How much does new flooring cost?

For example, hardwood flooring installation can range from $8 to $18 per square foot, while LVP installation typically falls between $5 and $11 per square foot. These prices generally include materials and labor.

How long does a flooring installation or refinishing project take?
The duration of a flooring project depends on several factors, including the type of flooring, the size of the area, the condition of the subfloor, and whether it's a new installation or a refinishing project.
- Hardwood Installation: Typically 2-5 days for an average residential space.
- Hardwood Refinishing: Usually 3-5 days, including drying time between coats. We use dustless sanding to minimize disruption.
- LVP/Laminate Installation: Often 1-3 days for an average residential space due to faster installation methods.
- Tile Installation: Can range from 3-7 days, depending on the complexity of the pattern and grout drying times.
During your free estimate, we will provide a clear timeline for your specific project.
What is the difference between solid and engineered hardwood?
Both solid and engineered hardwood are made from real wood, but their construction differs significantly:
- Solid Hardwood: Milled from a single piece of wood. It can be sanded and refinished multiple times over its lifespan (5-7 times), lasting 50-100 years. It's sensitive to moisture and humidity changes, making it unsuitable for basements or high-moisture areas.
- Engineered Hardwood: Features a real wood veneer on top, bonded to multiple layers of plywood or HDF. Its cross-ply construction makes it more dimensionally stable and resistant to humidity fluctuations. It can be installed in basements and over radiant heat. Refinishing depends on the thickness of the top veneer (wear layer).

Is LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) truly waterproof?
Yes, modern Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring is 100% waterproof throughout its entire thickness. Unlike laminate, which has a wood-based core that can swell if water penetrates the seams, LVP is made entirely of synthetic materials (PVC and related compounds) that are impermeable to water. This makes LVP an ideal choice for kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and commercial spaces where moisture exposure is a concern.

What is the best way to maintain my hardwood floors?
Proper maintenance is key to making your hardwood floors last decades. Key tips include:
- Regular Cleaning: Sweep or dust-mop daily in high-traffic areas to remove grit. Vacuum weekly with a hardwood-safe attachment (no beater bar).
- Damp-Mopping: Use a pH-neutral hardwood cleaner (like Bona) with a barely damp mop. Never wet-mop.
- Humidity Control: Maintain indoor humidity between 35-55% year-round using humidifiers in winter and AC/dehumidifiers in summer.
- Protection: Use felt pads under all furniture legs, place area rugs in high-traffic zones, and keep pet nails trimmed.
