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.

Frequently asked in Boston

What is the best flooring for the money in Boston?

The professionals can discuss how to get the most out of your current wood, even if it has some wear. They'll explain what affects the cost of refinishing.

What is the 1-3 rule for flooring?

This is just a general guideline, and the pros can give you a more precise idea for your specific Boston project.
