Bamboo Wood Flooring Installation
Bamboo Flooring has quickly become a very popular flooring choice because of its color, versatility, exceptional hardness and its resistance to moisture and humid conditions. The natural colors, hues, and wide variety of grain patterns available in Bamboo make it adaptable to almost any home décor.
Another reason to choose a Bamboo Floor is that Bamboo is a very renewable resource for a hardwood. Bamboo typically takes only 4-5 years from planting to being ready for milling into flooring material. Compare that short duration with the 30 - 50+ years it can take for many domestic and exotic wood species and it’s a much more renewable hardwood flooring choice.
J & J Wood Floors offers competitive prices on many different brands of Bamboo Flooring. From installing a few hundred square feet of Bamboo Flooring to several thousand square feet of Bamboo Flooring our Bamboo floor installation specialists are the best in the business, paying attention to the finer details of your installation.
Bamboo Wood Flooring Tip: Have you ever heard of the "Janka" hardness test? The Janka hardness test measures the force required to embed a .444-inch steel ball to half its diameter in a given species of hardwood. It is one of the best measures of the ability of a hardwood species to withstand denting and wear from constant abuse.
The Janka hardness test is a great way to choose and compare wood flooring materials that will stand up to your abuse. Natural finished bamboo has a Janka rating of 1380. If the Bamboo is carbonized to produce a darker color the hardness drops to 1180.
Natural Bamboo Flooring – The natural color of Bamboo flooring helps to brighten up any space within your home. With a Janka hardness rating of 1380, it’s even more durable than Oak or Ash and is also very resistant to moisture, making it a great choice for any high traffic areas of your home. J & J Wood Floors has a large selection of Natural Bamboo flooring and can help you make the best color choice for your home.
Carbonized Bamboo Flooring – If you like the look of Bamboo flooring but want something a little darker, then carbonized Bamboo flooring is a good choice. There are many different shades and colors available. The trade-off is that the carbonizing process actually ends up softening the wood, making it less durable. J & J Wood Floors has a large selection of carbonized bamboo flooring to choose from.
When you choose J & J Wood Floors to complete your flooring project you aren’t just getting another flooring contractor. You’re taking on a partner in making your home or business look the absolute best it can, and we’ll guarantee you, that nobody will have anything bad to say about your new Bamboo floors!

Why Choose Bamboo Wood Flooring For Your Home Or Business?
Bamboo wood flooring is an increasingly popular choice among homeowners and business owners for several compelling reasons. Here’s why bamboo might be the perfect flooring option for your next project:
1. Sustainability and Eco-Friendliness
Bamboo is one of the most sustainable flooring materials available. Unlike traditional hardwoods, bamboo is a type of grass that grows rapidly, reaching maturity in just 3-5 years compared to 30-50 years for trees used in hardwood flooring. This rapid growth rate makes bamboo a highly renewable resource, reducing deforestation and promoting environmental conservation.
- Rapid Renewal: Bamboo regenerates quickly after harvesting without the need for replanting, ensuring a constant supply of raw material.
- Low Environmental Impact: Bamboo farming requires minimal pesticides and fertilizers, making it a more environmentally friendly option compared to conventional timber.
2. Durability and Hardness
Bamboo flooring is remarkably durable and can withstand heavy foot traffic, making it suitable for both residential and commercial settings. Strand-woven bamboo, in particular, is known for its superior hardness, often exceeding that of traditional hardwoods like oak and maple.
- Hardness Rating: Strand-woven bamboo typically scores higher on the Janka hardness scale than many traditional hardwoods, indicating its resistance to dents and scratches.
- Longevity: Properly maintained bamboo flooring can last for decades, providing long-term value and performance.
3. Aesthetic Appeal
Bamboo flooring offers a unique, contemporary look that can enhance the aesthetic of any space. Available in a variety of colors and grain patterns, bamboo can complement various interior design styles, from modern to rustic.
- Variety of Finishes: Bamboo flooring comes in a range of finishes, including natural, carbonized, and stained options, allowing you to choose the perfect hue for your décor.
- Distinctive Grain Patterns: The natural grain of bamboo adds a distinctive texture and visual interest to your floors.
4. Ease of Maintenance
Maintaining bamboo flooring is relatively straightforward. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping with a damp cloth are typically all that’s needed to keep bamboo floors looking their best.
- Low Maintenance: Bamboo floors are resistant to stains and spills, making them easier to clean compared to other flooring types.
