Your Trusted Gig Harbor Hardwood Flooring Experts
For Gig Harbor homeowners, DS Hardwood Flooring is a trusted local source for hardwood floor installation, dustless refinishing, and repair. A waterfront Maritime City set on a sheltered harbor of Puget Sound, just across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge from Tacoma, with roots as a commercial fishing and boat-building village. With a population of roughly 12,494, it's a community we're proud to serve.
A mix of charming older waterfront homes near the historic harbor and newer custom and master-planned homes built as the city expanded west toward State Route 16. We work throughout the area — from Historic Downtown Waterfront, Peacock Hill, Point Fosdick and Harbor Hill — matching each project to the age and character of your home. Many Gig Harbor floors can be revived through refinishing instead of replaced, and because the Puget Sound climate is consistently damp, we pay close attention to acclimation, subfloor moisture, and finish durability on every job.

Hardwood Flooring in Gig Harbor
Gig Harbor's split personality shapes every flooring decision. Down by the historic downtown waterfront, older homes sit close to a sheltered arm of Puget Sound, where salt air and seasonal humidity swings keep relative humidity high year-round. There, acclimating boards on-site for a week or more, sealing crawlspace subfloors, and choosing engineered hardwood (or a stable species like white oak) reduces the cupping and gapping that plague waterfront installs. Up on Peacock Hill, Point Fosdick, and the newer Harbor Hill developments toward State Route 16, you're usually working with current-code subfloors and open-concept layouts that suit wide-plank, large-area runs and prefinished engineered floors over slab or plywood. We always test subfloor moisture before laying anything near the harbor, and we recommend matte or satin finishes that hide the fine grit tracked in from a maritime, boat-building town.
Gig Harbor Flooring Considerations
- Salt air and harbor humidity demand longer acclimation and moisture-tested subfloors
- Newer Harbor Hill and Peacock Hill homes suit wide-plank engineered installs
- Engineered or stable white oak resists cupping in waterfront downtown homes
