Hardwood installation: Handy man or carpenter?

[Tri Ly]

Anyone in the Seattle area know of a good handy man to do some hardwood floor installation? I have a small area of carpeted stair that need to be ripped and installed with hardwood. I can handle the flat floor DYI but stairs require some special tools and craftsmanship. Maybe a carpenter? Thanks

Have you tried Craigs List? I found a good and very inexpensive professional hardwood floor person who installed all the hardwood in 2 days. Needed one day to level concrete floor before installation. Paid $2,490 for materials and installation. This was engineered hardwoods from Lumber Liquidators ($1.69/sq.ft.) for 700 sq.ft. of flooring to cover formal living, dining, entry and all hallways.
