Hardwood Flooring
Timeless, warm, and adds real value to your home. Solid hardwood can be sanded and refinished for decades, making it a lifetime investment. Best for living rooms, bedrooms, and dining areas.
- Water resistance
- Durability
- Comfort underfoot
- Cost
- $ $ $ $
Solid hardwood is milled from a single piece of wood, usually oak, maple, hickory or walnut. It comes prefinished from the factory or is stained and finished on site so the color matches the rest of your home exactly.
Good to know
- Can be sanded and refinished many times over its life.
- Not a good fit for bathrooms, basements or anywhere that stays damp.
- Coastal humidity makes wood move, so we let it acclimate in your home before install.
What our install includes
- Subfloor inspection, repairs and leveling
- Acclimation and moisture readings
- Nail-down installation, transitions and base trim
Great for: Kitchen, Bathroom, Basement, Living & dining, Pets & kids
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)
The look of real wood without the worry. LVP is waterproof, scratch-resistant, and easy to maintain, a smart choice for busy households, pets, and coastal humidity. Ideal for kitchens, basements, and high-traffic areas.
- Water resistance
- Durability
- Comfort underfoot
- Cost
- $ $ $ $
Today’s rigid-core LVP has a printed wood look under a tough wear layer, so it handles spills, muddy paws and heavy foot traffic. Planks click together and float over an underlayment, which keeps install fast and the floor quiet.
Good to know
- Fully waterproof, so it works where hardwood can’t.
- A damaged plank can be swapped out instead of refinishing the whole floor.
- Long hours of direct sun can fade some colors, so we help you pick a UV-stable line.
What our install includes
- Subfloor flattening so seams stay tight
- Moisture barrier and sound-reducing underlayment
- Click-lock install, transitions and base trim
Great for: Kitchen, Bathroom, Pets & kids
Tile Flooring
Durable, water-resistant, and endlessly customizable. From porcelain to natural stone, tile holds up to moisture and wear better than almost anything. Perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, entryways, and mudrooms.
- Water resistance

- Comfort underfoot
- Cost
- $ $ $ $
Porcelain, ceramic, marble, slate and more, in patterns from simple stacked layouts to checkerboard and herringbone. Tile lasts as long as the house when it goes over the right base, which is where most of our prep time goes.
Good to know
- Hard and cool underfoot. Radiant floor heat underneath fixes both.
- Natural stone and grout should be sealed to resist stains.
- Labor is a bigger share of the cost because of prep, layout and grouting.
What our install includes
- Cement board or crack-isolation membrane
- Layout planning so cuts land in the right places
- Setting, grouting, sealing and transitions
Great for: Living & dining, Bedroom, Basement
Engineered Hardwood
Real wood on top, a stable layered core underneath. Engineered hardwood stands up to coastal humidity better than solid wood and can go over concrete and radiant heat. Great for living areas, bedrooms, and finished basements.
- Water resistance
- Durability
- Comfort underfoot
- Cost
- $ $ $ $
Each plank has a top layer of real hardwood bonded to cross-layered plywood. That construction keeps it from cupping and gapping as the seasons change, which makes it a strong choice for homes near the water.
Good to know
- Looks and feels the same as solid hardwood once it’s down.
- Can be refinished one to three times, depending on the thickness of the top layer.
- Still real wood, so standing water and full bathrooms are off the table.
What our install includes
- Subfloor or slab check, with moisture testing on concrete
- Glue-down, nail-down or floating install, whichever suits the space
- Transitions, stair nosing and base trim
Great for: Living & dining, Bedroom, Pets & kids
Laminate Flooring
A realistic wood look at a friendlier price. Laminate has a hard, scratch-resistant surface that shrugs off pets and kids. A smart pick for bedrooms, living rooms, home offices, and rentals.
- Water resistance
- Durability
- Comfort underfoot
- Cost
- $ $ $ $
Laminate is a high-density fiberboard core topped with a photographic wood layer and a clear, very hard wear surface. Newer water-resistant lines handle everyday spills, and the surface resists scratches better than most real wood.
Good to know
- Often the most budget-friendly way to get a wood look.
- Water-resistant, not waterproof. Wipe up spills and skip full bathrooms.
- Can’t be refinished, but it holds its look for years.
What our install includes
- Subfloor leveling and prep
- Underlayment for sound and comfort
- Floating click-lock install, transitions and base trim
Great for: Bedroom, Basement
Carpet
Soft, warm, and quiet underfoot. Carpet is the most comfortable floor you can stand on and helps keep sound from traveling between floors. Best for bedrooms, stairs, and family rooms.
- Water resistance
- Durability
- Comfort underfoot
- Cost
- $ $ $ $
Choose from stain-resistant nylon and polyester or natural wool, in plush, textured and low-pile styles. The pad underneath matters as much as the carpet, so we match the right pad to how each room is used.
Good to know
- Adds warmth and cuts noise, especially on upper floors.
- Stain-resistant fibers make it easier to live with kids and pets.
- Needs regular vacuuming and occasional deep cleaning.
What our install includes
- Old flooring removal and subfloor prep
- Quality pad matched to the room
