Our Story

Memphis floors, twenty years of doing it right.

William Jackson founded Midtown Hardwood in 2005 on one conviction: every floor in Memphis deserves the same care and craft, whether it's 100-year-old Heart Pine or a brand-new white oak install.

The Founder

William Jackson

William started in the hardwood flooring trade in Memphis and launched Midtown Hardwood in 2005 with a simple promise: show up on time, do clean work, and treat every customer's home with respect.

Two decades later that promise still walks every job. What began as a neighborhood operation in Midtown has grown into a trusted, award-winning shop serving Memphis and the surrounding communities — but the personal, owner-led service has never changed.

"We bring your floors back to life — whether that means uncovering hundred-year-old Heart Pine under carpet, laying brand new white oak, or restoring the original finish your grandparents walked on."

The Shop Today

Owner-led. Award-recognized. Memphis-rooted.

Midtown Hardwood is a family-owned operation — not a franchise, not a call center. William is personally involved on every project from the initial walk-through to the final coat. The Angie's List Super Service Award, earned 5 consecutive years, reflects exactly that level of personal accountability.
