Why Valley Hardwood
Six reasons homeowners choose us
Experience
Hardwood is part science, part art. As a second-generation hardwood flooring business, we have the experience needed to deliver professionally installed, and beautifully finished floors.
Communication
We strive to keep customers informed and up to speed. We make it a point to visit with each customer face to face if possible, walk the project with them, give straight-forward estimates, keep customers in the loop on scheduling, update them throughout the project, and get their feedback after the job.
Customer Service
Our goal is to meet or exceed exactly what our customer needs and expects. And we know this only can happen if we sincerely listen to our customers and give them our best efforts.
Reputation
Word-of-mouth has been the key to Valley Hardwood's success. We always answer the phone, we show up when we say we will, and we don't run over or from customers. We believe doing the right thing today will give us business tomorrow.
Value
While other businesses sell "floor coverings," we sell floors. Floors that will last for the life of your home or commercial space. Floors that can be repaired seamlessly and refinished many times. Floors that can look just as beautiful 30 years from now as they did the day they were installed.
Can-Do Attitude
We're not scared of hard work. Where others see difficulty, we often see opportunity. Attitude is everything.

Terry ScottBrett finished the project in the timeline he stated. He did outstanding work and my wife and I are pleased with the results … My wife and I didn’t know Brett before he performed the work. We highly recommend Brett and Valley Hardwood to anyone looking to have hardwood installed.

Kristin FolsomNot only do they do quality and beautiful work, but they are professional and timely. Brett is a very honest person who values quality and making sure the customer is satisfied with the results.
Dr. Mark EgglestonWe asked Brett to come and do a large job … Brett was friendly, communicated, showed up when he said he would, and even with a few additional requests, he finished before the deadline. He even came back the next week when I dropped a pan and dented the new finish. The floors are beautiful.
Michael Poirier, All About Auto BodyBrett, with Valley Hardwood, does amazing work. I've hired him not once, but twice … From installation to the finishing touch, his work is quality.
Mike Mooney, Disaster ResponseOne of the things that is as important as quality when it comes to dealing with my subs is their communication with me. You have always been an excellent communicator and I appreciate that. I have never had any issues with any of the floors you have restored for us. We have been using you now for a couple of years and since we started using you, we honestly haven’t even called any of your competitors. You have been that good.
Randy LeavittThey did a magnificent job. Everything was just what we wanted. I will be calling them again to do a couple other rooms. Professional and polite.
Sam WeeksBrett restored my original 1913 hardwood floors and created a special stain color to bring out the floor's character. He was great to work with and did a great job.
Warren and Teresa BennerWe became Valley Hardwood customers many years ago when the majority of the oak flooring in our home was needing refinished. As a result of Valley Hardwoods hard work and attention to detail, our floors were refinished looking brand new. Years later we increased the amount of oak flooring in our home and once again, Valley Hardwood achieved a beautiful product in our home quickly and professionally.
Mike UhlingThe floor is absolutely beautiful, installed perfectly, and the first thing people notice when they arrive in our new home. I wanted to share with you how happy we are with it. The time, commitment, and meticulous installation was worth it. We are very thankful for your professionalism during the install. Taking the time to discuss options with us, working with us to come up with unique ideas, and going the extra mile to create a masterpiece was worth a tiny bit of extra time to have the job done so professionally and come out so amazing.
We have built 4 houses with hardwood floors, and honestly this floor is above and beyond, exceeding our expectations, thanks to you. Your work ethic and commitment to doing quality work for us, as your customers, shines through in this floor.
We are very very happy we found you and Valley Hardwood. I have and will continue to recommend you and your business to anyone and everyone that might be interested in your services. Top notch in our book. If we build again, you will be the first person I call for flooring needs, hands down.
Marshall MangumI have had the pleasure to work with Brett Fowler and Valley Hardwood for many years involving several projects. We have had the company install new floors and complete finish work, also patch and match old floors and also refinish older floors. All projects were completed with complete professionalism and quality. The end results of all projects were beautiful and matched existing finishes very well.
Brett has always dealt with me in an honest and very trustworthy manner - and with a kind word and smile as well!
I recommend Brett and Valley Hardwood highly and feel that anyone who uses his services will receive the same quality of work we always have.
