Questions about cost?
How much does new flooring cost in Columbus?
Price depends on four things: the floor itself (species, plank width and wear layer), the square footage and layout, what's underneath (old flooring removal or subfloor leveling), and extras like stairs and transitions. We measure in person and give you one clear written quote, explained line by line, with no pressure to decide on the spot.
Which floor is the most affordable?
Laminate and luxury vinyl plank usually cost less than hardwood, and engineered hardwood often comes in below solid hardwood in wide planks. The best value depends on the room: a waterproof floor in a basement can save you money down the road. We'll show you options at a few price points side by side.
Why don't you list exact prices online?
Because two homes with the same square footage can need very different work. Instead of a teaser price that changes later, we measure first and give you a written quote you can count on.
What's included in the price?
Your quote covers the flooring, installation and the details, like transitions and cleanup. Every floor also comes with the Mama Knows Best Care Package, including a care kit and a six-month professional cleaning visit, at no extra cost.