- Refinishing Potential: Depending on the type of bamboo flooring, it can be sanded and refinished to restore its original beauty if it becomes worn or scratched over time.
5. Cost-Effectiveness
Bamboo flooring is often more affordable than traditional hardwood flooring, offering a cost-effective solution without sacrificing quality or aesthetics.
- Competitive Pricing: Bamboo provides a budget-friendly alternative to hardwood, allowing you to achieve a high-end look at a lower cost.
- Value for Money: Given its durability and longevity, bamboo flooring offers excellent value for money over its lifespan.
6. Health Benefits
Bamboo flooring can contribute to a healthier indoor environment. It is naturally resistant to allergens such as dust mites and mold, which can be beneficial for individuals with allergies or respiratory issues.
- Allergen Resistance: Bamboo does not harbor dust mites or mold, contributing to improved indoor air quality.
- VOC Emissions: High-quality bamboo flooring is manufactured with low VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions, reducing the risk of indoor air pollution.

Do You Have Questions About Bamboo Wood Flooring?
Bamboo wood flooring offers numerous benefits, including sustainability, durability, aesthetic appeal, and ease of maintenance. It is an eco-friendly choice due to its rapid growth and renewability, and it is often harder and more resilient than many traditional hardwoods. Additionally, bamboo flooring provides a unique and modern look, is easy to clean, and can be more cost-effective compared to traditional hardwood flooring.
Bamboo flooring is highly durable, especially strand-woven bamboo, which is known for its hardness and resistance to wear and tear. Strand-woven bamboo is often harder than traditional hardwoods like oak and maple, making it suitable for high-traffic areas in both residential and commercial settings. Proper care and maintenance can further enhance its longevity.
Bamboo flooring is versatile and can be installed in most areas of your home, including living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. However, it is not recommended for high-moisture areas like bathrooms or basements unless it is specifically engineered for such environments. It’s important to check the manufacturer's guidelines for suitability in different areas.
Bamboo flooring is more moisture-resistant than traditional hardwoods but still susceptible to damage from excessive moisture and humidity. It’s important to maintain stable indoor humidity levels and clean up spills promptly to prevent warping or swelling. For areas with high moisture levels, engineered bamboo flooring with a moisture-resistant core is a better option.
Maintaining bamboo flooring is relatively simple. Regularly sweep or vacuum to remove dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a damp mop with a pH-neutral cleaner specifically designed for hardwood floors. Avoid using excessive water, harsh chemicals, or abrasive cleaning tools that can damage the finish.
Yes, many types of bamboo flooring, particularly solid and strand-woven bamboo, can be refinished. Refinishing involves sanding down the surface and applying a new finish, which can restore the floor's appearance and prolong its life. However, engineered bamboo flooring may have limitations on the number of times it can be refinished due to its thinner wear layer.
Bamboo flooring is considered an environmentally friendly option. Bamboo is a rapidly renewable resource, growing to maturity in just a few years compared to decades for hardwood trees. Additionally, responsible harvesting practices and low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) finishes contribute to its eco-friendliness.
Bamboo flooring comes in a variety of styles and finishes, including natural, carbonized, stained, and hand-scraped options. You can choose from different plank sizes, colors, and textures to match your interior design preferences. Strand-woven bamboo offers a unique grain pattern that adds visual interest to any space.
The cost of bamboo flooring varies depending on the quality, style, and brand. Generally, bamboo flooring is more affordable than traditional hardwood flooring, offering a cost-effective solution without compromising on durability or aesthetics. With a visit to your home we can provide you with quotes from different suppliers to compare prices and options.
Like all wood-based flooring, bamboo can expand and contract with changes in temperature and humidity. It's essential to leave an expansion gap around the perimeter of the room during installation to accommodate these changes. Proper acclimation of the bamboo flooring before installation can also help minimize expansion and contraction issues.
Solid bamboo flooring is made entirely from bamboo strips pressed together, making it highly durable and strong. Engineered bamboo flooring consists of a bamboo veneer layer on top of a composite or plywood base, providing more stability in environments with fluctuating temperatures and humidity levels. Both types have their advantages, with solid bamboo being ideal for areas with stable conditions and engineered bamboo suited for moisture-prone areas.

Highly recommended! After we made initial contact, Joe came out quickly to visit our home. We received a competitive estimate from him the next day and decided to hire him for the job. We handled the demolition of the existing carpet and tile flooring where necessary. The installation went smoothly--they were able to seamlessly lace in the new red oak with our existing red oak flooring. Joe & Scott were responsive to questions and feedback and got us exactly what we were looking for. If we do more wood flooring or need our floors refinished, we'll be calling them first!
