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 Boston

What is the best flooring for the money in Boston?

What is the 1 3 rule for flooring?

The '1 3 rule' often refers to the idea that you should spend about one-third of your budget on the flooring material itself, one-third on installation, and one-third on subfloor preparation and finishing. This guideline helps ensure a well-balanced project. Discussing your specific needs with a pro will clarify costs.

Which is better, vinyl plank or laminate?

For historic Boston homes, preserving original hardwood is often preferred. However, if you're considering new flooring, vinyl plank offers excellent water resistance and durability, great for kitchens or basements. Laminate is a more budget-friendly option that mimics wood convincingly. A pro can explain the pros and cons for your situation.

What type of flooring is most popular now?

While hardwood remains a timeless favorite, especially in cities like Boston, luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is gaining popularity for its durability and water resistance. Engineered hardwood also offers stability. The best choice depends on your home's location within Boston and your lifestyle. Get expert advice for your specific needs.

What is the cheapest but best flooring?

The 'cheapest but best' flooring often comes down to finding value. Refinishing your existing hardwood floors can offer incredible value by restoring their beauty at a lower cost than new installation. For new flooring, well-chosen laminate or certain vinyl planks can provide good durability for the price. Call for a quote.
