Flooring Installation
Do you install customer-supplied flooring?
Yes. We can install materials you’ve purchased as long as they meet quality standards for your project. This gives you flexibility in sourcing products you love.
How do you prepare the subfloor before installation?
We ensure it’s clean, level, and dry to guarantee a long-lasting installation. This step is critical to prevent squeaks, gaps, or movement later.
How long does installation take?
Most projects are completed in a few days, depending on the size and complexity. We’ll provide a clear timeline before we begin so you know what to expect.
Do you offer in-home consultations?
Yes. We bring samples, measure your space, and discuss your options on-site, making it easier to choose the perfect flooring for your home.
Hardwood Flooring
What’s the difference between unfinished and pre-finished hardwood?
Unfinished hardwood is sanded and finished on-site, allowing for custom stain colors and a smooth, flush surface. Pre-finished hardwood has a durable factory coating and installs faster. We help you choose based on your timeline, style preferences, and the overall look you want to achieve.
How long do real wood floors last?
With proper care, solid hardwood floors can last 100+ years, making them one of the most sustainable flooring options available. They can be refinished multiple times over the decades, allowing you to refresh their look or restore their original beauty.
Can you match new hardwood to my existing floors?
Yes. We specialize in lacing in new planks and staining them to blend seamlessly with your current flooring. This allows you to expand or repair areas without having to replace the entire floor.
Do you repair scratches or water damage in hardwood?
Absolutely. We offer restoration and repair services to fix surface damage, replace damaged boards, and refinish the area for a uniform look. Our process ensures the repaired section looks and performs like the rest of your floor.

Engineered Wood Flooring
How is engineered wood different from solid hardwood?
Engineered wood has a real wood veneer over a stable plywood base, making it more resistant to moisture and temperature changes. This structure is ideal for certain rooms where solid hardwood may not perform as well, such as basements or over radiant heat.
Can you refinish engineered wood floors?
In many cases, yes — depending on the thickness of the top veneer. We’ll assess your flooring to determine if it can be sanded and refinished without damaging the surface.
Is engineered wood good for basements or humid areas?
Yes. Its layered design makes it more dimensionally stable, reducing the risk of warping or cupping in moisture-prone environments. We can help you select an option designed to perform in your specific space.
Do you install engineered wood I’ve already purchased?
Yes. We’re happy to install client-supplied materials, as long as they meet quality standards. We’ll also ensure they’re properly acclimated to your home before installation for the best results.

Hardwood Refinishing & Sanding
What is dust-free sanding?
It’s a process using specialized equipment that captures most of the dust created during sanding, keeping your home cleaner and healthier during the project.
How often should I refinish my hardwood floors?
Typically every 7–10 years, or sooner if the finish is worn or damaged. Refinishing extends the life of your floor and keeps it looking fresh.
Can you change the color of my hardwood floors?
Yes. Refinishing allows us to sand off the old finish and apply a new stain in the color you choose. This can completely transform the look of your space without replacing the floor.
Will refinishing remove deep scratches and dents?
In most cases, yes. Our sanding process smooths the surface and prepares it for a fresh finish, restoring both beauty and durability.

Laminate Flooring
Is laminate waterproof?
Most laminate is water-resistant, not fully waterproof. We can recommend high-quality options designed to handle occasional spills and busy household traffic.
What’s the difference between laminate and LVP?
Laminate has a fiberboard core and is not waterproof, while LVP is vinyl-based and fully waterproof. We’ll guide you on which option fits your space best based on durability and moisture exposure.
Can you install laminate over existing floors?
Yes, if the current floor is flat, clean, and stable. We’ll prepare the surface to ensure the new floor lays evenly and lasts.
How durable is laminate for homes with kids and pets?
Laminate resists scratches and dents, making it ideal for active households. It’s also available in a wide range of styles to match your home’s décor.
Check out this service page to learn more about Laminate Flooring.
Tile Flooring
Is tile flooring good for kitchens and bathrooms?
Yes. Tile is waterproof, durable, and easy to clean—making it a top choice for high-moisture spaces like showers and kitchens.
What’s the difference between ceramic and porcelain tile?
Porcelain is denser and more water-resistant, great for floors and showers. Ceramic is lighter, more affordable, and perfect for backsplashes and walls.
What designs are trending for tile right now?
Large-format tiles, subway tile backsplashes, and patterned encaustic designs are popular for Bluffton kitchens and baths.

Luxury Vinyl Flooring
What’s the difference between LVP, laminate, and hardwood?
LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) is waterproof and highly durable. Laminate is scratch-resistant but not fully waterproof. Hardwood is real wood, timeless, but more sensitive to moisture.
Is vinyl plank a good choice for Bluffton’s humid climate?
Yes. Because it’s waterproof, vinyl plank handles moisture and humidity better than many other flooring types, making it ideal for Lowcountry living.
How long does vinyl plank flooring typically last?
High-quality LVP can last 20+ years with proper care, making it one of the longest-lasting flooring options.
Is vinyl plank flooring pet-friendly?
Definitely. LVP resists scratches, stains, and moisture, making it a top choice for homes with dogs or cats.
What flooring trends are popular right now?
Wide planks, natural wood-look tones, and textured surfaces are among the most popular vinyl plank styles in Bluffton homes.

Restorations & Repairs
Can you fix water-damaged hardwood floors?
Yes. We replace damaged boards, dry the affected area, and refinish to match the rest of the floor. This process restores the integrity and appearance of your flooring.
Do you repair hardwood stairs?
Absolutely. We can restore or replace treads, risers, and railings, ensuring they’re safe, functional, and visually cohesive with your flooring.
What’s lacing in, and when is it used?
Lacing in is weaving new planks into existing flooring to create a seamless transition between old and new areas. It’s ideal for expansions or partial repairs.
Can you repair small areas without refinishing the whole floor?
Yes. Spot repairs are possible, and we’ll match the stain and finish to blend with your existing flooring. This is a cost-effective solution when only a small section is damaged.
