Rigby additions and tying new floors into old
Rigby grew about 28 percent in the 2010s, from 3,945 residents to 5,038, and much of that happened not through subdivisions alone but through families expanding the homes they already owned. Additions are everywhere here — a primary suite off the back, a great-room bump-out, a garage conversion — and almost every one raises the same flooring question: how do you make the new floor match the old? That's a matching and lace-in problem, and it's the heart of our Rigby work. The challenge is that an existing floor has aged — the finish has ambered, the boards have taken on color from years of light — while new wood comes in raw and bright. We identify the original species, width and grade, order matching material, and weave the new boards into the old field with interlocking joints rather than a butt seam at the doorway. Then we sand the old and new together and finish as one floor so the addition looks like it was always there. Rigby sits on the Snake River Plain with the same dry, furnace-heated winters as the rest of the valley, which matters doubly in an addition: new and old wood must reach the same moisture content before they're joined, or the seam will gap when the house dries out. So we acclimate new material in the home for days and moisture-test before installing. Between additions, new builds and refinishes, Rigby keeps us matching wood more than anywhere else we serve.

Rigby, birthplace of TV, and the Jefferson County seat
Rigby calls itself the Birthplace of Television, from Philo T. Farnsworth, who as a teenager here in the 1920s sketched the idea for electronic TV on a high-school chalkboard; the Farnsworth TV & Pioneer Museum downtown on 1st Street tells the story. The town is the Jefferson County seat, and its old core runs along Main Street and State Highway 48 just off US-20. North of town, Jefferson County Lake — known locally as Rigby Lake — draws families to its sandy beach each summer. Rigby's steady growth keeps local builders busy, and we work alongside them on new homes as well as the additions that make up so much of our matching work. Typical jobs here are lacing new hardwood into existing floors, builder installs, stair work and refinishing on older homes near downtown. Twenty minutes up US-20 keeps Rigby close, so estimates here typically happen within two business days of your call.

What neighbors say
“We had carpet removed and new red oak flooring installed to match our existing floor. With Tyler's expert guidance we found the perfect stain color. The matching of old and new flooring is flawless and the result is stunning. Both Tyler and Danny do exceptional work and were always friendly and professional. Highly recommend!”
Response from Tyler Moore
K Lee, thank you for trusting us with your home and flooring. I am glad you are happy with the floors — you were a pleasure to work for.
“Wood Flooring Idaho just finished our floors and they are beautiful! We had oak in the kitchen and wanted it extended into the dining room — their answer was “No Problem.” You absolutely cannot tell where they joined the new flooring with the old. They removed our tile entryway and replaced it with oak. Tyler is professional, particular and hardworking.”
Response from Tyler Moore
Shawna, it was our pleasure working with you and Craig. We are grateful for your business and friendship.
“Tyler and his team did an amazing job. We had a flood and were very worried our hardwood floor would never look good again. Enter Wood Flooring Idaho and our floors look amazing! Tyler was great at explaining the process, best practices, and letting us know what was possible and what was not. Great company, great work and great people!”

FAQ
Rigby flooring questions
Can you tie new hardwood into my existing floor for an addition?
Yes — tying additions into existing floors is our most common Rigby job. We identify the original floor's species, width and direction, order matching boards, and lace them into the old field with interlocking joints instead of a seam at the doorway. Then we sand old and new together and finish as one floor. The result reads as though the addition's floor was always part of the house.
Do you work with Rigby builders on new homes?
Yes. We install flooring on new Rigby homes on the builder's timeline, coordinating with the other trades so boards arrive, acclimate and install at the right stage. We handle solid hardwood, engineered plank and LVP, and we moisture-test before laying anything. Rigby's steady growth keeps us working alongside local builders, and we're used to hitting closing-date deadlines without rushing the acclimation.
How long does new hardwood need to acclimate?
Plan on several days to two weeks, depending on the wood and the home. Solid hardwood needs to reach the house's own moisture content before install, which matters especially in Rigby additions where new boards join older, already-stable wood. We deliver material early, stack it in the rooms where it'll live, and moisture-test both the wood and the subfloor before starting. Skipping this is what makes seams gap later.
How soon can you start in Rigby?
Usually we can get out for an estimate within a couple of business days — Rigby is about twenty minutes north of our Idaho Falls shop along US-20. Start dates depend on material lead time and acclimation, especially for matched additions, which we map out when we quote. Urgent repairs move up the schedule. Call (844) 954-6342 and we'll find a time.
