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 Urban Honolulu
What is the best flooring for the money in Honolulu?
The best flooring for your money often depends on durability and maintenance needs, especially with Honolulu's humidity. While hardwood offers classic appeal, consider options like luxury vinyl plank (LVP) for its water resistance and ease of care. Pros can discuss which materials hold up best in our island climate.
What is the 1-3 rule for flooring?
The 1-3 rule generally refers to the expansion and contraction of wood flooring due to moisture. It suggests leaving about 1/8 inch of expansion gap for every 3 inches of flooring width. This is crucial for preventing buckling, especially in humid environments like ours.
Which is better, vinyl plank or laminate?
For many homes in Urban Honolulu, vinyl plank often edges out laminate due to its superior water resistance. Laminate can swell and warp if exposed to significant moisture, which is a common concern here. Vinyl plank offers better protection against spills and humidity.
What type of flooring is most popular now?
Currently, luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and engineered hardwood are very popular. LVP is sought after for its durability, water resistance, and wide range of styles. Engineered hardwood offers the look of real wood with better stability in varying humidity levels.
What is the cheapest but best flooring?
Finding the 'cheapest but best' involves balancing initial cost with long-term value. While sheet vinyl or some laminate might be cheapest upfront, LVP often provides better durability and water resistance for a slightly higher initial investment. Discuss your budget and needs with the pros.
