Flooring

Flooring done right,
demo to baseboards.

Dustin or Kristin walks every flooring quote with our flooring lead. LVP, hardwood, tile, carpet — honest material guidance, not whatever has the best margin.

What we install.

Prices below are typical Austin-metro ranges for 2026. Final number depends on subfloor condition, material choice, and the size of the job.

  • Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)

    Waterproof, scratch-resistant, real-wood look. Best value for most Austin homes.

    $4–$8 / sq ft installed

  • Engineered hardwood

    Real wood top layer, plywood core. Stable in Texas humidity. Refinishable once or twice.

    $8–$14 / sq ft installed

  • Solid hardwood

    Classic, decades-long lifespan, refinishable many times. Best for bedrooms and living spaces.

    $10–$18 / sq ft installed

  • Tile (porcelain or ceramic)

    Bathrooms, kitchens, entryways, outdoor patios. Massive style range.

    $8–$16 / sq ft installed

  • Carpet

    Bedrooms and family rooms — warm, quiet, kid-friendly. Lots of stain-resistant options.

    $3–$7 / sq ft installed

Common questions.

How long does a flooring install take?+

Most single-room installs are 1–2 days. Whole-home replacements (1,500–2,500 sq ft) are usually 3–6 days depending on material and demo scope.

Do you handle the demo too?+

Yes — demo is included by default. We pull up old carpet, vinyl, tile, or hardwood, prep the subfloor, and haul everything off.

Will you move my furniture?+

Yes, for most rooms. Heavy appliances (refrigerators, washers) we'll discuss case-by-case — sometimes worth bringing in movers for those.

What's the best floor for a Texas climate?+

Honest answer: LVP wins for most homes — waterproof, dimensionally stable, looks great, friendly to pets and kids. Engineered hardwood is the next step up if you want real wood without solid hardwood's price.

Do you supply the material or do I?+

Either works. We can supply at our wholesale pricing or install material you've already purchased. We'll be honest if we think a product won't hold up.
