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.
This service is specifically for homeowners who want to refresh their existing hardwood without tearing it out. We assess the thickness of your boards to ensure they can handle sanding, then remove the old finish, repair deep gouges, and apply a new protective layer. It is the best way to change the color of your floors or simply hide years of traffic. If your floors are structurally sound but look worn out, this is the right service for you.
For excellent value, luxury vinyl plank and laminate flooring are top contenders. They offer durability and appealing aesthetics at a more accessible price point. When you call for your free estimate, we can discuss how these compare to refinishing your existing wood floors.
The '1-3-1' rule typically refers to expansion gaps for wood flooring installation: 1 inch at walls, 3 inches at transitions, and 1 inch around cabinets. This prevents issues like buckling. We can explain these details during your consultation in Rochester.
Vinyl plank offers superior water resistance, making it ideal for high-moisture areas. Laminate is often more scratch-resistant and can have a more authentic wood appearance. Both are good choices for budget-conscious homeowners in Rochester.
Currently, wide-plank engineered hardwood and luxury vinyl plank are extremely popular. They offer a contemporary look and excellent durability. If you're considering refinishing, we can help you achieve a modern aesthetic for your Rochester home.
