The real problem

Worn Floors Don't Get Better. They Get Worse.

Scratches that catch the light. A finish that keeps looking older every year. Flooring that never matched the rest of the house to begin with. It's the one surface in the home you can't just paint over — replacing it changes how the whole room feels.

Tired of a floor that drags the room down? That's what gets replaced.

Solid wide-plank hardwood, natural grain and knots left in, run past a closet and through to the hallway.

Real wood

Hardwood Flooring

Solid hardwood is a long-lasting floor with real grain and warmth, and it can be sanded and refinished later. It fits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and stairs.

Florida tip: wood moves with humidity. Keep the A/C steady and let the planks settle in the house before they go down.

Water-resistant

Luxury Vinyl Plank

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) gives you the look of wood with a top layer that shrugs off water and daily wear. A good fit for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms and busy family areas.

Florida tip: LVP is water-resistant on top, but the subfloor underneath still has to be flat and dry. Mention your subfloor when you ask for a quote.

Wood look

Laminate Flooring

Laminate gives you a wood look that usually costs less than hardwood, and it goes down fast as a floating floor. It works well in bedrooms, offices and living areas.

Florida tip: laminate does not like standing water. Keep it out of bathrooms and wipe up spills quickly, especially in the wet months.

Classic pattern

Herringbone Flooring

Herringbone sets the planks in a zigzag pattern that gives a room a finished, custom look. It stands out in entryways, living rooms and bedrooms.

Florida tip: a pattern floor shows every gap, so the room needs a flat base and a planned layout before the first plank goes down.
