flooring overview
Flooring Installed to Last
New flooring changes a room faster than almost any other update – but it only looks good long-term if it’s installed correctly the first time. #1 Construction has spent over 20 years installing and restoring flooring for homeowners across Southeast Michigan, from full-home hardwood installations to a single-room tile refresh.
We work with a full range of materials, so you’re not limited to whatever one product line a smaller flooring company happens to carry. Whether you already know exactly what you want or need help narrowing down options based on the room, your household, and your budget, our team manages the entire process – old flooring removal, subfloor prep, installation, and cleanup.
Every flooring project is backed by a 1-year labor warranty, with free, itemized estimates delivered within a week.
Flooring is also one of the few home improvements that touches nearly every room differently. A kitchen needs something that handles moisture and heavy foot traffic; a bedroom benefits more from warmth and comfort underfoot; a basement needs a material that can tolerate humidity and temperature swings below grade. Rather than push one product line across your whole home, we help you match the right material to each space – which is part of why we carry multiple flooring categories instead of specializing in just one.

Our Flooring Services
Whatever room you’re updating, we install and restore the flooring to match:
Hardwood Flooring Installation
Solid and engineered hardwood installed for a warm, classic look that adds real value to your home. We work with a range of wood species and finishes, from traditional oak to more contemporary wide-plank styles, and handle acclimation and subfloor prep correctly so your new hardwood performs the way it should for years, not just the first season.
Hardwood Floor Refinishing
Sanding, staining, and resealing to restore worn or dated hardwood floors without a full replacement. If your existing hardwood has scratches, dullness, or an outdated stain color but the wood itself is still structurally sound, refinishing is almost always the more cost-effective path compared to tearing it out and starting over.
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) Flooring
A durable, water-resistant option that mimics the look of hardwood or tile at a lower cost and easier upkeep. LVP has become one of the most requested flooring materials for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements specifically because it holds up to moisture and daily wear far better than traditional wood or laminate.
Laminate Flooring
An affordable, low-maintenance option available in a wide range of styles and finishes. Laminate gives you the visual variety of wood or stone-look flooring at a lower price point, and modern laminate products hold up well in moderate-traffic living spaces.
Tile Flooring
Durable, moisture-resistant flooring ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and entryways. We install ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone tile with attention to layout, grout lines, and waterproofing details that matter most in wet or high-traffic areas.
Carpet Installation
Comfortable, budget-friendly flooring for bedrooms, basements, and living areas. Carpet remains one of the best options for rooms where comfort and sound absorption matter more than moisture resistance, and we help you choose a pile and padding combination that fits how the room is actually used.
Choosing the Right Flooring for Each Room
The best flooring material often depends more on the room than on personal style alone. Here’s how we typically guide homeowners through that decision:
Kitchens Tile and LVP are the most practical choices here, since both handle spills, moisture, and heavy foot traffic without warping or staining. Hardwood can work in a kitchen too, but requires more careful maintenance around sinks and appliances.
Bathrooms Tile is almost always the right call in a bathroom given constant moisture exposure. LVP is a strong second option, particularly in half-baths or powder rooms with lower humidity.
Bedrooms Carpet remains popular for the comfort and warmth underfoot, though hardwood and LVP have both grown in popularity for homeowners who prefer a lower-maintenance surface.
Basements LVP and certain engineered options tend to perform best below grade, where moisture and temperature swings are more likely. Traditional solid hardwood and carpet without a moisture barrier are riskier choices in an unfinished or partially finished basement.
Living Rooms & Common Areas Hardwood and LVP both hold up well in high-traffic common spaces, and laminate offers a similar look at a lower price point for homeowners working within a tighter budget.
We’ll walk through these trade-offs specific to your home during your consultation rather than recommending the same material for every room by default.
Our Flooring Installation Process
1. Consultation
We discuss your goals, the rooms involved, and any material preferences you already have in mind.
2. Material Selection
If you haven't settled on a material yet, we help you weigh cost, durability, and style against how the room is actually used.
3. Detailed Estimate
An itemized estimate arrives within a week, covering material, labor, and any subfloor work needed.
4. Removal & Prep
Old flooring is removed and the subfloor is repaired or leveled as needed before new material goes down.
5. Installation
Your new flooring is installed with attention to seams, transitions, and finish details.
6. Final Walkthrough
We review the finished space together, backed by a 1-year labor warranty.
Signs It's Time for New Flooring
- Visible scratches, warping, or staining that cleaning can’t fix
- Squeaking, soft spots, or uneven areas underfoot
- Outdated flooring that doesn’t match the rest of a renovated home
- Water damage or persistent moisture issues in the flooring material
- You’re preparing to sell and want to boost resale appeal
- Hardwood floors that have dulled or scratched but don’t need full replacement – a candidate for refinishing instead
How Much Does Flooring Installation Cost in Michigan?
Flooring costs vary widely depending on the material, the size of the space, and the condition of your subfloor. A few factors that most affect price:
- Material choice – carpet and laminate are typically the most budget-friendly, while solid hardwood and natural tile carry a higher upfront cost
- Square footage – larger spaces require more material and labor time
- Subfloor condition – repairs or leveling work needed underneath the new flooring add to the overall cost
- Removal of existing flooring – some materials are more labor-intensive to remove than others
- Installation complexity – intricate patterns, stairs, or transitions between rooms take more time than a straightforward single-room install
Rather than publish a generic price range that may not reflect your specific project, we provide a free, itemized estimate after seeing the space in person – so you know the real cost before any work is scheduled.
It’s also worth thinking about flooring cost in terms of lifespan, not just upfront price. A less expensive material that needs replacing again in five to seven years may end up costing more over time than a slightly pricier option that lasts fifteen to twenty. We’ll walk through those trade-offs honestly during your estimate rather than steering you toward whatever carries the highest margin.

