Why Choose Us?
Flooring is more than a surface you walk on—it’s the foundation of your home’s style and comfort. That’s why we focus on listening to your needs and providing honest guidance. Our installers are skilled professionals who respect your home, show up on time and clean up when they’re done. We provide clear communication, transparent pricing, and a workmanship warranty so you can feel confident about your investment. And because we’re based right here in Austin, we understand the local climate and lifestyle—and what types of floors work best in Central Texas homes.
Solid & Unfinished Engineered Hardwood
There’s nothing quite like the character and warmth of real wood. We offer both solid hardwood and unfinished engineered hardwood flooring installation options, each with its own benefits. Solid hardwood planks are milled from a single piece of timber and can be sanded and refinished many times—making them a long‑lasting investment. Unfinished engineered hardwood gives you the freedom to choose a custom stain and finish after installation, while its layered construction provides excellent stability. You can choose from a variety of species, widths and patterns to match your home’s style, from classic oak and hickory to exotic woods.
Our team handles every aspect, including removing your old flooring, preparing the subfloor, and installing the new planks with professional techniques. We’ll help you decide whether nail‑down, glue‑down or floating methods are best for your space. Once installed, we finish and seal the floors on‑site to achieve the exact sheen and colour you envision.
Pre‑Finished Engineered Hardwood
If you want the beauty of wood with minimal disruption to your daily routine, pre‑finished engineered hardwood is a fantastic choice. These planks are manufactured with a top layer of premium wood adhered to a core of less expensive layers. Factory‑applied finishes are extremely durable, allowing you to move in and enjoy your new floors immediately. Engineered construction also minimizes movement due to humidity and temperature changes, so your floors stay smooth and gap‑free year‑round. We carry a wide range of colours and textures, from rustic reclaimed styles to sleek, contemporary looks.
Tile Flooring, Showers & Backsplashes
Tile offers endless possibilities for creativity and practicality. Floor tiles are usually made from ceramic, porcelain, or natural stone and are set into mortar. We ensure the subfloor is level and stable, then install your tiles with precision spacing and grout lines. Natural stone tiles—like slate, travertine or marble—add organic beauty but require more planning because each piece varies in colour and thickness. Porcelain and ceramic tiles come in an array of colours, sizes and textures, including wood‑look planks. We also install tile showers and kitchen backsplashes, creating waterproof, easy‑to‑clean surfaces that become focal points in your home. Our designers can help you mix patterns and mosaics for a custom look, and we always use products rated for slip resistance in wet areas.
Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring
If you need a stylish yet low‑maintenance option, consider vinyl plank flooring. Traditional vinyl composition tiles are made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) chips pressed into sheets and cut into modular shapes. They’re affordable, durable and perfect for high‑traffic areas. For an upgrade, luxury vinyl tile (LVT) and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) realistically mimic wood or stone. These products feature a heavy protective film with UV‑cured urethane, making them resistant to scuffs, stains and scratches. They’re comfortable underfoot, easy to clean, and can handle busy households and pets with ease. Installation is quick, thanks to modern click‑lock systems, and you can enjoy a high‑end look without the high‑end price.
Carpet Installation
Nothing says comfort like carpet. In the U.S., carpet is typically manufactured in 12‑ or 15‑foot widths, then seamed and secured over a cushioned underlay using tack strips, nails or adhesive. We install both broadloom (wall‑to‑wall) carpeting and carpet tiles, which are great for offices and playrooms because individual tiles can be replaced easily. You can choose from plush cut pile, resilient loop pile (like Berber), or patterned styles that make a statement. We also carry eco‑friendly options, including wool and carpets made with natural backing and formaldehyde‑free adhesives. Our team will help you pick the right padding for comfort and longevity, then expertly install your new carpet for a perfect fit.
