"I started with looking for someone to install flooring we had picked out somewhere else, but had not purchase yet. Dan came over and was willing to do the job, but when we showed him the sample of what we thought we wanted he suggested we take a look at the samples he had. We are so glad we went with his suggestion, our floors are beautiful! The workmanship of his crew is top notch and fast. I highly recommend Floor Coverings International."

Customers say: Quality work

"A very responsive and knowledgeable company. I worked with Miguel and he came over and gave a very reasonable estimate. His team came in and plastic'd over everything (and I mean *everything*) so that no dust ended up on our pictures, kitchen, or anywhere else for that matter. The end result was better than I had expected - 20 years of life, dogs, beach sand, etc had brought many areas of the floor down to bare wood and very dulled finish (where any finish was left) - the brought it back to its former glory. Great work and I will definitely call them again if needed."

"Peter our sales person was very friendly, low pressure and informative. The installers were quick and got the job done in 1 day. We had our hallway and 2 bedrooms done with Empire and happy with the turnout. We would recommend them to others looking to update their flooring."

"I used to think my studio looked “cool” with the original garage-style concrete floors… I was very wrong. During the rainy season, I kept having issues with water coming in, which caused my wood baseboards to mold and crack. It became such a headache. Finally, I decided to move forward with epoxy—and it completely transformed my space. It truly elevated everything. I 100% recommend adding the baseboards as well—they made all the difference. We had another heavy rain after the install, and although water did come in again, I was able to wipe it right up with zero damage to the walls. Huge relief. Now my studio feels more professional, clean, and so much more inviting. As for Jack, he was quick to respond, friendly, and very personable. You can genuine tell he loves what he does, which made the whole experience even better. I’m always happy to support a small business, and I truly wish him all the success. I’ll definitely be calling him again to do my basement next!"

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

Plywood is the best type of subfloor for a mobile home, though if you’re installing flooring in a bathroom, you may want to install a vapor barrier or use a moisture-proof subfloor material like Amdry. OBS is similar, but it can swell when moisture is present. 

Either way, old mobile home subflooring made from particleboard can cause issues with your joints. If you’re replacing your subfloor, it’s best to upgrade to plywood.

Many DIYers and pros start installing flooring in the middle of a room to ensure a balanced, symmetrical layout, especially when using tiles or planks. This process is particularly helpful in odd-shaped rooms because it allows you to create a centerline from which to work. Beginning in the center will enable you to work toward the edges so the final layout feels intentional and centered, even if the walls aren’t perfectly square.

Yes, laying laminate over carpet may void the warranty of your flooring. Most laminate manufacturers specify installation over a suitable subfloor, not carpet. Deviating from these installation guidelines can invalidate the warranty. You should stick to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure warranty coverage, and you should always consult with professional laminate flooring installers near you if you have any concerns or questions regarding installation methods.

A laminate floor will lift if it hasn’t been installed with the proper expansion gaps around the room’s perimeter. Laminate flooring naturally expands and contracts when indoor temperatures fluctuate, and without adequate room for expansion, the planks can lift off the subfloor. To avoid this, ensure your flooring installer knows to leave the proper expansion gaps.

No, replacing flooring is considered a renovation. You're updating an existing feature without changing the layout or structure of the space. However, it can be a remodel if extensive work is needed to update the subflooring.
