The installation was rushed and ended up taking shortcuts and mistakes cutting out copper pipe and replacing it with pex. Sloppy and hurried job with water spilled on the floor and the drain tube poorly installed into the drain.

"Bryan was very friendly. He showed up on time for both the bid and the work. The floor work is great quality- he had to merge new floor planks into older ones. Something an amateur cannot do. It looks great!!! Had a small issue with the quarter round when installing it but he removed the areas of trim we weren’t happy with and he replaced it and it now looks fantastic! We are very happy with his work and his customer service as well."

FAQs for flooring projects in Saugatuck, MI

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.

Hiring an unlicensed flooring installer could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
