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.

Frequently asked in Raleigh

What is the best flooring for the money in Raleigh?

For excellent value in Raleigh, consider engineered hardwood or high-quality vinyl plank. These materials offer the aesthetic of real wood at a more accessible price point, especially for larger homes. The pros can help you identify the best value for your needs.

What is the 1-3 rule for flooring?

The 1-3 rule refers to the expansion gap needed around the perimeter of wood flooring. Typically, 1 inch for solid wood and 3 inches for engineered wood is recommended. This is vital in Raleigh's humid climate to prevent buckling and ensure the floor's longevity.

Which is better, vinyl plank or laminate?

Vinyl plank is a strong contender for moisture-prone areas in Raleigh homes, like kitchens, due to its excellent water resistance. Laminate can offer a more realistic wood appearance at a potentially lower price. The pros can help you choose based on your specific room's conditions.

What type of flooring is most popular now?

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and engineered hardwood are currently leading the pack. They offer impressive durability, water resistance, and a wide variety of realistic wood finishes that suit Raleigh's varied home styles. They're practical for active families.

What is the cheapest but best flooring?

For an affordable yet high-quality option in Raleigh, explore laminate or a well-made LVP. These can significantly enhance your home's appearance and offer good durability without a substantial investment. Get a free quote for the best budget-friendly recommendations.
