Before you start a project in Auburn
Older floors around Auburn often have dips and humps. LVP shows every one, so we check and level the subfloor before anything goes down.

Floors for capes, ranches and split-levels in Auburn
These homes often have hardwood hiding under carpet. Sometimes it can be refinished; when it is too damaged, LVP or engineered wood goes over it. Stairs between levels are quoted separately and fit step by step.
What works in a damp basement in Auburn
Below grade we recommend rigid-core LVP or tile, never solid hardwood and rarely laminate. We moisture-test the slab first, because the floor is only as good as what is under it.
Laminate flooring in Auburn
Laminate works in dry rooms of Auburn homes, like bedrooms, living rooms and upstairs spaces. Its core is wood fiber, so in basements, lake houses that sit closed up, and full bathrooms we recommend rigid-core LVP instead. If you love the look of laminate, a waterproof-rated laminate can work in some kitchens. See laminate installation, LVP vs. laminate and is laminate waterproof?
