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 Birmingham

What's the best flooring for the money in Birmingham homes?

For excellent value and appearance in Birmingham homes, luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is a top choice. It offers impressive durability and a realistic wood or stone look at a more affordable price than natural materials. LVP is also quite water-resistant, a bonus for Alabama's humidity.

What is the 1 3 rule for flooring?

The '1-3 rule' often refers to the minimum expansion gap, about 1/3 of an inch, required around the perimeter of wood or laminate flooring. This allows the material to expand and contract with humidity changes, a common occurrence in the Birmingham climate, preventing damage. Proper installation is key.

Which is better, vinyl plank or laminate?

Vinyl plank is generally more water-resistant and durable, making it ideal for kitchens and basements in Birmingham homes. Laminate can be a more budget-friendly option and offers a wide array of wood-look styles. The pros can help you determine which is best for your specific needs.

What type of flooring is most popular now?

Luxury vinyl plank and engineered hardwood are currently very popular in Birmingham. Homeowners appreciate the aesthetic appeal, durability, and low maintenance these flooring types offer for their busy lifestyles. They provide a sophisticated look that complements many home styles.

What's the cheapest but best flooring?

For a cost-effective yet attractive solution, consider laminate or certain types of vinyl flooring. These options can mimic the look of wood or stone at a lower price point, offering good wear resistance for everyday use. Discuss your budget with the experts for the best value.