Absolutely beautiful job renewing our hard wood floors! We were delighted to find they were white oak and Joe and his son were so amazing. Hard workers, polite and friendly…so thankful to have found them. They were fast and detailed. Don’t hesitate if you are looking. They are your guys.
J & J wood floors completed our entire first floor with beautiful wood floors. They were extremely kind, courteous, and punctual. The floors turned out even better than what we had imagined. I highly recommend them. Thank you J& J wood floors.
Great workmanship. Friendly and collaborative throughout the whole process. Flexible in working with you (we had to extend the floor in the kitchen and fit that into the schedule. Thorough. Set all the face nails. Sealed all spaces and nails. Got completely under all cupboards, fridge, and piano. And put 3 full Coates on the floors. A great experience with wonderful results. All this with no dust during the whole process! Finished ahead of schedule.
J&J Wood Floors refinished our hardwood floors. They are knowledgeable and professional. They have all the professional equipment and do the job right. We are pleased with how the floors turned out.
J & J did a great job with matching and tying in new wood with our classic old hardwood floors. Fair and easy to work with. Would definitely use again. Thanks
We have used J and J twice to do engineered hardwood flooring. They did our entire downstairs in 2015 and most recently in 2022 the upstairs. Both times went quickly and efficiently and the product looks great
Joe and his crew did a fantastic job installing some additional wood flooring and refinishing our old floors. Everything matched perfectly and they were neat and clean during the whole process. We have some more flooring to do and plan to have Joe do that work too. We would have no reservations recommending J&J flooring to anyone needing flooring work.
On time , kept the worksite tidy and very clean when they were done. Easy to work with and good communicator with questions I had a long the way. The floors look great!
Excellent work. Done quick with great prices. Would recommend to all
Hands down amazing work glad I went with them to do my wood floors I highly recommend
Super happy I chose this company to redo my floors. 10/10 would recommend anyone to use them . Professional in all aspects thanks again guys !
My wood floors are stunning! Joe and Scott did an amazing job of restoring my floors. They are professional and detail oriented! The process they use is very clean and I was happily surprised at how quick and efficient it was. I would highly recommend them, their customer service is top notch.
We had water damage to our oak flooring in the kitchen due to a poorly installed dish washer (another story). Joe and Scott refinished our flooring (approximately 500 square feet) and did an outstanding job. They arrived when they said would, were efficient and professional in every respect, and caused minimal disruption. When I handed Joe the check I said that "it was worth every penny". It was. Most importantly, however, is that my wife now says that she "can't help but smile every time she looks at the "new" flooring. Thanks Joe!
Amazing work restoring our old hard wood floors and installing new wood floors to replace carpet. Wonderful craftsmanship and reliable service. Highly recommended!! We’re very pleased with the results.
We hired J & J to refinish some existing oak floors and install new flooring to match, including a flight of stairs, at our condo in North Tahoe. Joe worked with us remotely (since this isn't our full time residence). We met Joe at the condo and reviewed the job parameters during the estimate phase; the bid was very competitive. Then we were able to do everything remotely via emails and phone calls. The finished product is beautiful and transformed our space. We really appreciate that we didn't have to run back-and-forth from the valley to the mountains to supervise Joe. He kept us updated with progress reports which helped immensely. We have high praise for Joe's craftsmanship and and business sense. His work is first rate and his professionalism spot on. We highly recommend J & J.
Great work, timely, friendly and great prices.
I cannot say enough about these guys my floors turned out amazing. Everyday I walk through the house and it puts a smile on my face thanks,./
J & J Wood Floors did an outstanding job on our wood floors! We have an existing wood floor that we needed to match and they did a great job finding the right product for our needs. Their service and attention to detail was on target. Joe and his son are experts at what they do. I highly recommend this company for all your flooring needs!
We priced out Aquarius Medallion flooring around Bay Area and found J&J to be the best deal even with our project 100 plus miles away from Auburn. We did a large 5000 sf ft home in the Whiskey Aquarius. Jeff and His son are top notch installers and first class people. On time and finished on schedule. I personally recommend them for any flooring project. Feel free to contact me for a referral. Our house turned out perfect and only have praise for J&J. I also think the Aquarius product is a steal and looks better than the much higher priced competition.
