About Us

Fairfield County’s Flooring Experts.

Northwest Flooring has installed and refinished floors across Fairfield County since 2011. We measure the rooms, check the subfloor, source the material, and install it with our own crews, so one company stays accountable from the estimate through to the final threshold.

Complete Project Support

More Than The Day The Floor Goes Down.

Northwest Flooring helps shape the project before installation begins, and stays accountable through the final threshold.

01

Room Planning

Layout, transitions, subfloor condition, and moisture readings are reviewed before any material is ordered.

02

Material Guidance

Hardwood, vinyl, carpet, tile, and laminate compared by appearance, wear, and how each holds up in that room.

03

Professional Installation

Subfloor prep, levelling, and installation carried out from a written plan, with the rest of the house protected.

04

Trim & Finish Work

Thresholds, stair nosing, quarter round, cleanup, and a walkthrough of the whole floor before the job closes.

Our People

The People Who Do The Work.

You will meet the people working on your floor. The person who measures it is on site when it goes in.

Martin Ellison

Founder & Creative Director

22 years in flooring · Westport, Connecticut

Martin started laying hardwood at nineteen, working for a Norwalk installer who sent him out alone in his second week. He opened Northwest Flooring fifteen years later and has run it since.

He still walks every estimate himself. He measures the rooms, pulls a vent cover to see what is under the existing floor, and checks moisture content before anything gets quoted. On specification work he handles material selection directly with designers and architects.

Martin lives in Westport, ten minutes from the shop.

Elliot Vance

Installation Director

18 years on site · Fairfield, Connecticut

Elliot came up through commercial tile before moving to residential, which is where he learned that most flooring failures start underneath the floor rather than in it.

He runs the crews and the schedule: subfloor assessment, moisture testing, levelling, and the sequencing that keeps a job moving when painters and cabinet installers are working in the same house. If a substrate has to be corrected before the floor goes down, that call is his.

Elliot lives in Fairfield and coaches youth lacrosse in the spring.

Noah Brooks

Material Specialist

11 years in hardwood and stone · Norwalk, Connecticut

Noah spent six years on the milling side before moving to installation, so he knows what happens to a board between the kiln and the jobsite.

He manages sourcing and the sample library. He tracks what each mill is running, matches stains and sheens against the light in your rooms, and orders material so run numbers stay consistent across a whole floor rather than shifting halfway through.

Noah lives in Norwalk and restores furniture in his garage on weekends.
