Hardwood Floor Refinishing
Hard$3,500
$1,500 to $8,000 · 3-5 days
Refinishing existing hardwood floors restores them to like-new condition at a fraction of replacement cost. Properly refinished floors look better than new LVP and add genuine resale value.
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) Installation
Easy$5,500
$2,000 to $14,000 · 2-4 days
Luxury vinyl plank flooring provides realistic wood looks, resilient wear, and click-lock installation for many rooms. A good quote still needs subfloor prep, moisture limits, expansion gaps, transitions, baseboards, stairs, and warranty exclusions in writing.

Easy$4,500
$1,800 to $11,000 · 2-3 days
Luxury vinyl tile offers stone or ceramic looks with a resilient surface and easier maintenance than many hard tile systems. The installed result depends on product thickness, wear layer, subfloor flatness, moisture conditions, transitions, and indoor-air documentation.

$1,000 to $8,000 · 2-3 days
