Straight answers to the flooring questions San Diego County homeowners ask before they hire anyone: hardwood, vinyl plank, refinishing and stairs.

Which hardwood suits a San Diego County home: engineered near the coast and over slab, solid inland. How each is installed and how often it can be refinished.
Does laminate flooring hold up in San Diego's coastal humidity?
Laminate in a damp coastal home: what actually ruins it, when vinyl plank is the better pick, and how installation decides whether either one lasts.
What goes into 1,000 sq ft of laminate or vinyl plank flooring
How much material 1,000 square feet of laminate or vinyl plank really needs, how long installation takes, and what changes the price in a San Diego County home.
How long does hardwood floor refinishing take?
A full sand and refinish takes 3 to 5 working days on site, then time to cure. What happens each day, when you can walk on it, and when a recoat is enough.
Can you install hardwood stair treads yourself?
