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?

What is the 1 3 rule for flooring?

The '1 3 rule' typically involves leaving a 1/3 inch expansion gap around the perimeter of floating floors. This allows the flooring to expand and contract with changes in humidity and temperature, which is critical in New Orleans. Pros ensure this is done properly.

Which is better, vinyl plank or laminate?

Vinyl plank (LVP) generally provides superior water resistance, making it a wise choice for kitchens and bathrooms in New Orleans' climate. Laminate is often more cost-effective and can achieve a very realistic wood appearance. Pros can help you decide.

What type of flooring is most popular now?

Hardwood flooring remains a consistent favorite, alongside realistic LVP. Homeowners love the natural beauty and warmth. For New Orleans homes, pros often suggest materials that can withstand high humidity and potential moisture.

What is the cheapest but best flooring?

Laminate and certain LVP options often provide the best combination of affordability and quality. They offer a wood-like aesthetic without the high cost. The pros can guide you to cost-effective solutions that look great.
