Flooring Types You Will Install

Experience across multiple flooring types is helpful and in most cases required. Hardwood, LVP, tile, and carpet are the highest-volume installs across our Coachella Valley projects, with epoxy coatings and laminate rounding out the scope.

Flooring We Install, Repair, and Replace

Hardwood Solid and engineered hardwood, nail-down, glue-down, and floating installs. Experience with sanding, finishing, and refinish work is a plus.

Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) Click-lock and glue-down LVP, high-volume across the valley. Clean seams and straight runs on long hallways separate experienced installers from the rest.

Tile Ceramic, porcelain, and travertine in bathrooms, kitchens, entryways, and patios. Wet saw work, layout, backer board, thinset, grout, and sealing.

Carpet Stretch-in and glue-down carpet with proper tack strip, pad, seams, and transitions in bedrooms, living areas, and stairs.

Laminate Click-lock laminate with proper underlayment, expansion gaps, and transitions to adjacent surfaces.

Epoxy Floor Coatings Epoxy coatings for garages, patios, and interior concrete. Surface prep, moisture testing, and color flake or solid finish application.

Subfloor and Leveling Self-leveling compound, patching, crack isolation membranes, and moisture mitigation on concrete slabs.

Trim and Transitions Baseboard, shoe molding, stair nosing, reducers, T-molding, and thresholds to complete any flooring job.

Hardwood, LVP, and tile experience stands out. Verifiable experience across these systems significantly strengthens your application.

Minimum 5 years of residential flooring installation experience. Hard minimum.
Hands-on experience with multiple flooring materials, with preference for hardwood, LVP, tile, carpet, laminate, and epoxy coatings.
Strong subfloor prep skills, including leveling, moisture testing, and preparing concrete slabs common in Coachella Valley homes.

Physical stamina to lift 75 lbs and spend extended time on your knees throughout the day.
