Questions we get asked
How does the free estimate work?
Call (916) 425-1361 or email essentialflooring16@gmail.com to set a time. We visit your home, measure the space, look at the subfloor, and talk through materials and finishes. You get a clear written quote with no obligation and no hidden fees. It costs nothing, and you decide from there at your own pace.
How long does a typical floor installation take?
Every project is different, so timing depends on the size of the space, the material, and how much prep the subfloor needs. A single room can often be done in a day or two, while whole-home installations and hardwood refinishing take longer. You receive a clear timeline with your estimate, and we stick to it.
Is furniture moving included in the price?
It depends on the project, so we discuss it during your free estimate. Some homeowners prefer to clear rooms themselves, while others want help with larger pieces. Either way, you will know exactly what is included before work begins, and it will be listed clearly in your written quote.
Will hardwood refinishing fill my house with dust?
Far less than you might expect. Our modern sanding equipment uses dust containment that captures most dust at the source, so your home stays much cleaner than with older methods. We also cover vents and doorways where needed and clean up thoroughly before applying stain and protective finish.
