No pressure, just honest advice.
In 1946, brothers Tom and Lloyd Nielsen opened a small flooring store in Ballard with a mission to provide quality products, honest services and fair prices to Greater Seattle families. 80 years later, these same values guide our work. Led by third-generation owner Mike Nielsen, our family business continues to serve the area with the same integrity, craftsmanship and personal attention we’ve built our reputation on over eight decades.
In our Lynnwood showroom, you’ll find a collection of carpet, hardwood, luxury vinyl, laminate and tile made for Pacific Northwest homes. Rather than overwhelming you, we show you products that perform in our climate, fit your lifestyle and match your budget.
Our owner takes care of every consultation and measurement so you get guidance from someone who’s been in the industry his whole life. Many of our experienced installers have worked with us for 20+ years so your home is always treated with respect and you get the precise craftsmanship backed by our lifetime guarantee each time. Our goal is to make your flooring experience straightforward and enjoyable.
Our core values have guided us since 1946:
These principles have allowed the Nielsen family to build relationships and stay in business over three generations. From your first showroom visit to installation day and beyond, you’ll experience what it’s like to work with a company that truly cares.
Carpet offers warmth, comfort and sound absorption, making it a staple of bedrooms, living rooms and stairs throughout Pacific Northwest homes. We offer many colors, textures and performance fibers, ranging from plush comfort to durable family-friendly options. Additionally, premium padding is included with every carpet installation.
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) looks like hardwood, but is waterproof. It stands up to moisture, scratches, pet accidents and daily wear, which is perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, basements and family rooms. Available in many colors and textures, it fits in with both modern and traditional interiors.
A staple of forever homes and the best way to add lasting value, hardwood flooring is available in solid and engineered options. Choose from options with rich character, refined grain patterns and durable finishes. There’s also several species that range from classic oak and elegant maple to more exotic species like Brazilian cherry.
Get hardwood on a budget with laminate flooring. Modern laminate offers a realistic appearance, scratch resistance and easy maintenance. It’s ideal for busy homes, rental properties or anyone who wants a beautiful floor without the investment that comes with hardwood. It’s made from compressed wood fibers and resin.
Tile is made for the Greater Seattle area. It conquers moisture and offers endless design possibilities. Choose from porcelain, ceramic, natural stone and specialty tiles for bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, mudrooms and commercial applications. Classic subway tile and large-format options have no issue with water, humidity or heavy foot traffic.
01
Start your journey by checking out samples in our Lynnwood showroom. We will help you understand colors, textures and performance differences. You can also take samples home to see how they look in your space. There’s no pressure here, just expert guidance.
02
Our owner will personally visit your home to measure your space, assess your subfloor and discuss your project needs. You’ll get a straightforward quote that includes materials, labor, floor prep and finishing touches. We also provide realistic timelines and answer all your questions.
03
Our installers have been with us for over 20 years. They clearly communicate, protect your home and take pride in precise workmanship. Residential projects are completed in a day or two and you’ll know who’s coming to your home will get the job done right.
04
After your floors are installed, our owner will walk you through your home to ensure everything is up to standard. You’ll get care tips and the peace of mind that comes with our lifetime installation guarantee. Call us any time as our commitment doesn’t after installation day.
Our crews with over 20 years of experience will install carpet, hardwood, luxury vinyl, laminate and tile. We also take care of subfloor assessment, moisture checks, acclimation, power-stretching, leveling and finishing touches. We also back our projects with a lifetime guarantee and trusted professionals passionate about their craft.
Stairs installation requires precision, attention to detail and years of experience. Our team customizes nosings, treads, risers and transitions for a safe, cohesive look that suits your home. Classic carpet runners with premium padding, elegant hardwood and modern luxury vinyl are all available.
Flooring should go with the rest of your home. Our team will work with you to choose an option that aligns with your lighting, existing decor, how you use the space and overall feel you’re going for. A curated shortlist will help you make a confident decision without feeling overwhelmed.
