Hardwood Floors Portland, A City That Knows Its Woods

Living in a city so familiar with wood products and hardwood floors, Portland dwellers are some pretty savvy wood flooring buyers. At Stone+Wood Outlet, we carry lots of the traditional favorites, like Oak and Maple, but we also like being able to offer some species you're not going to find everywhere else, like the beautiful Acacia Rosewood you see above as well as many other beautiful exotic woods. Below is an absolutely stunning Tigerwood bathroom:

When it comes to hardwood floors, Portland expects the best and greatest variety, which, thankfully, keeps us at Stone+Wood Outlet on our toes. We're proud to house one of the greatest collections of hardwood flooring species in the city, as well a vast selection of decking, tile, stone, and laminate. Come down and take a look!

We've also revamped our commercial as of late. Many of you sports fans may already have seen it, but if not, here it is:

Flooring and resale...

When most people select new flooring for their home they probably aren't thinking too much about how the choice would affect resale, but since flooring is one great way to add value to your home, it is something you should consider.  Many people try to go the safe route with an unstained oak or pine.  While this choice will look nice in most homes it just doesn't have the "wow" factor.  With all the choices out today- there is something for everyone.  You can go rustic, hand-scraped, exotics, brushed, etc.-some of these are more of a "risk" than others- but selecting something in warm brown or red tones can create an instant impression to guests of your home and more importantly potential buyers. 

Come in today and check out our selection of hardwoods and exotics that say "wow"!  Also check us out on YouTube.

Exotic Hardwood

Today I quoted a customer for some Bolivian Rosewood 3" what was interesting about this was the realization by myself and the customer of how many different names this one product uses within the industry. I found a product called Sirari which is also a name for Bolivian Rosewood and then found others. So, be aware that many times a product in the exotic category can have many names. Also, wood comes in different grades so ask which grade you are getting. They are from top to bottom: Clear, Select, #1 Common and #2 Common. Many mills will mix the products to make a "Select and Better" product or a mix of Clear and Select. By mixing grades they can often get their pricing down to a more palatable price while keeping the look rich.

Fall Decking

I have been getting quite a few calls from people thinking about doing their deck prior to the onset of winter but concerned about getting it done in time. My advice is to do it NOW and the main reason is price. Right now most companies like www.decking-outlet.com and www.stonewoodoutlet.com are trying to liquidate inventory prior to winter. This is creating awesome opportunities to buy decking for up to 50% off the normal list pricing. So, consider Cumaru 1x6 decking which sold this summer for $2.99 and is now as low as $1.99!

www.Decking-Outlet.com - Discount Wood Decking Web Site

Wood Decking is a relatively new item for us here at Stone+Wood Outlet. We started out by choosing some of the finest tropical hardwood decking products that were not being distributed in our region. We chose TigerWood, Cumaru, Angelim Pedra and Select Grade Ipe.

Pictured above is our Angelim Pedra, not the most popular option, but certainly a great choice in terms of durability. Once it is stained with an oil finish it looks fantastic.

Our sister company in New Hampshire, Uncle Hildes Lumber Outlet, also carries a great variety of exterior decking products. They carry a similar array of naturally durable hardwoods as well as several varieties of Composite Decking including Fiberon and Sensibuilt.

We've decided to join forces on an internet market project and have officially opened www.decking-outlet.com. Our goal is to provide the best possible customer service along with great pricing and a huge selection of products. Check out the new web site at www.Decking-Outlet.com.

For your next home improvement project, skip the home improvement super stores!

Many people start their search for flooring, decking, and building materials at one of the home improvement super stores. It seems like the quick and easy way to go at first glance.

At Stone+Wood Lumber Outlet you will always be greeted by a friendly knowledgable employee (and there's a good chance you'll be greeted by the owner). They are highly educated in the products that they offer and they can give you advice on proper installation, what product might be best for your flooring or decking needs, and you will get a highly competive price to boot.

As you start making plans for your next flooring or decking project, skip the giant home improvement stores and find the real service and value at Stone+Wood Lumber Outlet!

Life as the wife of a "Flooring Guy"...

As the wife of a “flooring guy” I have developed a deep appreciation for anything flooring over the years. It’s impossible to walk into a restaurant, a mall, or even a friend’s house without some recognition of what is covering the floors. Every home we have lived in over the past 13 years has had a flooring makeover. We recognized early on that we could add quick value as well as beauty with this relatively inexpensive update.

When the opportunity arose in the fantastic Portland market to get into business for ourselves we were excited about the prospects. After 15 years of experience in every aspect of the flooring business, my husband finally took the leap into self-employment. We wanted Stone+Wood Outlet to be the type of place that we would shop. We offer a great selection with a huge in-stock selection (which we would have loved when we were working on our flooring projects!) with something for everyone’s taste. When you enter our warehouse, you’ll see hardwood, stone, ceramic, laminate, and even decking. You’ll be greeted by our knowledgeable and personable staff- and very likely you’ll have the unique pleasure of working with my husband! (Tell Steve that Lisa sent you!)



We have always appreciated the beauty and diversity of tile. We are very excited about our recent acquisition of beautiful, high end tile- that we will be offering to the public at amazing prices. If you are in the market for tile…or will be in the near future- you owe it to yourself to check out this special offering. Tile looks great in the traditional rooms-bathrooms and kitchens, but it also creates a sophisticated living and family room. We found one of our favorite uses of tile has been in the homes where we had a combination of kitchen/breakfast nook/family room. We used a large 18x18 tile in a dark, natural state tile which had a lovely appearance, hid dirt well, and was easy to care for. We hope that you give Stone+Wood Outlet a chance. Stop by and say hello to Steve- remember, tell him Lisa sent you.!

Portland Area Discount Retailer of Flooring, Decking and Tile Expands

The new store, located at 9907 SE 82nd Ave., Happy Valley, OR 97086, carries the full line of Hardwood Flooring, Decking, Tile Flooring and Stone Products. The location was formerly a Portland area icon - The Tool Peddler, one of the leading discount stores for wood working tools.

Stone+Wood specializes in discounts, close-outs, over-stocks, liquidations and any other good deals it can find on material. Unlike the typical retail flooring store, we have inventory at our stores!

We offer Engineered Flooring and Handscraped flooring as well. With prices starting at $1.99 per SF for hardwood flooring, we offer the DIY consumer a huge variety of in stock options for flooring.

Stone+Wood's line up of exterior decking for the Summer include naturally durable hardwoods such as TigerWood, Angelim Pedra, Ipe, Brazilian Redwood and Sensibuilt Composite decking from Fiberon Composites. These are all close out items and are being sold for 20-40% under the typical retail price. We sell only the highest quality decking materials in naturally durable, strong and hard, tropical hardwoods and composites. Any of these materials will far outlast the typical softwood Western Red Cedar or Redwood deck. Build it once to last.



Breaking News: Stone+Wood just purchased the remaining inventory from The Tile Source Store in Portland, Oregon. Formerly a popular wholesaler to Portland area retailers, The Tile Source Store specialized in high end Italian, Spanish and Mexican Stone Tiles. We have over 350 pallets of material that will be arriving at our stores over the next week, including a fantastic selection of colors, styles and textures. As part of this purchase, we have received an amazing number of trims, edgings and corners; we’ll be selling it all at deep discounts.
