Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during an in-home consultation?

Our owner, Mike Nielsen, will personally visit your home to measure your space, assess your subfloor and discuss your project needs. He will answer your questions, explain any prep work needed and provide a detailed, transparent quote with no charge or obligation. Feel free to take samples home from our showroom to check out how they look in your lighting before coming to a final decision. 

How do I know what flooring is right for my home?

The right flooring depends on your lifestyle, your space and how you live. Have kids and pets? An older Pacific Northwest home with subfloor considerations? Planning to stay forever or getting ready to sell? We’ll ask the right questions and walk you through your options whether that’s carpet with premium padding, waterproof luxury vinyl, solid hardwood or tile. Our goal is to help you find flooring that suits your home, style and budget without any pressure.

Do you offer warranties or guarantees?

We do. Every Nielsen Brothers Flooring installation is backed by our lifetime installation guarantee. We stand behind our workmanship as long as you own your home. Need a carpet restretch five years later? A transition tacked down? Call us and we’ll help since there’s no expiration date or fine print.

How much will new floors cost me?

The price varies based on the materials you choose, the size of your space and if prep work like leveling or subfloor repair is needed. The good news? Our detailed estimates include everything: materials, labor, floor prep and finishing touches.

How should I get ready for installation day?

We walk you through the process. Generally, you should clear the room of small or breakable items. Our installers move furniture as part of the installation process. If your old flooring needs to be removed, we take care of that too. We’ll give you a clear prep checklist before installation so you know what to expect. 

What makes Nielsen Brothers different from other flooring companies?

We’re a third-generation, family-owned business that’s been serving Seattle since 1946. Our owner, Mike, personally handles every measurement and quote. Our installers aren’t random subcontractors and have been working with us for over 20 years.

Is padding included with carpet installation?

With us, yes. Premium padding is standard with every carpet installation—no upselling or add-on fees. We believe quality padding is essential for comfort, durability and the longevity of your carpet so it’s included. That’s how we do business the right way.

How long does flooring installation usually take?

Residential carpet installations can generally be completed in one to two days. Hard surface installations such as hardwood, luxury vinyl or tile timelines vary based on the size of the space and complexity of the project. You’ll get a realistic timeline so you can plan accordingly. Our team works efficiently to maintain the quality standards we’re known for.

Which areas do you serve?

We proudly serve the Greater Seattle area, including Lynnwood, Edmonds, Seattle, Shoreline, Richmond Beach, Mountlake Terrace, Bothell, Kirkland, Bellevue, Redmond and surrounding communities throughout King and Snohomish Counties.

Do you handle floor preparation and leveling?

Yes. Proper floor prep is critical, especially in the Pacific Northwest. We take care of subfloor repair, self-leveling, moisture mitigation and the necessary prep work to get your flooring installed correctly. Your subfloor will be assessed during your in-home consultation and included in your quote.

Can you work on commercial projects?

Of course! We’ve installed flooring for schools, churches, retail spaces, multifamily properties and community centers throughout the Greater Seattle area. We understand the importance of timelines, minimal disruption and reliable communication for commercial clients.
