Frequently Asked Questions

Laminate installation ranges from $3 to $8 per square foot, luxury vinyl plank from $4 to $9, and tile from $7 to $15+. Prices include labor and standard underlayment. The exact cost depends on subfloor condition, material selection, and room layout. We provide a detailed written estimate before any work begins.

Most laminate or vinyl projects are completed in 1–2 days for rooms up to 1,000 square feet. Tile typically takes 2–5 days due to curing time. We also allow 48 hours for materials to acclimate in your home prior to installation.

We recommend clearing the room of small items and breakables. Our crew can assist with moving larger furniture at no extra cost, but we ask that you handle electronics and valuables. We’ll discuss furniture logistics during your estimate.

Standard laminate is water-resistant but not fully waterproof. Waterproof laminate options exist and are suitable for kitchens and bathrooms. For areas with high moisture, we often recommend luxury vinyl plank or tile for guaranteed waterproof performance.

Luxury vinyl plank and porcelain tile are top choices for pet owners. Both are highly scratch-resistant and waterproof. Laminate also holds up well, but we suggest a high AC rating (AC4 or AC5) for large dogs.

All installations come with a 5-year workmanship warranty. Manufacturer warranties on materials typically range from 15 years to lifetime. If any issue arises related to our labor, we fix it at no cost to you.

Absolutely. We bring samples to your home, take precise measurements, and deliver a written quote within 24 hours—no charge and no obligation.

Subfloor preparation ensures your new floor is level, clean, and dry. Skipping this step can void manufacturer warranties and cause planks to separate or tiles to crack. We grind high spots, fill low areas, and install moisture barriers as needed.

Laminate and vinyl can be walked on immediately after installation. Tile requires 24 hours before light foot traffic and 72 hours before heavy furniture is moved back. We provide full aftercare instructions.
