Hardwood flooring costs$10 to $18 per square foot but lasts longer than most other materials.
Vinyl or linoleum flooring costs $3 to $10 per square foot and is a popular alternative to hardwood.
What type of flooring is best?
Each type of flooring has pros and cons:
Hardwood flooring costs more than other materials but is best for increasing home value.
Laminate and vinyl are easy to install and maintain but don't last as long as hardwood.
Tile flooring is best for bathrooms and kitchens because it's water resistant and long-lasting.
Carpet is comfortable and affordable but harder to keep clean.
Do you tip floor installers?
Floor installers, like most other contractors, do not typically expect a tip. Some may appreciate a tip if you feel they went above and beyond, but some installers who work for large retail companies are not allowed to accept tips.
Who installs flooring?
Professional flooring installers and carpet fitters are the type of contractors that install flooring. Some popular hardware stores like Home Depot and Lowe's offer flooring installation services.

Borja’s Flooring is exceptional!
Without a doubt, Paul and his Borja Flooring team is top class: speed of service, personal customer service, affordable pricing, and quality flooring!
Not only is their service prompt, work high-quality, and craftsmanship second to none, Paul’s personal customer service skills makes him the greatest choice for your flooring needs. Paul was able to walk me through the process of choosing what type of floor would serve me best, how long the process would take, and how best to choose the correct colors based on grain direction, floor size, etc based on my specific interior. He also was able to quickly get a quote to me and work with me for what scope of work would be best for me and my budget.
Paul stops at nothing to ensure that you’re satisfied with your installation. He sends picture updates of the work, does status checks to ensure it’s looking good so far for you, and responds quickly to any of your questions.
He is also connected to other quality service professionals and was able to refer me to other work I needed around my home like painting.
The results speak floor themselves! I love my new carpet free transformed home with squeak free stairs and beautiful 2nd floor!
Overall, I couldn’t be happier. The flooring is beautiful, solid and squeak free. The service was fantastic, the price was affordable, and Paul is excellent to work with. A+ across the board.

Master builders is absolutely the best of the many contractors we have hired in the past 30 years.Based on our excellent experience when we
first hired the company two years ago to do a significant remodel of our home in Pacific Palisades, we again hired Master builders in the
last few months to do substantial work on a condominium unit we purchased on San Vicente Blvd in Santa Monica. The unit required new windows, bathroom fixtures and other
improvements and--most significantly-the kitchen and dining room had been flooded after a plumbing failure and needed substantial new flooring, cabinets, counter tops, wall, tile and more. Joseph--who was in charge of
the job for Master builders --is a knowledgeable, organized, trustworthy and engaging fellow
with an excellent eye for design and detail. He has particular skills in picking the best experts
(e.g., in tling, flooring, cabinetry etc.) and in efficiently scheduling and overseeing their efforts. In the end, the finished condominium unit is absolutely beautiful. There is no higher
praise that we can offer than this: Joseph applied his considerable skills in a way that he would if he was building a home for his own
family. We enthusiastically recommend him

I needed to get a adu called yor since they were very close to the area. We got a fantastic quote and we went along with them and the final results are just amazing. From the work to the process and the finishing it was very professional.

I had a more old fashioned style reception area office that was very outdated and needed a burst of freshness and Lisa provided just that.
Lisa was a pleasure to work with and had that fresh inspiration that I had been lacking and also worked well with with a few of my own ideas to give it a more personal touch to create a more exciting modern, fresh, updated look. Luv it!
I now love my new reception office and this in turn has brought me more business.
I get complimented on my new decor all the time. Thank you Lisa
