What affects the price
The final amount for your new floors depends on a few specific things. First, it comes down to the material you choose, whether that is hardwood, luxury vinyl, or carpet. The size of the area being covered and how much prep work the subfloor needs will also play a role. If your rooms have complex layouts or lots of corners, that often adds labor time. Every home is unique, so we help you get an exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
About this service
This service is specifically for homeowners who want to refresh their existing hardwood without tearing it out. We assess the thickness of your boards to ensure they can handle sanding, then remove the old finish, repair deep gouges, and apply a new protective layer. It is the best way to change the color of your floors or simply hide years of traffic. If your floors are structurally sound but look worn out, this is the right service for you.
Frequently asked in Arlington
What is the best flooring for the money?
For the best value, refinishing existing hardwood floors is often the most cost-effective way to achieve a beautiful, updated look. While materials like luxury vinyl plank offer affordability, revitalizing your current hardwood can be significantly cheaper than a full replacement. A professional in Arlington can assess your floors to determine if refinishing is your smartest financial and aesthetic choice.
What is the 1 3 rule for flooring?
The '1-3 rule' in flooring typically refers to a waste factor, suggesting you might need three linear feet of material for every one linear foot installed to account for cuts. However, experienced installers in Arlington are adept at precise measurements and calculating material needs based on your room's unique layout. They minimize waste and ensure you have just the right amount for your project.
Which is better, vinyl plank or laminate?
Vinyl plank and laminate flooring are both popular for their wood-like appearance and durability. Vinyl plank is generally more water-resistant, making it a great choice for high-moisture areas. Laminate can be more resistant to scratches and often offers a more varied texture. The best option for your Arlington home depends on the room's usage and your specific priorities. Get tailored advice when you call.
What type of flooring is most popular now?
Currently, luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is extremely popular for its durability, water resistance, and diverse styles that mimic natural materials. Engineered hardwood also remains a top choice, offering real wood beauty with enhanced stability. However, the timeless appeal of refinished hardwood floors continues to make them a highly sought-after option for homeowners in Arlington looking for classic elegance.
What is the cheapest but best flooring?
The 'cheapest but best' often comes down to long-term value. While initial material costs for options like laminate can be low, refinishing your existing hardwood floors in Arlington can provide superior beauty and durability for a comparable or even lower overall investment. A professional can assess your current floors and give you the best advice for achieving both affordability and lasting quality.
