Flooring Contractors in Hampton, Virginia
Hardwood, tile, carpet, LVP, and specialty flooring installation..
Flooring contractors install hardwood, tile, luxury vinyl plank (LVP), laminate, carpet, and specialty surfaces like epoxy and polished concrete. The best flooring choice depends on the room's purpose, moisture exposure, foot traffic, and your budget. LVP has surged in popularity for its waterproof properties, durability, and realistic wood-look appearance. Hardwood remains the gold standard for resale value. Proper subfloor preparation — leveling, moisture testing, and underlayment — is essential for any flooring type; skipping this step leads to uneven surfaces, squeaking, and premature wear.

General Flooring FAQs
What is the best flooring for kitchens and bathrooms?
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and porcelain tile are the top choices for kitchens and bathrooms because both are waterproof and durable. LVP offers a warm, comfortable feel underfoot, easy DIY-friendly installation, and realistic wood or stone appearances at $3–$7 per sq ft installed. Porcelain tile is the most durable option ($5–$12/sq ft installed) and handles heavy traffic and water without issue, though it's harder and colder underfoot. Hardwood is NOT recommended for bathrooms and is risky in kitchens where water spills are frequent.
How much does hardwood flooring cost?
Solid hardwood flooring costs $6–$15 per square foot installed, depending on the wood species, width, and finish. Oak is the most popular and affordable at $6–$10/sq ft. Walnut, hickory, and maple run $8–$15/sq ft. Engineered hardwood (a real wood veneer over plywood) costs $5–$12/sq ft installed and handles humidity better than solid hardwood, making it suitable for basements and over radiant heat. Refinishing existing hardwood ($3–$5/sq ft) is significantly cheaper than replacement if the floors are structurally sound.
How long does it take to install new flooring?
Flooring installation time depends on the material and room size. LVP or laminate: 1–2 days for a typical room, 2–4 days for a whole home. Hardwood: 3–5 days for a whole home plus 2–3 days for finish curing. Tile: 2–5 days per room including mortar and grout cure time. Carpet: 1–2 days for a whole home. Add 1–2 days for removal of old flooring and subfloor preparation. Hardwood and engineered wood should acclimate in your home for 3–5 days before installation, so plan material delivery accordingly.
