Choosing hardwood flooring is a significant decision for any homeowner. The quality and craftsmanship of the materials can greatly impact not just the look of a home but its longevity and value. Local Guys Hardwood Flooring is dedicated to sourcing the finest hardwood, rooted in a rich history and sustainable practices. In partnership with Emerson Hardwood Group, a respected distributor with deep industry expertise, Local Guys commits to providing exceptional flooring options.


Sourcing with History: A Look at Emerson Hardwood Group


Founded in 1907, Emerson Hardwood Group has a legacy that resonates throughout the hardwood industry. What started as a manufacturer of oak lumber imported from Japan has evolved as advancements in transport made domestic lumber more accessible. Today, Emerson sources wood from sustainable forests across the Pacific Northwest.


For instance, about 60% of their hardwood comes from premium species like oak, maple, and hickory, known for their durability and aesthetic appeal. Local Guys is proud to source materials from such a historically significant distributor, ensuring that each hardwood floor they install carries a piece of the Pacific Coast's vibrant legacy.


The Relationship Between Local Guys and Emerson


Although Local Guys Hardwood Flooring and Emerson Hardwood Group are not officially partnered, their relationship is effective, with both parties benefiting from mutual respect. Local Guys relies on Emerson for a steady supply of premium hardwood, understanding that the quality of their final product directly depends on the integrity of the materials sourced.


Emerson provides Local Guys with access to a wide variety of hardwood species and invaluable expertise in the wood flooring market. This access enables Local Guys to stay ahead of trends, offering customers options that match current design aesthetics. For instance, trends show that engineered hardwood floors have gained a 25% market share in recent years, and Local Guys is well-equipped to provide these sought-after options.


Commitment to Sustainability


Sustainability is a core value for both Local Guys and Emerson. Emerson Hardwood Group is committed to social, economic, and environmental sustainability. They collaborate with sawmills that adhere to responsible forestry practices, ensuring that 80% of their sourced lumber comes from certified sustainable forests. This commitment helps preserve the beauty of natural habitats and guarantees that the hardwood flooring customers choose is environmentally friendly.


Local Guys aligns with this emphasis on sustainability, recognizing that today's consumers are increasingly conscientious about the environmental impact of their purchases. By sourcing from a distributor that prioritizes responsible harvesting, Local Guys enhances its appeal among eco-minded homeowners looking for beautiful, sustainable flooring options.


Quality Assurance: The Emerson Edge


When homeowners select Local Guys Hardwood Flooring, they can be confident that their floors consist of high-quality materials. Emerson employs rigorous quality assurance processes to vet all hardwood before it reaches Local Guys. According to their quality metrics, less than 5% of the sourced wood gets rejected due to strict grading standards.


Moreover, Emerson's dedication to innovation has led to significant advancements in manufacturing processes. Their recent investments in high-tech woodworking machinery have increased durability and design options, allowing Local Guys and their customers to benefit from a broader selection of quality flooring.


The Artistic Nature of Hardwood Flooring


Every plank of hardwood flooring tells a story—reflecting the tree's age and unique growth patterns. Local Guys Hardwood Flooring appreciates this artistry, recognizing that each piece adds not just functionality but also a unique aesthetic to spaces.


By collaborating with Emerson, Local Guys offers an extensive array of designs, finishes, and species. For example, they provide eight different wood species, allowing customers to select finishes that align with their desired ambiance. This blend of function and artistry transforms ordinary homes into beautiful showcases crafted with care.
