What affects the price

The final price for your flooring project depends on a few moving parts. First, the material itself—hardwood or luxury vinyl—will shift the total significantly. You also have to consider the square footage of the space and the current condition of your subfloor. Tack on factors like stairs, furniture moving, and the complexity of the layout, and you have your total. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

If your existing wood floors have scratches, dull spots, or areas where the finish has worn off, refinishing is the solution. We sand down the top layer of the wood to remove imperfections and then apply a fresh coat of stain or sealant. This process restores the natural beauty of your home without the expense of a full replacement. You should look into this when your floors show visible wear but are still structurally sound.

Frequently asked in Bakersfield

What is the best flooring for the money?

For Bakersfield homes, luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is a great choice for its durability and water resistance, especially with the valley's climate. Engineered hardwood offers the look of real wood and is more stable in fluctuating temperatures. Refinishing existing hardwood floors is often the most cost-effective way to achieve a premium, high-value aesthetic.

What is the 1 3 rule for flooring?

The '1-3-2' rule is a common budgeting guideline for flooring projects. It suggests allocating one part of your budget for materials, three parts for installation, and two parts for subflooring and transitions. This helps Bakersfield homeowners estimate the total cost for projects like refinishing hardwood floors, ensuring all expenses are considered.

Which is better, vinyl plank or laminate?

Vinyl plank generally offers superior water resistance, making it ideal for kitchens and bathrooms in Bakersfield homes. Laminate can be more budget-friendly and mimics wood or tile very well. Vinyl plank also tends to be quieter and more comfortable underfoot. The best choice depends on the room's intended use and your aesthetic preferences.

What type of flooring is most popular now?

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) remains a top trend due to its resilience, waterproof capabilities, and wide array of styles. Engineered hardwood is also highly favored for its natural appeal and stability. Many Bakersfield residents are seeking flooring that is both stylish and practical for active households. Refinishing hardwood is a classic choice that always adds value.

What is the cheapest but best flooring?

For an economical yet quality option in Bakersfield, consider laminate flooring or high-quality vinyl. Laminate provides a wood or tile look at a lower price point and is quite durable. Vinyl, especially sheet vinyl, is very budget-friendly and offers good water resistance. Refinishing your existing hardwood floors is often the most cost-effective way to get a premium finish.