We safely remove and dispose of all flooring types. Removing old flooring not only preps your space for your new floors, but also lets you discover what’s happening underneath like moisture issues, subfloor damage or leveling needs.
If you want your flooring installation to last, you’ll benefit from our leveling service. This is essential in older homes where settling or moisture have created uneven surfaces. We do it all: subfloor repair, self-leveling compounds, moisture mitigation and the necessary prep work for a stable foundation.
Give your hardwood a brand new look with professional floor staining. Our team will help choose stain colors that work with your home’s style, prep the wood though sanding and apply stain evenly for a rich, consistent finish.
Breathe new life into your hardwood flooring. Professional sanding and refinishing will remove scratches and stains. We also offer the option of changing stain colors and applying protective topcoats that stand up to daily life.
Flooring stores carry similar products, but what sets Nielsen Brothers apart is what happens after you make your choice. We’ve been serving Lynnwood and Greater Seattle for over 80 years and have built our reputation on being there for you throughout the process and beyond. Here’s what makes us different.
Third-generation owner, Mike Nielsen, handles every consultation and measurement. Rather than working with a sales associate on commission, you get someone whose family reputation is based on your satisfaction. He understands construction, challenges of living in the Pacific Northwest and how to deliver quality that lasts.
Our team isn’t a random group of subcontractors. These skilled flooring professionals have worked with us for 20 years and treat your home with respect, provide precise workmanship and deliver the quality that lets us offer a lifetime installation guarantee.
Our lifetime installation guarantee covers workmanship for as long as you own your home. Carpet need restretching or transition need securing? Give us a call as there’s no expiration or fine print, just accountability.
Premium padding comes standard with all carpet installations. Quality cushion is essential for comfort, durability and proper installation so we include it because it’s part of doing business the right way.
From empty nesters to families and first-time buyers, our goal is to make your home feel like yours with flooring you love. Homeowners value our honest guidance, crews that care about their home and the trust we offer through recommending the right fit, not the most profitable sale.
Parents know their floors face daily tests: kids tracking in mud, pet accidents and spills happen in a matter of seconds. “Waterproof” and “family-friendly” aren’t just buzz words, they’re essential. We help you weigh durability against budget, style against practicality and choices that won’t make you cringe when the inevitable happens.
Schools, churches, business owners and property managers require reliability. They choose us because we respond promptly, provide accurate timelines and send crews who complete jobs without drama or delays. We’ve floored community centers, nonprofits, rental properties and commercial spaces throughout Lynnwood and the Greater Seattle area.
Being around for 80 years wasn’t luck. It’s a result of treating every customer right, standing behind our work and building relationships that span generations. Don’t believe us? Here’s what our customers have to say:
EXCELLENT Based on 8 reviews Posted on Ron SemanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our new carpet was installed about 1 1/2 years ago. My wife and I enjoyed the experience of selecting a new carpet at Nielsen Bros Flooring. We were respected and treated well by the store employees and owner. Recommendations were made by the store and after careful consideration a selection was made. We were pleased with the installation and after all this time are pleased with the carpet choice we made.Posted on Gary AlbertTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had numerous bedrooms and family room done with Nielsen Bros in the past 40 years. They always delivered a great product at a fair price and did outstanding work. The last installation was for three bedrooms and the master bedroom. They laid out the master bedroom with ONE piece of carpet that covered the bedroom and the walk-in clothes closet too to eliminate seems. Thoughtful planning and a great benefit to us.Posted on torsten welteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very expensive and sales guy did proposal with higher grade bamboo and at time of contracting (with time crunsh) sold low grade for the higher pricePosted on Christine JordanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike in the store is a knowledgeable and helpful professional, but a special shoutout goes to Gus and his helper on the installation of the carpet. Thank you all.Posted on jamie NguyenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bought our carpet from here last fall. Great selection in many styles and qualities of carpet. We bought a high end carpet and couldn't find a cheaper price when we shopped around. They let us take their big samples home for a few days and the timeliness and installation were fantastic! Also appreciated their no pressure sales team.Posted on George McKayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love the new floors! Great product and install.
