Flooring Consultation
We measure your rooms, assess subfloor conditions, discuss your lifestyle needs (pets, kids, moisture areas), and recommend the best flooring material for each space.
Material Selection
Choose from our curated selection of flooring brands and styles. We provide samples to view in your home lighting. Materials are ordered and scheduled for delivery.
Subfloor Prep & Installation
Old flooring is removed, subfloor is leveled and repaired, underlayment is installed, and new flooring is laid with precision cuts and tight seams.
Trim & Transitions
Baseboards, quarter-round, transitions, and thresholds are installed or replaced to complete the finished look. Final cleanup and walkthrough.
What is the best flooring for Boise homes?
LVP (luxury vinyl plank) is our most popular recommendation for Boise homes — it handles temperature swings, resists moisture, works with radiant heat, and stands up to pets and kids. Hardwood remains the premium choice for living areas. Tile is best for bathrooms and entryways.
How much does flooring installation cost?
Flooring installation in Boise ranges from $4-$8 per square foot for LVP, $8-$15 per square foot for hardwood, and $10-$20 per square foot for tile (including labor and materials). Subfloor repair adds to the cost if needed.
How long does flooring installation take?
Most whole-house flooring projects take 3-7 days. A single room can be completed in 1-2 days. Hardwood with sanding and finishing takes longer — typically 5-7 days including dry time.
Not every flooring installation project is the same. Cosmetic updates are minor refreshes — not full remodels. Full remodels start at the Standard tier and above. Here are the most common scope levels we handle in the Boise area, with typical investment ranges.
Single-Room Update
$2,000 – $6,000
Replace flooring in one room (bedroom, office, or living area). Includes demolition, subfloor prep, material, and installation.
Main Living Areas
$6,000 – $15,000
New flooring throughout main living spaces — living room, dining room, hallways. Typically 500–1,000 sq ft.
Whole-Home Flooring
$12,000 – $30,000+
Replace all flooring throughout the home. 1,000–2,500 sq ft including transitions, stairs, and closets. Most cost-effective approach.
Premium / Custom
$20,000 – $50,000+
Wide-plank hardwood, herringbone patterns, heated floors, custom stair treads, and high-end tile. Design-forward installations.
Remodeling in the Treasure Valley comes with local factors that affect scope, cost, and timeline. Here is what Boise-area homeowners should know.
Dry Climate Impact
Boise's low humidity (15–30% in winter) causes solid hardwood to shrink, gap, and potentially crack. Engineered hardwood and LVP handle Boise's humidity swings much better than solid wood.
Hard Water & Bathrooms
Boise's hard water (10–14 grains/gallon) means bathroom and kitchen floors need waterproof materials. LVP, porcelain tile, and engineered options resist water damage. Avoid laminate in wet areas.
Subfloor Conditions
Older Boise homes (pre-1980) may have plywood or even original fir subfloors. Subfloor leveling or replacement adds $1–$3/sq ft but is essential for a quality installation.
Radiant Heat Compatibility
Radiant floor heating is popular in Boise new construction and remodels. Not all flooring works with radiant — tile and engineered hardwood are ideal. Solid hardwood and some LVP have R-value limitations.
Choosing between luxury vinyl plank (lvp) and engineered hardwood? Here is a side-by-side comparison to help you decide.
| Factor | Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) | Engineered Hardwood |
|---|---|---|
| Cost (installed) | $4–$8/sq ft | $8–$15/sq ft |
| Water Resistance | 100% waterproof | Water-resistant (not waterproof) |
| Durability | 20–30 year warranty | 25+ years (can be refinished) |
| Feel / Look | Good wood-look, softer underfoot | Real wood grain, premium feel |
| Idaho Climate | Handles humidity swings well | Handles well (better than solid) |
