For Apartment Owners & Operators
Flooring that survives turn after turn and keeps your units leasing
We install and replace flooring for existing apartment communities across Boise, Meridian, Nampa, and the rest of the Treasure Valley, scoped around your turn calendar and the way renters actually put a floor through its paces.
For an owner or operator, flooring is never a one-and-done purchase. It is a line item that comes back every time a resident moves out, every time a supply line lets go, every time a corridor starts to look tired to a prospect walking the property. What you need is not the cheapest square foot on paper but a floor and a crew that keep total cost per unit predictable across the years you hold the asset.
The Treasure Valley adds its own wrinkles. Forced-air heat pulls indoor humidity to single digits through a long winter, which moves solid wood and can telegraph seams if a floor was installed without regard for our climate. Slab-on-grade construction wants moisture testing and the right adhesive before anything goes down. Gravel lots, mudroom snowmelt, and dog traffic punish entries and transitions harder than the middle of a room ever sees. We plan around all of it instead of pretending Idaho behaves like anywhere else.
This section is the front door to how we work with owners: fast, clean unit turns; volume pricing that scales with a portfolio; rental-grade products chosen to last through multiple leases; common-area refreshes that lift curb appeal; and partial replacement when only part of a floor is damaged. Alderwood is an Idaho Registered Contractor (Idaho RCE-6681702) through the Idaho Division of Building Safety, insured, and we stand behind a workmanship warranty on every floor we install. Send us your unit mix or a property list and we will map the rest.
Why Partner With Us
What Working With Us Looks Like
One crew across the whole portfolio
Instead of chasing a different installer for each property, you get one point of contact and one consistent spec across every building you own. That means the same product, the same finish standard, and the same paperwork from Nampa to Eagle.
Turn speed without shortcuts
Vacant days are lost rent, so we schedule around your make-ready window and hit it. Fast does not mean skipping subfloor prep or moisture checks, the two steps that decide whether a floor lasts one lease or five.
Products picked for renters and this climate
We spec floors that shrug off dog nails, rolling luggage, and dry-winter movement rather than whatever is on sale that week. Rigid-core and quality engineered lines let us give you a repeatable look that survives real rental use.
Pricing and records you can budget against
Volume work gets volume pricing, and every job comes with clear scope and documentation your accounting and asset teams can file. When you know your cost per unit up front, capital planning stops being guesswork.

How We Serve Apartment Owners & Operators
Unit Turns & Make-Ready Flooring
We schedule and set make-ready flooring to hit your turn date instead of stretching it — engineered and resilient floors installed tight around paint, clean, and punch so the unit is rent-ready when leasing promised it.
Read morePortfolio Pricing & Volume Programs
We build one agreed flooring standard across your Treasure Valley communities and hold pricing steady per floor plan, so the line item stops moving every time a unit turns.
Read moreDurable Rental Flooring
We help Treasure Valley apartment owners pick flooring that shrugs off tenants, pets, and Idaho winters — matched to your unit mix and how long you hold the asset.
Read moreCorridor & Common-Area Refresh
Alderwood refreshes the floors your residents actually share — corridors, stairwells, lobbies, and amenity rooms — sequenced so the building keeps leasing and every door stays reachable while the work moves through.
Read moreDamage & Partial Replacement
Localized floor damage rarely needs a whole-unit re-floor. Alderwood scopes repair-and-blend against full replacement, matches to your attic stock where the material allows, and documents the work so you can support an insurance claim or a resident chargeback.

Good to Know
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work across a whole portfolio or just one building?
Both. We handle a single problem unit when that is all you need, and we run standing programs across multiple communities with one shared spec and pricing. Send a property list or unit mix and we will scope it as one relationship rather than a string of one-off calls.
How fast can you turn a vacant unit?
Turn speed depends on square footage, product lead time, and whether the subfloor needs repair, but we schedule to your make-ready window and treat vacant days as the cost they are. Our make-ready page walks through how we compress the timeline without skipping prep. The short version is that planning the material ahead of the move-out is what keeps a turn on schedule.
What flooring holds up best in Treasure Valley rentals?
For most rental units we lean toward rigid-core luxury vinyl, which resists scratches, water, and the low winter humidity that moves solid wood in our high-desert climate. Where an owner wants real wood, engineered plank installed over a properly tested slab or radiant system is the durable choice. Our durable rental flooring page compares the options in detail.
Can you match existing flooring when only part of a floor is damaged?
Often, yes. When a supply line or appliance floods one room, we source the closest available match and blend the repair into existing runs so you are not re-flooring a whole unit over a small failure. If the original product is discontinued we will tell you honestly what a seamless match versus a full-room replacement looks like.
How does pricing work across multiple properties?
Volume and repeat work earn better pricing than a single job, and we quote a consistent per-unit or per-sq-ft rate you can plan a capital budget around. Our portfolio pricing page covers how volume programs are structured. To get numbers for your holdings, send us your unit counts and typical floor plans.
