About
At Fenix Hardwood Floor, we believe every floor tells a story—and ours begins with a deep passion for craftsmanship and a commitment to doing things right.
We got our start years ago working in the hardwood flooring industry under another company. Over time, we knew it was time to launch our own vision—focused on quality, honesty, and service that goes the extra mile. That’s how Fenix was born.
With over 15 years of experience, we specialize in residential hardwood flooring—handling everything from new installations and refinishing to demo and prep work. Whether it’s bringing old floors back to life or installing something completely new, we’re all about creating beautiful, lasting results.
We focus on continuous improvement—staying current with the latest techniques, finishes, and materials. We're proud to hold:
NWFA Certified Installer
Bona Certified Craftsman
NWFA Sand & Finish Certification (coming soon)
While our pricing is always competitive and fair, we don’t believe in blind quotes. Every home is different, and details like subfloors, layout, and materials make a big difference. That’s why we always prefer a face-to-face consultation to see the space and provide a personalized estimate.
At Fenix, we take pride in what we do—and nothing makes us happier than seeing a homeowner light up when the final result is revealed.

From our first exploration conversation with Ricardo to the close of the project, we had nothing but a fantastic experience with Fenix Floor Corp. Ricardo was extremely responsive, patient, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. I felt like I knew what was happening at each stage and why, as he patiently explained the ins and outs of the floorinstallation process to us. He also helped us understand other house enchancements that would better prolong the life and quality of our flooring, such as like crawl space clean up and moisture barriers and closing gaps beneath the floor. His team is quick and did a great job with installations. Our floor looks amazing and I am confident that the work behind it was high quality and thorough! We will definitely use Fenix again as we update other parts of our house and highly recommend them!

Ricardo is a consummate professional and a wonderful person to work with. He has always gone above and beyond to get the job done the right way, not necessarily the easiest way. His best quality is that he asks questions and raises issues before they arise, allowing you to plan ahead. I can't overstate how important this is in the real estate and construction world. Lastly, his crew, always polite and they all clean up after their work which is another thing that is hard to find. Ricardo will be doing all my floor work from now on.

Excellent Experience from Start to Finish
We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Fenix. From the very beginning, they stood out by providing a clear and competitive quote, showing transparency and professionalism right off the bat.
The quality of their work truly speaks for itself. The team was respectful, and incredibly skilled — every detail of the wood flooring was handled with care and precision. It’s clear these are seasoned professionals who take pride in their craft.
The end result is absolutely stunning. Our floors have completely transformed the space and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Fenix to anyone looking for high-quality workmanship and a stress-free experience. Truly a top-tier team!
