Flooring Installation Oahu
Are you considering new flooring installation in Oahu? Although carpet is still the most popular flooring installation due to the cheaper price, it is the least advantageous. That is due to a high level of maintenance, low durability, lower value for sale, and susceptibilities to allergies.

Our team of Honolulu flooring contractors has been working with different floor vendors over the years. That allows them to genuinely pick the best floor for you and your lifestyle, and not to be attached to a couple of brands just because they are the distributor. We have high experience with hardwood, engineered wood, laminate, tile, and luxury vinyl planks or tile.

Hardwood Floor
Solid hardwood floor is sold unfinished or pre-finished. A great thing about hardwood is that it can be refinished multiple times over the course of its lifetime. Hardwood is not waterproof and therefore only recommended for living rooms, hallways, offices, and bedrooms. We don’t recommend it if you have pets or small children. If this is the style you like go with engineered hardwood.
✔ Most durable
✔ Most expensive
✔ Attractive to Hawaii home buyers
✔ Not waterproof
✔ Not recommended if you have pets
✔ Not resistant to scratches, although they tend to blend due to wood appearance.

Hardwood floor installation in Oahu, Hawaii
Hardwood floor installation is always very desirable in Oahu and Hawaii. It is associated with luxury, elegancy, and value. Our Oahu flooring contractors find a high ROI when it comes to installing a hardwood floor for a home for sale. However, a lot of people in Hawaii have a dog and practice outdoor sports (beach, hiking) which makes them likely to bring sand, water, and mud to their home. If that is you and you really like a wood floor, we recommend you go with wood-like floors such as vinyl planks or engineered hardwood at least. Finally, you should consider the amount of sunlight your home faces in Hawaii. Prolonged exposure to sunlight causes wood to fade.
Laminate Flooring
Laminate floor can be installed in any type of room. It has the most variety of colors, textures, and styles. Laminate is easy and quick to install. It is more slippery and only some varieties are waterproof. If you are looking for installing a floor in an area with frequent spills or pets, we recommend luxury vinyl planks instead.

✔ Water-resistance for up to 70 hours, in general

Luxury Vinyl Plank and Tile
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and Luxury vinyl tile (LVT), are two popular types of vinyl currently. Basically, there are four different types of vinyl: peel and stick (cheaper, appears like tile), sheet, vinyl planks, and vinyl tile. Vinyl planks flooring has been growing in popularity over the past years and is even considered one of the best floorings for 2020. That is due to having the look and feel of real wood while is cheaper, water-resistance, and easier to clean. Vinyl tile has the same features, but resembles stone or ceramic tile instead. Some vinyl are even waterproof. They come in different thicknesses anywhere from 2mm to 8+ mm. As you can imagine thinner vinyl will be more prone to damage such as from furniture. All in all, vinyl planks check all boxes of most common homeowner’s concerns.

Porcelain is similar but is denser and more durable. It is water and cold resistant which means it can be used indoors and outdoors. Its durability is also better for high traffic areas when compared with ceramic. For the best design and personality, a natural stone tile is the way to go. It is indeed the most expensive and requires more care to maintain their beauty. Examples are granite, marble, slate, travertine, and limestone.

Our Process
Step 1. What Are You Looking For And What Do You need?
There are several questions we need to ask you to understand which is the best floor to suit your needs. First and foremost, where are you planning to install new floor? Is this your home, for sale, or for renting out? For example, while hardwood seems to be attractive for sale, we would not recommend you to install it if your plan is to rent out the home. Second, and assuming your family will be the one enjoying the new floor: Do you have kids and how old are they? Young kids play rough with toys, spill food and drinks, and track dirt indoors. Third do you have pets and what are they? With pets the concerns are similar, i.e. scratches from nails, dirt from outside, liquid spill or drooling, and off course odors. Finally, we will explore your style and goals for look, feel, and maintenance level.
Step 2. Select The Right Floor For You + Free Quote
After understanding your goals and what type of wear the floor will be subject to, we analyze all the options in the market to make you the best suggestion and recommendation.

This is a fun part! After knowing what floor you choose, we can dig deeper into colors and styles. More traditional, more rustic, or more modern? Some types allow for a combo of styles too.
Step 4. Floor Installation in Oahu
Our flooring installers in Oahu will finally get to what they do best. They will let you know what to expect regarding time. Basically, it depends if the old floor needs to be removed (carpet for example), how much is there to be installed, and if the room/house is vacant. If you are getting new custom cabinets, that is definitely a good opportunity for flooring too.
