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 Reno
What is the best flooring for the money in Reno?
For a good balance of cost and performance in Reno, consider laminate or luxury vinyl plank (LVP). These options offer the look of wood at a lower price point and can better withstand the dry air and temperature changes common in the high desert. A pro can provide a quote based on your specific needs.
What is the 1-3 rule for flooring?
The 1-3 rule typically relates to wood flooring expansion. It suggests allowing about 1/8 inch of expansion space for every 3 feet of plank width. This is vital in Reno's climate where dry air can cause wood to contract. Professionals will ensure proper installation to prevent issues.
Which is better, vinyl plank or laminate?
Vinyl plank (LVP) generally offers superior water resistance compared to laminate, making it ideal for kitchens and bathrooms in Reno homes. Laminate can be a more budget-friendly choice for living areas, but it's less forgiving with moisture. A specialist can help you decide which is best for each room.
What type of flooring is most popular now?
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) continues to be a top choice for its durability and water resistance, fitting well with Reno's climate. Hardwood flooring remains a timeless favorite, and refinishing existing wood floors is a popular way to update them. Call for advice tailored to the Reno market.
What is the cheapest but best flooring?
How much does 1000 sq feet of flooring cost?
The cost for 1000 sq ft of flooring in Reno depends heavily on the material chosen, installation complexity, and any required subfloor preparation. For hardwood refinishing, the condition of the existing floors is a key factor. A no-obligation quote provides the most accurate estimate.
