Our Flooring Installation Services
Hardwood & Engineered Wood
Nothing matches the warmth and elegance of real wood flooring. We install solid hardwood in species like oak, maple, and walnut, as well as engineered hardwood that offers superior stability in areas with moisture or temperature fluctuations. Choose from various widths, finishes, and installation patterns including traditional strip flooring, wider planks, or distinctive herringbone and chevron patterns. We handle sanding and finishing for unfinished products, or install prefinished flooring for faster project completion.
Vinyl, Laminate & Tile
Modern vinyl and laminate flooring have come a long way, offering incredible realism and durability at accessible price points. Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and luxury vinyl tile (LVT) are 100% waterproof, making them ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. Laminate offers a budget-friendly wood look with good durability. For wet areas like bathrooms and mudrooms, ceramic or porcelain tile provides unmatched water resistance and a wide range of design options from classic subway tile to large-format contemporary styles.
Subfloor Prep & Leveling
A perfect floor starts with a perfect subfloor. Before any flooring goes down, we carefully assess and prepare the substrate. This may include repairing damaged subfloor sections, installing new underlayment, leveling uneven areas with floor leveling compound, and ensuring proper moisture barriers are in place. For wood flooring, we check moisture levels and allow materials to acclimate properly. These preparatory steps are essential for a successful installation.
Professional Installation & Finishing
Our skilled installers use proper techniques for each flooring type—nail-down for solid hardwood, floating installation for engineered wood and laminate, glue-down or loose lay for vinyl, and thin-set mortar for tile. We pay careful attention to layout, ensuring seams are properly staggered and transitions between rooms look natural. We install matching trim, thresholds, and baseboards to complete the look. For hardwood installations, we handle sanding, staining, and multiple coats of protective finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best flooring for high-traffic areas?
For high-traffic areas, durability is key. Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is extremely durable and virtually indestructible. Porcelain tile is another excellent choice. If you prefer the look of wood, engineered hardwood with a hard finish like aluminum oxide holds up well. We help you balance aesthetics with practical considerations based on how you use each space.
How long does flooring installation take?
Installation time varies by material and square footage. A typical room (200-300 sq ft) might take 1-2 days for vinyl or laminate, 2-3 days for tile (plus curing time), or 3-4 days for hardwood including finishing. Whole-home installations typically take 3-7 days depending on size and complexity.
Can you install flooring over existing floors?
Sometimes. Vinyl and laminate can often be installed over existing vinyl, tile, or wood floors if they're in good condition and level. However, removing old flooring is often recommended as it allows us to inspect and properly prepare the subfloor, ensuring the best possible installation. We assess your specific situation during the estimate.
What's the difference between solid and engineered hardwood?
Solid hardwood is 100% hardwood throughout and can be sanded and refinished multiple times. Engineered hardwood has a real hardwood top layer bonded to plywood layers beneath, making it more stable and moisture-resistant. Engineered is better for basements and over radiant heat, while solid is traditional and can be refinished more times. Both look beautiful when installed properly.
How do I maintain my new floors?
Maintenance depends on the flooring type. Hardwood needs regular sweeping and occasional damp mopping with wood floor cleaner. Vinyl and laminate are low-maintenance—just sweep and mop as needed. Tile requires grout cleaning every few months. We provide detailed care instructions specific to your flooring choice, including recommended products and techniques.
What does flooring installation typically cost?
Flooring costs vary widely based on material and installation complexity. Budget vinyl or laminate might run $3-$6 per square foot installed. Mid-range engineered hardwood typically costs $8-$12 per square foot. Premium solid hardwood can exceed $15 per square foot. We provide transparent estimates that break down material and labor costs clearly.
