Flooring Installation & Repair in Elk River, MN
Our home base — local, owner-led service. Based right here in Elk River — local, owner-led service.
Elk River is where Timber & Tile Flooring Co. is based, and it is where most of our work begins. As the seat of Sherburne County, it sits where the Elk River meets the Mississippi, and the homes here reflect that mix of history and growth. You will find older in-town houses with character worth preserving alongside newer subdivisions built in the last couple of decades, and each one asks something a little different of its floors.
Because this is our home base, the work we do here is the most personal kind we do. When you call, you reach Jordan Backhaus — the owner and the person who will measure your rooms, plan your material, and install your floor. There is no chain of subcontractors between you and the person doing the work, and there is no one re-learning your project on install day.
A note on what we do: we install and repair floors in homes. We don't sand and refinish hardwood, and we don't take commercial jobs. If that's what you need, we'll tell you up front.

What Elk River Homes Ask of Their Floors
The older homes closer to downtown often have floor framing that has settled over the years, which means prep and a flat subfloor matter before a new engineered hardwood or tile goes down. The newer subdivisions out toward the highway tend to start with builder-grade carpet and vinyl that families outgrow quickly, and the move is usually to a warmer, harder surface for a main level that gets real use. In both cases, Minnesota's dry winters and humid summers are working on the floor year-round, so we pay close attention to acclimation and to the manufacturer's published humidity range for whatever we install. We keep shared material facts to a single sentence and send you to the service page for the details — what matters here is how that material behaves in an Elk River home, in your rooms, on your subfloor.

No. We install and repair floors, but we do not sand and refinish hardwood. If your existing floor just needs refinishing, we will say so and point you toward someone who does that work.
Yes. We handle board and plank replacements, cracked tile, lifting floating floors, gaps, and transition pieces. If a targeted repair makes sense, that is what we recommend.
