FAQ

We offer furniture moving services as part of our comprehensive installation package. Our team will carefully move and protect your furniture during the installation process. For valuable or fragile items, we recommend moving them to a safe location beforehand. We'll discuss furniture logistics during your consultation to ensure everything is properly planned.

Absolutely! Hardwood floors perform beautifully in Florida when properly installed and maintained. The key is choosing the right wood species and using proper installation techniques that account for humidity changes. We recommend engineered hardwood for areas with higher humidity levels, as it's more stable than solid hardwood. Our team understands Florida's climate challenges and uses installation methods that prevent common issues like cupping and gapping.

With proper care, hardwood floors typically need refinishing every 7-10 years in residential settings. High-traffic areas may require more frequent attention. Signs that your floors need refinishing include:
Visible scratches and wear patterns

• Dull or faded finish
• Water stains or discoloration
• Exposed wood in high-traffic areas

Regular maintenance like proper cleaning and using protective pads under furniture can extend the time between refinishing projects.

Both options offer the beauty of real wood, but they have different construction and performance characteristics:

Solid Hardwood:

• Made from a single piece of wood
• Can be refinished multiple times
• Best for above-grade installations
• More susceptible to humidity changes

Engineered Hardwood:

• Multiple layers with real wood veneer on top
• More stable in humid conditions
• Can be installed below grade
• Limited refinishing options (typically 1-2 times)

For Florida homes, we often recommend engineered hardwood for its superior stability in our climate.

Quality LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) is indeed waterproof, making it an excellent choice for kitchens, bathrooms, and Florida homes where moisture is a concern. However, proper installation is crucial—seams must be properly sealed and the subfloor must be level to prevent water from getting underneath. We use professional installation techniques that ensure your LVP flooring provides long-lasting water protection.

Both are excellent options, but they have different strengths:

LVP Advantages:

• 100% waterproof
• More comfortable underfoot
• Better for bathrooms and kitchens
• Easier to repair individual planks

Laminate Advantages:

• Often more affordable
• Extremely durable surface
• Wide variety of styles
• Faster installation

We'll help you choose based on your specific needs, budget, and the rooms you're flooring.

In many cases, yes! LVP can often be installed over existing vinyl, tile, or hardwood floors if they're in good condition and properly prepared. This can save time and money on demolition costs. However, the existing floor must be:

• Level and smooth
• Securely attached to the subfloor
• Free from moisture issues
• Within height restrictions for doors and transitions

We'll assess your existing floors during consultation to determine if overlay installation is possible.

Proper installation is key to preventing tile cracks. Our process includes:

• Thorough subfloor inspection and preparation
• Using appropriate underlayment materials
• Proper spacing and expansion joints
• High-quality adhesives and grout
• Allowing proper curing time

We also educate customers on proper maintenance to prevent issues that could lead to tile damage.

 We take extensive precautions to protect your home:

• Plastic sheeting to contain dust and debris
• Floor protection in walkways and work areas
• Careful furniture moving with protective padding
• Daily cleanup to maintain a safe, clean environment
• Proper ventilation when using adhesives or finishes
• Respectful treatment of your property and belongings

Proper maintenance varies by flooring type, but general guidelines include:

Daily Care:

• Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and debris
• Clean spills immediately
• Use doormats to reduce tracked-in dirt

Weekly Care:

• Damp mop with appropriate cleaning products
• Avoid excessive water on any flooring type

Ongoing Protection:

• Use furniture pads to prevent scratches
• Maintain consistent humidity levels (30-50%)
• Trim pet nails regularly
• Reapply protective finishes as recommended

We provide detailed care instructions specific to your flooring type after installation.
