Making use of a tree's natural edges, from the trunk to small branches, beautiful designs can be created to enliven and enhance any room. Ourada Designs blends the beauty of the wood, interests of the client, and flow of a room to create unique floors that can never be duplicated. Ourada Designs are centered around the craftsmanship and artistic skills of Tom Ourada. He incorporates nature-inspired elements into his designs, such as the locally harvested pinecones and the natural curve of a tree in the Blue Pine Swirl floor. Tom uses the unique combination of mixing parquetry and painting to create other worlds within a floor such as the Buck and Barbwire floor. Tom's creativity, craftsmanship and artistry takes hardwood flooring to a unique level that stands above other floors. Tom harvests the wood he uses, from the customers own property, local tree service companies and/or local sources. First, the logs and branches are cut into usable lengths. Next, with his portable sawmill, the material is cut into flooring thickness while trying to keep the natural edges of the log. The rough cut boards are dried in Tom's kiln drier. Kiln drying gives the wood the recommended moisture content that minimizes cracking and movement. Finally, the boards are ready to become an exclusive Ourada Designs work of art. Every Ourada Designs floor is unique; Tom never creates the same design twice. Each floor is customized to the needs and desires of the customer. While some floors or parts of floors will need to be built off site and then be installed, others can be created all on site. ### Services Provided - Custom Flooring - Flooring Sales - Flooring Installation - Wood Floor Installation - Floor Refinishing - Wood Floor Refinishing - Wood Floor Repair - Wood Finishing - Wood Floor Staining - Floor Sanding - Floor Leveling - Wood Floor Polishing ### Areas Served - Spokane - Spokane Valley - Fairwood - Country Homes - Town and Country - Coeur d'Alene - Colbert - Nine Mile Falls - Priest Lake - Tumtum ### Typical Job Cost 2,600 - 150,000 ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Ourada Designs | | Address | PO Box 325, Nine Mile Falls, Washington 99026, United States | | Phone | (509) 389-8728 | | Website | https://ouradadesigns.com | | Followers on Houzz | 32 | ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Ourada Designs](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/flooring-contractors/ourada-designs-pfvwus-pf~1737281648) - **Website:** https://ouradadesigns.com - **Phone:** (509) 389-8728 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - NWFA Certified in Installer, NWFA Certified Sand and Finsh and Certified Sales Advisor. - NWFA Members Choice Floor of the Year 2014. - **Best of Houzz:** 3 awards (2020–2022), for Service. **Affiliations** - [National Association of Home Builders](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/national-association-of-home-builders-pfvwus-pf~562065019) - [National Wood Flooring Association](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/national-wood-flooring-association-pfvwus-pf~814721347) - [Spokane Home Builders Association](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/spokane-home-builders-association-pfvwus-pf~1041105720) ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 9 reviews** *Aspect averages:* - Work Quality: 5.0 - Communication: 5.0 - Value: 5.0 ### All 9 reviews **★★★★★ — davissquad, Aug. 2021** > Our experience with Ourada Designs was phenomenal.