The Benefits of Professional Flooring Installation
Done right, flooring does more than change how a room looks – it changes how the space holds up to daily use.
Longer-Lasting Results
Proper subfloor prep and installation prevent early wear, gaps, and squeaks that often come from rushed or DIY installations.
Increased Home Value
Updated flooring is consistently noticed by buyers and appraisers, and outdated or damaged flooring can actively hurt a home's perceived value.
Improved Comfort & Function
The right material for each room improves daily comfort, noise levels, and durability against how your household actually lives.
Fewer Future Repairs
Correct installation reduces the chance of warping, buckling, or moisture damage that leads to costly repairs down the road.
A Finished, Cohesive Look
Flooring that ties a room together instead of standing out for the wrong reasons, especially when replacing flooring room by room over time.
Better Indoor Air Quality
Removing old carpet or flooring that's trapped years of dust, allergens, or moisture can noticeably improve air quality in a room.

Flooring FAQs
How much does flooring installation cost in Michigan?
Cost depends on the material, square footage, and subfloor condition. We provide a free, itemized estimate so you know the exact cost before any work begins.
Which flooring material is best for my home?
It depends on the room and how it’s used – hardwood and LVP tend to work well in living spaces, while tile suits kitchens and bathrooms best. We’ll go over the trade-offs during your consultation.
Can you refinish my existing hardwood floors instead of replacing them?
Yes – refinishing (sanding, staining, and resealing) is often a more affordable way to restore worn hardwood without a full replacement.
How long does flooring installation take?
Timelines depend on square footage and material, ranging from a single day for a small room to a week or more for whole-home projects.
Do you handle removal of my existing flooring?
Yes, removal and disposal of old flooring is included as part of the installation process.
Is flooring installation covered by a warranty?
Yes, every flooring project we complete includes a 1-year labor warranty.
Do you install flooring in commercial spaces, or only residential homes?
We handle both residential and commercial flooring projects – let us know the scope of your space during your consultation so we can plan accordingly.
What's the difference between engineered and solid hardwood?
Solid hardwood is a single piece of wood through its full thickness, while engineered hardwood has a real wood veneer over a layered core, which makes it more resistant to humidity and temperature changes. Both look similar once installed, but engineered hardwood often performs better in basements or homes with fluctuating moisture levels.
