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 Minneapolis
What is the best flooring for the money?
For Minneapolis homes, luxury vinyl plank (LVP) offers excellent value due to its durability and water resistance, crucial for changing seasons. Engineered hardwood is also a strong contender, providing the look of real wood with better stability in varying humidity. Refinishing existing hardwood floors is often the most cost-effective way to achieve a premium aesthetic.
What is the 1 3 rule for flooring?
The '1-3-2' rule is a budgeting guideline for flooring projects, suggesting a ratio of 1 for materials, 3 for installation, and 2 for subflooring and transitions. This helps Minneapolis homeowners estimate the total cost for projects like refinishing hardwood floors. It ensures you account for all necessary components beyond just the initial material purchase.
Which is better, vinyl plank or laminate?
Vinyl plank generally offers superior water resistance, making it ideal for kitchens and bathrooms in Minneapolis 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 qualities, and wide variety of styles. Engineered hardwood is also highly favored for its natural appeal and stability. Many Minneapolis 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 Minneapolis, 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.
