Good work rarely happens alone.
A short list of the designers, builders, and local companies we trust — and who trust us with their clients' floors.
Common questions, answered plainly.
The things people usually want to know before picking a flooring contractor. Don't see your question? Give us a call.
01How long does a typical installation take?
A single room is usually one or two days. A whole downstairs in hardwood runs more like four to seven working days once you count prep, acclimation, and finish. I'll give you a real timeline with the estimate — not a guess.
02Do you handle tear-out and disposal?
Yes. Tear-out, haul-off, subfloor prep, trim, and transitions are all in the quote unless I specifically tell you otherwise. You shouldn't have to rent a dumpster for this.
03Are estimates really free?
Yes. I come out, measure, walk through your options, and send a written price. No fee, no pressure, no 'we'll knock ten percent off if you sign today' nonsense.
04What areas do you serve?
Clayton, Garner, Smithfield, Flowers Plantation, Wendell, Knightdale, Raleigh, Cary, Apex — basically Johnston County and east Wake. If you're close to that, call and ask.
05Do you offer financing?
I don't finance in-house, no. A couple of the outfits I know do offer payment plans though — call me and I can point you to one that's been straight with my customers.
06Can you match existing hardwood in an addition or repair?
Most of the time, yes. Species, width, and finish matter — bring me a photo or a board and I'll tell you straight whether we can blend it in or whether it's going to look patched no matter what.
