Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best flooring for the money?

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) offers the best value for most homes — it's waterproof, durable, looks like hardwood, installs easily, and costs $4-$9/sq ft installed. For resale value, real hardwood ($8-$16/sq ft) offers the highest return.

How long does flooring installation take?

Single room: 1 day. Multiple rooms: 2-4 days. Whole house: 3-7 days. Tile takes longest due to grout drying time. Floating floors (laminate, LVP) are fastest.

Why does flooring installation cost different in Montgomery than other cities?

Montgomery's costs reflect local labor rates driven by the diversified economy, varied climate conditions that affect materials and scheduling, and moderate permitting requirements. The balanced labor market also influences competitive pricing.
