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.

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) |

We provide flooring installation services throughout Payette, including these neighborhoods and surrounding areas.
As the county seat of Payette County, Payette has some of the oldest housing stock in the region. Downtown features homes from the late 1800s and early 1900s — wood-framed structures with plaster walls, knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized plumbing, and lead paint in pre-1978 construction. These homes require careful renovation planning including lead paint testing, complete electrical rewiring, and plumbing replacement. The 1960s–1980s ranch neighborhoods north and south of downtown offer single-story homes with dated kitchens and small bathrooms that are prime candidates for modernization. Newer construction on the outskirts features builder-grade finishes. Payette sits at the confluence of the Payette and Snake rivers, which means some properties face seasonal moisture concerns and drainage considerations affecting foundation work and bathroom waterproofing.
“Our 1940s Payette home needed a complete kitchen overhaul — the wiring was ancient, the plumbing was galvanized, and the cabinets were falling apart. Iron Crest rewired the kitchen, replaced all the plumbing, installed gorgeous new cabinets and quartz counters, and handled the Payette County permits. The transformation is incredible.”
— Robert & Karen J., Downtown Payette | Kitchen Remodeling
“We had a tiny, outdated bathroom with a cracked tub surround and no ventilation fan. Iron Crest converted it to a walk-in shower with grab bars for my mother, installed a proper exhaust fan, and replaced the vanity and flooring. They were respectful of our older home and finished in two weeks.”
— Angela M., South Payette | Bathroom Remodeling
“Iron Crest remodeled our kitchen and hall bathroom as a package deal. They handled the lead paint testing on our 1960s ranch, managed all the permits, and the finished product looks amazing. Best contractor experience we've had in Payette — honest, on time, and on budget.”
— Tom & Diane P., North Payette | Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling
