climate.
Is hardwood flooring worth the investment in today's housing market?
Hardwood floors consistently rank among the most desirable features for home buyers and tend to deliver strong returns at resale. Beyond the numbers, there is the daily experience of living with a floor that looks and feels genuinely premium. For most homeowners, the investment pays off in both lifestyle and long-term value.
What flooring works best in an open floor plan?
Open floor plans that flow from living to dining to kitchen need a floor that reads consistently across a large space. Wide-plank engineered hardwood is often the strongest choice here because its stable core handles variation across a broad surface without developing gaps or inconsistencies. We can help you choose a species and finish that ties the whole space together beautifully.
