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 Milwaukee

What is the best flooring for the money?

For a balance of cost and durability, many homeowners in Milwaukee find luxury vinyl plank (LVP) to be a great option. It mimics the look of wood or stone at a lower price point and is resistant to moisture, making it ideal for kitchens and bathrooms. LVP is also relatively easy to maintain and can hold up well to daily wear and tear in busy households.

What is the 1 3 rule for flooring?

Which is better, vinyl plank or laminate?

In Milwaukee, both vinyl plank and laminate are popular choices for their affordability and aesthetics. Vinyl plank generally offers superior water resistance, making it a safer bet for areas prone to spills or humidity like bathrooms. Laminate can offer a more authentic wood feel but is more susceptible to water damage. The best choice depends on your specific needs and the rooms where it will be installed.

What type of flooring is most popular now?

Currently, luxury vinyl plank (LVP) continues to be a top contender across the country and in Milwaukee. Its waterproof capabilities, realistic designs, and ease of maintenance make it a versatile choice for many homes. Hardwood floors, especially when refinished, also remain highly sought after for their timeless appeal and ability to add significant value.

What is the cheapest but best flooring?

Finding the 'cheapest but best' flooring often involves considering value over just initial cost. While laminate can be very budget-friendly and offers a good wood look, it's not as durable or water-resistant as LVP. For a long-lasting, budget-conscious option in Milwaukee, look into high-quality laminate or entry-level LVP that offers good wear resistance for its price.

How much does 1000 sq feet of flooring cost?

The cost for 1000 sq feet of flooring in Milwaukee can vary significantly based on the material chosen, installation complexity, and any necessary subfloor preparation. Basic laminate might be on the lower end, while high-end hardwood or premium LVP will be more. To get an accurate idea, you'll need a quote tailored to your specific project from the pros.
