North Spokane's Hardwood Floor Restoration Experts
North Spokane — from the Five Mile Prairie's custom homes to Indian Trail's family neighborhoods to Shadle-Garland's mid-century classics — represents the heart of Spokane's residential character. These established neighborhoods are filled with homes built from the 1940s through the 1980s, many featuring solid hardwood floors that have stood the test of time but need professional restoration to look their best again.
At Selkirk Hardwood, we've worked extensively throughout the North Side, refinishing floors in Five Mile Prairie custom homes, restoring hidden hardwood under carpet in Shadle-area ranchers, and breathing new life into the oak and fir floors of Whitworth-area colonials. We know the North Side's housing stock — the thick old-growth fir planks in 1940s homes, the red oak strips in 1960s split-levels, and the carpet-covered hardwood waiting to be rediscovered in countless 1970s ranchers.

Can you restore original hardwood hidden under carpet in older North Side homes?
Yes — this is one of our most rewarding projects. Many 1950s–1970s North Spokane homes have beautiful hardwood floors hidden under carpet. We carefully remove carpet, pull staples, repair nail holes, and refinish the original wood. About 80% of these hidden floors are salvageable and look stunning after refinishing.
Do you work in the Five Mile Prairie and Indian Trail areas?
Absolutely. We serve all North Spokane neighborhoods including Five Mile Prairie, Indian Trail, Shadle-Garland, Whitworth, Mead, and the Wandermere area. No travel surcharges for any North Side location.
Are North Spokane homes with older hardwood floors worth refinishing?
Almost always yes. North Spokane's older homes often have solid hardwood that's 3/4-inch thick — enough for multiple refinishing cycles over decades. Refinishing costs 60–75% less than replacement and preserves the character of your original floors.
