Most flooring complaints come from what's underneath: a bouncy or uneven subfloor, no expansion gap, or a transition nobody planned. We pull the old floor, fix squeaks and soft spots, flatten where needed, and only then install.
Luxury vinyl plank is our most-requested floor for families with kids and pets and for Auburn rentals, because it's waterproof, tough and affordable. We also install tile, engineered hardwood and laminate, and we'll tell you which fits the room and the budget.

Why homeowners pick us for this
Subfloor first
We fix what's under the floor before we cover it, so it stays flat and quiet.
Finished edges
Baseboards, transitions and door jambs are cut and finished by carpenters, not caulked over.
Turnover-friendly scheduling
Landlords: we schedule between move-out and move-in and work alongside paint.
What drives the price
LVP installed with old floor removal typically runs $1,800–$3,500 for one or two rooms, $5,000–$9,000 for main living areas (~1,000 sq ft) and $9,000–$16,000 for a whole ~2,000 sq ft home. Tile and hardwood run higher.
Material
LVP wear layer and thickness, tile size and hardwood species change material cost significantly.
Subfloor condition
Leveling, replacing water-damaged plywood or fixing squeaks adds labor.
Stairs
Each stair is hand-fitted and priced separately.
Removal
Glued-down tile or carpet with tack strip takes longer to remove than floating floors.
No surprises. That's the whole process.
Four steps, clearly communicated, so you always know where your project stands.
Walkthrough
We come to the house, listen to what you want, measure, and talk honestly about what's possible and what it costs.
Written estimate
A clear scope, line-item pricing and a realistic timeline in writing. No vague "we'll see" numbers.
Build
Permits pulled, trades scheduled, site kept clean. You get updates as the work happens, not after.
Final walkthrough
We walk every inch with you, handle the punch list, and don't call it done until you do.
Guides for this project
Frequently asked questions
Is LVP really waterproof?
The planks are. Water can still get under the floor at edges and seams, so we seal wet areas and install with the right expansion gaps and transitions.
Can you install over my existing floor?
Sometimes over flat vinyl or tile, but most of the time removing it gives a better, longer-lasting result. We'll check on the walkthrough.
How quickly can you do a rental?
A typical 3-bedroom rental in LVP is 2–4 days, and we can coordinate paint at the same time.
