How long does it take to install flooring?

<div>It takes about one to three days for a two-person crew to lay 800 to 1,000 square feet of flooring daily. Remember that removal of existing flooring and additional prep work is considered during this time, and it’s likely that you won’t be able to pass through the room easily. In addition, you can expect lots of hammering and other noise from power tools during installation, so it’s best to plan accordingly.</div>

They did an excellent job. I had a contractor that I had hired myself to take down two walls and then they came in to do everything from the floor to the installation of the sheet rock. They put in insulation as well. They worked with the permits and they did the design as well.

We do install new engineered, hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, laminate....and we also sand and refinish , repair, and buffing or screening floor and polished floors.

"Hao and his team did a wonderful job to restore our 30-year-old hardwood floor in the living and family rooms, plus stairs and upstairs corridor and remove and install new floor for the entire kitchen. They moved the heavy furniture around to accommodate the sanding and coating of each room. We were able to stay upstairs the whole week when work was ongoing. This is because of the effective containment of dust; they cordoned off each room with plastic sheets. The floor is better than when it was new! I unreservedly recommend Hao and his team of professionals"

FAQs for flooring projects in Milpitas, CA

The cost of flooring installation is $3,000 for the average homeowner. This cost can range from $1,500 to $4,500, depending on the project size, flooring material, and any special features. For example, if stairs need new flooring, you can expect to pay about $11 to $160 per step. Additionally, hardwood flooring costs significantly more than linoleum, with hardwood ranging from $6 to $22 per square foot and linoleum costing $3 to $7 per square foot.

Believe it or not, adding new flooring—especially floors like hardwood, laminate, tile, or vinyl—can add significant value to your home. If you update your flooring close to when you sell your home, you can see up to a 70% ROI on your new floors. Adding new flooring to your home is one of the quickest ways to make the whole room look refreshed and new, which is a positive point for selling.

While you certainly can install new flooring yourself, it may not always be the best idea. Since the condition of the floors is a significant component of your property’s value, it’s important that your project looks professionally done. If not, you run the risk of needing to have them replaced again before selling your home. If you’re looking to save money on the cost of floor installation, consider removing the old flooring yourself to save on labor costs.

When it comes to flooring installers, licensing laws vary from state to state. Even if your state doesn’t require your flooring installer to have a license, your municipality or city might, so it’s a good idea to check with your town before getting started. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local general contractor guidelines.
