About Us
Mico LLC was established in 1992 with the aim of providing high value flooring at lower prices by specializing in secondary or residual flooring products. According to Leed (Leadership Energy Environmental Design), if manufactured within 500 miles of harvested timber it is to be classified as a green product, which is the case with most of our products. Producing and installing solid wood flooring creates a smaller carbon footprint than any other floor manufacturing method such as engineered and high pressure laminate floors. Most of the products we offer and produce are considered to be secondary or residual products that otherwise might be used in lower value applications. Even though we specialize in Douglas Fir, we also offer character grades of flooring and moldings in fast growing Southern Yellow Pine and Western Red Alder. On special request we will run flooring out of eastern quarter and rift sawn backer boards from veneer slicing mills. These product are typically run to 1/4" - 9/16" in thickness both square edged and T&G x 5" - 16" wide x 3'-12' long. Primary species are White Oak, Cherry and Black Walnut. Pricing for these items runs $5.75/sqft - $9.75/sqft depending on species, specifications and square footage.

Installation Tips
- Stack flooring indoors for a few days to allow the wood time to adjust humidity level.
- Plan to install the flooring perpendicular to the floor joists.
- Mark the positions of the joists along a wall for reference and nail into joists wherever possible.
- Cover the subfloor with a layer of 15-pound asphalt felt.
- Mark the centerline of the room and another line about 1/2 inch from the starting wall exactly parallel to your centerline.
- Stagger them so no end joint is closer than 6 inches to an end joint in the next row.
- Face-nail the first row through the plywood subflooring to the floor joists or sleepers using a nail set to recess the nails below the surface.
- Blind-nail with a hammer and finishing nails this and the next two rows by hand.
- When installing the second row and every row thereafter, move a short piece of flooring along the edge and give it a sharp rap with a mallet to tighten the new row against the previous row before nailing.
- Use a flooring nailer once you've installed the first three rows.
When you reach the final row, use a block and a pry bar to wedge the last boards tightly into position and face-nail boards.
