Floors That Handle Daily Use and Weather

Flooring Installation and Refinishing in Spokane

Your floors in Spokane take constant wear from foot traffic, temperature shifts, and moisture tracked in during wet months. Outdated laminate begins to peel at the edges, hardwood shows scratches and dull finish, and vinyl develops cracks that collect dirt. When the surface no longer looks clean or feels stable underfoot, replacement or refinishing restores both function and appearance.

Installation services include hardwood, laminate, vinyl, and tile flooring, with removal and replacement of damaged or outdated surfaces. Materials are selected to handle local climate conditions and the level of foot traffic your space receives, and installation includes precise transitions between rooms and clean finishes along baseboards.

How Installation and Refinishing Work in Practice

Flooring installation in Spokane starts with removing the existing surface, checking the subfloor for damage or unevenness, and making corrections before new material goes down. Hardwood is laid in rows with staggered seams, laminate clicks into place over underlayment, vinyl is glued or floated depending on the product, and tile is set in thinset mortar with grout lines that resist moisture.

After installation, you will see floors that sit level without gaps, transitions that align cleanly with doorways and adjoining rooms, and surfaces that feel solid when you walk across them. Refinishing restores hardwood by sanding away scratches and applying new finish coats, which brings back the original color and protects the wood from further wear.

Installation timelines depend on square footage and material type, with most residential rooms completed in one to three days. Tile work takes longer due to mortar curing and grouting steps. Furniture must be moved out before work begins, and you should plan to stay off new floors for at least 24 hours after installation to allow adhesives and finishes to set properly.

Questions That Come Up Before Starting

Homeowners often ask about material durability, how long installation takes, and what happens if the subfloor needs repair during the process.

What flooring material works best for high-traffic areas in Spokane homes?
Luxury vinyl and tile hold up well in high-traffic areas because they resist scratches, moisture, and temperature changes. Hardwood and laminate also work if you choose harder wood species or thicker laminate with good wear ratings.
How does refinishing differ from replacing hardwood floors?
Refinishing sands down the existing surface and applies new finish, which removes scratches and restores appearance without removing the boards. Replacement removes damaged boards entirely and installs new hardwood, which costs more and takes longer.
What happens if the subfloor is damaged when old flooring is removed?
Damaged subfloor sections are cut out and replaced with new plywood or oriented strand board before new flooring is installed. This adds time and material cost but prevents future issues like soft spots or squeaking.
How long does it take to install flooring in a typical Spokane home?
A single room takes one to two days for most materials, while whole-home installations range from three to seven days depending on square footage and whether subfloor repairs are needed. Tile installations take longer due to drying time.
Why do some vinyl floors feel warmer underfoot than tile?
Vinyl has lower thermal conductivity than ceramic or porcelain tile, so it does not pull heat away from your feet as quickly. Tile feels cooler unless you install radiant heating underneath, which raises installation costs.
