What affects the price

The final price for your flooring project depends on a few moving parts. First, the material itself plays a huge role; natural hardwood or premium stone will cost more than laminate or vinyl. You also have to consider the condition of your subfloor. If the installers need to pull up old carpet, level out uneven surfaces, or fix water damage before laying the new product, that adds time and labor. The total square footage and the layout of the room, including corners and closets, also affect the scope. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

Refinishing contractors specialize in sanding down existing hardwood floors to remove deep scratches, dents, and old stain. After sanding, they apply a fresh coat of sealant or stain to restore the original beauty of the wood. You need this service if your floors are structurally sound but look dull or worn from heavy foot traffic. It is a cost-effective way to revitalize your home without the expense of a full floor replacement or new material installation.

Frequently asked in Boston

What is the best flooring for the money in Boston?

For value in Boston, consider durable options like luxury vinyl plank or engineered hardwood. They offer the look of traditional wood at a more accessible price point and hold up well to Boston's climate. Ask the pros for advice specific to your home's needs and traffic patterns.

What is the 1 3 rule for flooring?

The 1-to-3 rule often refers to the ratio of the length of flooring planks to their width, suggesting a pleasing visual proportion. It's a design guideline to ensure planks look natural and balanced in a room. The specialists you speak with can discuss how different plank sizes will look in your Boston home.

Which is better, vinyl plank or laminate?

Both are popular in Boston for their durability and water resistance. Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) generally offers better moisture protection and a softer feel underfoot. Laminate can be a more budget-friendly option. The pros can explain the nuances for your specific situation.

Right now, wide-plank engineered hardwood and luxury vinyl plank are highly sought after. People love the modern look and the resilience these materials offer, especially in busy households. These trends are very much present in Boston homes.
