Common Questions About Flooring & Remodeling — Answered Straight

It depends on square footage and complexity. A standard 1,200-1,800 sq ft install runs 2-3 days. Whole-home projects over 2,500 sq ft take 4-5 days. Jobs with complicated transitions, lots of doorways, or uneven subfloors that need prep work take longer. Marco gives you a specific timeline — usually days, not a vague "1-2 weeks."

Yes, standard furniture gets moved and put back. Exceptions: pianos, gun safes, appliances that need to be disconnected, or items you prefer to move yourself. We go over this at the estimate so there are no surprises day one.

Hardwood is real wood — looks and feels premium, can be refinished 4-5 times over its life. LVP is engineered vinyl that mimics hardwood visually but handles moisture and concrete subfloors better.

Marco gives you both options with samples so you can decide based on your specific home and budget.

Sometimes you can tile over existing tile if the original is firmly bonded and the height difference won't cause problems at transitions. More often, it's better to remove the old tile first so we can inspect the substrate and confirm good adhesion. Marco assesses this at the estimate — there's no blanket answer because it depends on the specific situation.

A cosmetic refresh (new counters, backsplash, cabinet hardware, flooring) typically runs $8,000 to $15,000. A mid-range remodel with new cabinets, counters, and tile runs $18,000 to $30,000. A full gut-and-replace with custom cabinets and high-end materials can hit $40,000 to $60,000+. The 3D design mockup process helps you see what different budget levels actually look like in your space.
