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

If your existing wood floors have scratches, dull spots, or signs of heavy wear, refinishing is the solution. We sand down the top layer to remove surface damage and apply a fresh coat of stain or sealant to restore the natural beauty of the wood. This process is much more affordable than a full replacement and brings life back to older floors. You should look into this when the wood underneath is still in good shape but the surface has lost its luster.

Frequently asked in Boston

What is the best flooring for the money in Boston?

What is the 1 3 rule for flooring?

The 1-3 rule for flooring typically refers to the expansion gap needed around the perimeter of a room, especially for wood or laminate. This gap, usually 1/4 to 3/8 inch, allows the material to expand and contract with changes in humidity common in Boston's seasons. It prevents buckling.

Which is better, vinyl plank or laminate?

For Boston homes, vinyl plank often wins for its superior water resistance, making it ideal for kitchens and basements. Laminate can be a good choice for drier areas and often offers a slightly more authentic wood feel. Pros can guide you based on traffic and moisture levels.

What type of flooring is most popular now?

Currently, LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) is very popular across Boston for its durability and style versatility. It offers a realistic wood or stone look and holds up well to foot traffic, which is common in a busy city like Boston. Pros can show you the latest trends.
