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 Des Moines

What is the best flooring for the money?

For value in Des Moines, laminate and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) often deliver a great balance of price and performance. LVP is particularly popular for its water resistance and durability. A pro can help you compare materials based on your budget and how you use your home.

What is the 1-3 rule for flooring?

The 1-3 rule typically refers to the expansion gap needed for floating floors, usually around 1/4 inch per foot of width, up to 3/8 inch. This allows the flooring to expand and contract with temperature and humidity. Proper gaps are vital for preventing buckling and ensuring longevity in Des Moines homes.

Which is better, vinyl plank or laminate?

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) offers superior water resistance, making it ideal for kitchens and bathrooms in Des Moines. Laminate can be more budget-friendly and mimic the look of real wood. A specialist can help you decide which is best for your specific needs.

What type of flooring is most popular now?

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and engineered hardwood are currently trending strong. LVP is favored for its resilience and design variety. Engineered hardwood provides the authentic look of natural wood. These are popular choices for Des Moines residents seeking both style and practicality.

What is the cheapest but best flooring?

For an economical yet good quality option, consider laminate or vinyl plank flooring. They can offer attractive looks similar to real wood or stone at a lower price. The 'best' choice depends on your specific needs for durability and appearance in your Des Moines home.
