FAQ

How long does flooring installation typically take?

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.

Do I need to move my furniture before installation?

Can hardwood floors be installed in Florida's humid climate?

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.

How often do hardwood floors need refinishing?

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.

What's the difference between solid and engineered hardwood?

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.

Is LVP really waterproof?

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.

How does LVP compare to laminate flooring?

Both are excellent options, but they have different strengths.

LVP Advantages:

100% waterproof

More comfortable underfoot

Better for bathrooms and kitchens

Easier to repair individual planks

Laminate Advantages:

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.

Can LVP be installed over existing 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.

How do you prevent tile from cracking?

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.

How do you protect my home during installation?

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

How do I maintain my new floors?

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.
