reviews
“Shawn and his crew redid the floors and stairs in our home and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome! The house came with laminate and carpet that we weren't a fan of so we had LVP installed and love the results! They took care of everything and worked quickly, all I had to do was pick out what floor I wanted and the rest was covered!”
“Shawn has great communication and reasonable prices. His crew came on time and got the job done in two of my bedrooms in timely manner. The crew cleaned up and the wood floor looked great. Would recommend.”
“Shawn was super friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and helpful every step of the way. He took time to communicate and followup any questions or concerns we had. I Highly recommend Shawn for any flooring project!”
“Shawn had done my friend's house, and I knew that he would do a good job. I was very happy with the install crew, and the product. Don't hesitate to use Shawn for your flooring needs. I am very happy.”
“I'm very very pleased with my new flooring and how the installation came out. Smith was focused on doing a great job and working with me through the process. I'd recommend them to anyone.”
“They do their work with pride. They do fantastic work and make sure you are happy with their job. Would hire them for more jobs in the future.”
Why Houston floors fail
It’s almost never the floor.
When a floor cups, peaks, buckles, or delaminates two years after it went down, the homeowner blames the material. Nearly every time, the material was fine. What failed was the preparation.
Slab-on-grade foundations across Harris and Montgomery County push moisture vapor up through the concrete year-round. Older slabs were poured without a vapor barrier at all. If nobody tests that slab before the adhesive goes down, the floor is on a clock from day one — and no manufacturer will warranty it.
Testing a slab costs us an hour. Replacing a failed floor costs you the whole job again.
Test before we quote
Calcium chloride or in-situ RH readings on the slab, plus a moisture meter on any wood subfloor. The numbers decide the install method — not the other way around.
Flatten what needs flattening
Grinding down high spots and filling low ones. A floating floor over a slab with a half-inch differential will telegraph every bit of it within a year.
Mitigate when the readings call for it
Where vapor transmission is above what the adhesive tolerates, a moisture mitigation coating goes down first. We'd rather add a day than warranty a failure.
Then install
Correct trowel notch, correct expansion gaps, correct fastener schedule, and stairs and transitions finished to the same standard as the open floor.

How much does flooring installation cost in the Houston area?
It depends on the material, the square footage, and how much prep your slab needs. Supplied and installed, luxury vinyl plank typically runs $5–$9 per square foot, tile $10–$20, and engineered hardwood $9–$16 — those numbers include the material, the delivery, and the labor, because that's how we quote. Labor-only rates are lower if you'd rather buy your own material. Either way the figure is confirmed in writing at a free in-home measure, not guessed over the phone.
Do you supply the flooring, or just install it?
Both — and supplying it is what most of our customers choose. We help you pick the material, order it, have it delivered, and install it, all on one quote from one company. That means one number, one schedule, and one person responsible if a box arrives damaged or a dye lot doesn't match. You're also welcome to buy your own material and hire us for installation only; plenty of customers do, and we'll tell you honestly whether what you picked will hold up on your slab.
Why buy the material through you instead of a flooring store?
We don't operate showrooms, so you aren't paying for retail floor space in your square-foot price. You still get to see and handle samples — we bring them to your house at the measure, in your own light, next to your own cabinets and trim, which is a better way to choose a floor than a fluorescent-lit showroom anyway. And because the same company supplies and installs, nobody gets to blame the other one if something goes wrong.
Who handles delivery, and what if the material is damaged?
We do. Material is ordered, delivered, and staged for install as part of the job — you don't need to arrange freight, take delivery, or store pallets in your garage. We inspect every shipment on arrival and check dye lots across boxes before installation starts. If something is damaged or short, that's our problem to fix, not yours to chase with a supplier.
How long does a typical install take?
A single-room vinyl plank job is usually one day. A whole first floor runs two to four days. Tile takes longer because of mortar and grout cure time, and hardwood refinishing needs three to five days including finish cure. You get a firm schedule at the measure, not a guess.
