How Homes & Customers Differ Across Snohomish County and the Eastside

Hey folks! This is Tim from A Team Hardwoods LLC.

Welcome to another Q&A session where I answer questions from you all on the internet.

Today's question is:

"How Homes & Customers Differ Across Snohomish County and the Eastside"

Summary:

Tim explains that the company works across Snohomish County, King County, and even up into Skagit County, though he tries to keep jobs within those three counties. The character of homes varies by area. In King County, particularly around Seattle, he encounters many older homes featuring top-nose strip flooring and antique-style floors, which he finds to be fun and rewarding projects. On the Eastside, he tends to see more exotic woods and newer engineered and hardwood flooring, often in nice houses with great views. Up in his own Snohomish County area, around Monroe, there is more laminate flooring. Ultimately, Tim notes that the right flooring really depends on what homeowners are expecting from their floors and homes, where they live, and what makes the most sense for their particular house, rather than a strict divide between regions.

Answer:

So actually we provide work in Snohomish County, King County, and even up to Skagit County. I've kind of lived all throughout Washington State, but I try to keep it within those three counties. The homeowners down in King County, you'll run into a lot more, but it really depends on the area. Seattle, it's fun, because you have a lot of older homes that have the top-nose strip, old fir, antique kind of floors, and those are always a fun project. On the Eastside you tend to get a lot more exotics, or newer flooring, engineered and hardwoods, all of that, and they have great views and nice houses. Up here in Snohomish County, same thing, the houses are nice, but there's a little more laminate floors up in my area, the Monroe area. But it just really depends on what they're expecting out of their floors and their homes, where they live, and what makes more sense to have in your house.
