Expert Flooring Installers in Andover, MA

Flooring affects how your home looks and functions every single day. In Andover, where median home prices approach $1 million and many properties sell above asking, the condition of your floors signals how well the home has been maintained. Worn carpet, scratched hardwood, or dated vinyl undermines even a well-kept house.

Massachusetts weather creates specific challenges for flooring. Winters bring tracked-in salt and slush, plus dramatic humidity drops when the heating system runs constantly. Wood contracts during these dry months and gaps open between boards. Summer humidity causes the opposite problem, with wood expanding and potentially cupping. These seasonal swings stress flooring year after year. Materials installed without accounting for these conditions fail sooner than expected.

Solid hardwood remains the standard for quality homes at $15-25 per square foot installed. Oak, maple, and hickory handle heavy traffic well and can be refinished multiple times over their lifespan. According to the National Association of Realtors, hardwood delivers 70-80% ROI at resale. More than half of buyers say they would pay a premium for a home with hardwood floors already in place. In a market like Andover, that added value matters.

Luxury vinyl plank has changed the conversation for homeowners who want durability without wood's maintenance demands. At $10-15 per square foot installed, LVP handles moisture, scratches, and heavy foot traffic better than hardwood. It works particularly well in kitchens, bathrooms, mudrooms, and finished basements where wood struggles. Modern LVP replicates the look of real wood convincingly and remains stable through humidity fluctuations.

Laminate offers a budget-friendly alternative at $8-12 per square foot installed. It provides a wood appearance at a lower price point but cannot be refinished. Budget versions show wear within a decade. Tile remains the practical choice for bathrooms and entryways at $12-25 per square foot. Each material has its place, and we help match your flooring to how you actually use each room.

Our process begins with an on-site visit. We examine your existing floors, take precise measurements, and discuss what you want and what you can spend. We look at everything accessible during that visit. Then we provide a written quote with line items that show exactly what you are paying for. The price we quote is what you pay for all visible work.

Sometimes old flooring conceals problems that only become apparent during removal. Water damage, subfloor rot, inadequate structural support. When we find something unexpected, we stop work immediately and bring you to see it. We explain what we discovered, why it matters, and what the solutions cost. We propose a change order with clear pricing and only proceed if you approve. This process matters because we are building long-term relationships, not chasing quick transactions.

Most Andover flooring projects take 2-5 days once we begin installation. A single room might finish in a day. Whole-house work typically takes 3-5 days depending on materials and complexity. Hardwood that needs acclimation adds 5-7 days before installation begins, allowing the wood to adjust to indoor conditions. We handle furniture moving, old flooring removal, and daily cleanup.

Every installation includes manufacturer warranties on materials plus our workmanship warranty. Most flooring failures trace back to installation problems rather than defective materials. Proper acclimation, correct underlayment, appropriate expansion gaps, and clean transitions determine whether your floors last 10 years or 30.

We have been in the construction industry for over 27 years under the same family ownership. We show up when scheduled, protect your home throughout the project, and clean up each day. Andover is a community where reputation matters and neighbors share recommendations. That is how we continue to grow.
