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 New Orleans

What is the best flooring for the money in New Orleans?

What is the 1 3 rule for flooring?

The 1-3 rule often relates to limiting transition strips between different flooring types, suggesting one transition per three rooms for a more cohesive look. This helps maintain a smooth visual flow throughout your New Orleans residence. A flooring professional can advise on the best implementation for your layout.

Which is better, vinyl plank or laminate?

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) offers superior water resistance, making it an excellent choice for moisture-prone areas like kitchens and bathrooms in New Orleans. Laminate can be a more budget-friendly option for living rooms and bedrooms, providing a realistic wood appearance. The best choice depends on the room's use and moisture levels.

What type of flooring is most popular now?

Luxury vinyl plank continues to be a top choice for its versatility, durability, and water resistance, which is crucial in humid climates. Hardwood and engineered wood remain popular for their classic beauty. Ask a local pro about the latest trends and what fits your New Orleans lifestyle.
