Frequently Asked Questions

Do you sell engineered wood flooring materials?

How much does engineered wood flooring installation cost in Austin?
Engineered wood flooring installation labor typically costs between $3.75 and $4.25 per square foot, which includes our premium Mapei 980 adhesive for glue-down installations. The rate varies depending on the floor level and occupied status ($3.75/sq ft for 1st-floor vacant, $4.00/sq ft for 1st-floor occupied or 2nd-floor vacant, and $4.25/sq ft for 2nd-floor occupied). Additional costs apply for old floor removal, subfloor leveling, and trim/baseboard installation.
What adhesive do you use for glue-down engineered wood?
We use Mapei 980, a premium urethane wood flooring adhesive, on every glue-down installation. It's included standard in our per-square-foot pricing—no surprise upcharges.
How long does a typical installation take?
For a standard-sized project of 500-1000 sq. ft., the installation process, including removal of old flooring, typically takes 2-3 days.
Can you install engineered wood flooring over tile?
In many cases, yes. Engineered wood can be installed over existing ceramic tile if the tile is flat, in good condition, and height transitions allow for it. However, if the tile is cracked, uneven, or too high, it must be removed. We always recommend an in-home assessment to determine the best approach.
Do you need to remove carpet before installing engineered wood?
Yes, old carpet, padding, and tack strips must always be completely removed before installing engineered wood floors. We offer professional removal and disposal services to handle all this prep work for you.
How do you prepare a subfloor for engineered wood flooring?
Subfloor preparation is the most critical part of an engineered wood install. We scrape the subfloor clean, check for flatness using a level, grind down high spots, and fill low spots. This ensures a stable base, a strong adhesive bond, and prevents the bouncing or hollow clicking sound commonly associated with poor preparation.
Do you handle baseboard and shoe molding installation?
Yes! We can remove and reinstall your existing trim, or install brand-new profiles after your engineered wood floors are laid. Check out our dedicated Baseboard Replacement page and Shoe Molding page for pricing.
