Three Things That Set Our Installation Apart

The National Wood Flooring Association says proper installation prevents 80% of issues like cupping, crowning, and gapping.

  • Installers Who've Actually Done This Before: Most of our installation crew has been working with us for 10+ years and has dealt with every weird subfloor problem you can imagine.
  • Transparent Pricing From the Start: You'll get a quote that spells out materials, labor, old flooring removal (if needed), and disposal fees with no surprise charges.
  • We'll Bring Samples to Your House: Can't make it to our showroom? We'll drive samples over so you can see them in your house with your own lighting.
  • What We Install (And Where It Works Best)
  • Hardwood Installation: Red oak holds up well and actually improves over time. Maple looks good in kitchens if you want something clean and modern.
  • Carpet Installation: Nothing turns a cold basement into actual living space like good carpet. Low-pile carpets vacuum easier and grab less pet hair, and quality underlayment extends carpet life.
  • Vinyl Installation: Luxury vinyl plank won't let water through, so you can put it in bathrooms and basements. Sheet vinyl works in laundry rooms and mudrooms since water can't get through the seams.
  • Laminate Installation: Laminate gives you the hardwood look without the hardwood price. AC3 ratings handle normal traffic and AC4 takes on busy households with kids.

Common Questions About Installation

  • How long does installation typically take?Most houses take a day or two depending on how big they are and what flooring you picked.
  • Do I need to be home during installation?Someone should be there when we start and when we finish, but you don't need to stick around all day.
  • What about baseboards and trim?We can work around what's there, though pulling off baseboards sometimes creates a cleaner look.
  • Can you install over existing flooring?Sometimes. Vinyl and laminate can go over existing hard surfaces if they're level and solid.
  • What if you find issues with the subfloor?We'll tell you right away and give you pricing before we do anything extra.
  • Do you offer financing?Yes, we work with several lenders and can discuss payment options.
  • What about warranty coverage?Flooring materials come with manufacturer warranties, and our installation work has our own guarantee backing it.
