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.

What is the 1 3 rule for flooring?

The '1-3 rule' in flooring typically refers to the expansion gap measurement, usually one-third of an inch, around the perimeter of a room. This gap is crucial for materials like hardwood or laminate to allow for natural expansion and contraction with changes in temperature and humidity, preventing buckling. Pros ensure this is done correctly in Des Moines homes.
