What affects the price

The size of the area being covered and how much prep work the subfloor needs will also play a role. If your rooms have complex layouts or lots of corners, that often adds labor time. Every home is unique, so we help you get an exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Frequently asked in Aurora

What is the best flooring for the money?

For existing wood floors in Aurora, refinishing usually offers the best value. It revitalizes what you already have, delivering a high-quality, custom finish at a lower cost than replacement. If considering new flooring, engineered wood can provide the look of solid hardwood at a more accessible price.

What is the 1 3 rule for flooring?

The '1 3 rule' typically applies to plank installation patterns, ensuring a visually appealing layout. When refinishing wood floors in Aurora, the primary focus is on the wood's condition. Deeper scratches or uneven boards might need repair or replacement before refinishing can achieve a smooth, uniform surface.

Which is better, vinyl plank or laminate?

This comparison is for new flooring. If your Aurora home has wood floors, refinishing is often the superior choice for its natural beauty and value. Vinyl plank offers water resistance, and laminate is a budget-friendly option, but neither can replicate the rich character and refinishing potential of real hardwood.

What type of flooring is most popular now?

While luxury vinyl plank and engineered wood are popular for new installations, refinished hardwood remains a timeless classic. Many homeowners in Aurora are choosing to refinish their existing wood floors to achieve a modern aesthetic, opting for lighter stains or a natural, matte finish that complements their decor.

What is the cheapest but best flooring?

For your current wood floors in Aurora, refinishing is likely the 'cheapest but best' option for a premium look and feel. While laminate might be inexpensive for new flooring, it can't match the enduring beauty or the ability to be refreshed again later like real wood. Refinishing revitalizes what you already have.
