FAQ
Installation timelines vary depending on the type of flooring, room size, and project complexity. Here's what you can typically expect:
Single room (up to 200 sq ft): 1-2 days
Multiple rooms (500-1000 sq ft): 3-5 days
Whole home projects (1000+ sq ft): 5-10 days
Factors that can affect timeline include subfloor preparation needs, furniture moving requirements, and the complexity of the layout. We provide detailed timelines during your consultation and keep you informed of progress throughout the project.
Can hardwood floors be installed in Florida's humid climate?
Absolutely! Hardwood floors perform beautifully in Florida when properly installed and maintained. The key is choosing the right wood species and using proper installation techniques that account for humidity changes. We recommend engineered hardwood for areas with higher humidity levels, as it's more stable than solid hardwood. Our team understands Florida's climate challenges and uses installation methods that prevent common issues like cupping and gapping.
With proper care, hardwood floors typically need refinishing every 7-10 years in residential settings. High-traffic areas may require more frequent attention. Signs that your floors need refinishing include:
Visible scratches and wear patterns
Dull or faded finish
Water stains or discoloration
Exposed wood in high-traffic areas
Regular maintenance like proper cleaning and using protective pads under furniture can extend the time between refinishing projects.
Both options offer the beauty of real wood, but they have different construction and performance characteristics:
Solid Hardwood:
Made from a single piece of wood
Can be refinished multiple times
Best for above-grade installations
More susceptible to humidity changes
Engineered Hardwood:
Multiple layers with real wood veneer on top
More stable in humid conditions
Can be installed below grade
Limited refinishing options (typically 1-2 times)
For Florida homes, we often recommend engineered hardwood for its superior stability in our climate.
Quality LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) is indeed waterproof, making it an excellent choice for kitchens, bathrooms, and Florida homes where moisture is a concern. However, proper installation is crucial—seams must be properly sealed and the subfloor must be level to prevent water from getting underneath. We use professional installation techniques that ensure your LVP flooring provides long-lasting water protection.
Both are excellent options, but they have different strengths.
100% waterproof
More comfortable underfoot
Better for bathrooms and kitchens
Easier to repair individual planks
Often more affordable
Extremely durable surface
Wide variety of styles
Faster installation
We'll help you choose based on your specific needs, budget, and the rooms you're flooring.
In many cases, yes! LVP can often be installed over existing vinyl, tile, or hardwood floors if they're in good condition and properly prepared. This can save time and money on demolition costs. However, the existing floor must be:
Level and smooth
Securely attached to the subfloor
Free from moisture issues
Within height restrictions for doors and transitions
We'll assess your existing floors during consultation to determine if overlay installation is possible.
Proper installation is key to preventing tile cracks. Our process includes:
Thorough subfloor inspection and preparation
Using appropriate underlayment materials
Proper spacing and expansion joints
High-quality adhesives and grout
Allowing proper curing time
We also educate customers on proper maintenance to prevent issues that could lead to tile damage.
We take extensive precautions to protect your home:
Plastic sheeting to contain dust and debris
Floor protection in walkways and work areas
Careful furniture moving with protective padding
Daily cleanup to maintain a safe, clean environment
Proper ventilation when using adhesives or finishes
Respectful treatment of your property and belongings
Proper maintenance varies by flooring type, but general guidelines include:
Daily Care:
Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and debris
Clean spills immediately
Use doormats to reduce tracked-in dirt
Weekly Care:
Damp mop with appropriate cleaning products
Avoid excessive water on any flooring type
Ongoing Protection:
Use furniture pads to prevent scratches
Maintain consistent humidity levels (30-50%)
Trim pet nails regularly
Reapply protective finishes as recommended
We provide detailed care instructions specific to your flooring type after installation.
