Flooring Products and Selection
What types of flooring does R&S Flooring offer?
We offer hardwood, carpet, laminate, luxury vinyl, and area rugs. Our team can help you compare materials based on your room, daily routine, preferred appearance, maintenance needs, and budget.
What is the difference between solid and engineered hardwood?
Solid hardwood is made from a single piece of wood, while engineered hardwood has a real wood surface over a layered core. R&S Flooring works with both. Installation suitability and refinishing potential depend on the specific product, room conditions, and remaining wood thickness.
What is the difference between laminate and luxury vinyl?
Laminate typically uses a printed decorative layer over a wood-fiber core. Luxury vinyl uses a resilient construction with a printed design and protective wear layer. Both offer wood-look styles. Compare the specific product's moisture performance, care requirements, and installation suitability before choosing.
What flooring should I consider for homes with pets or children?
Consider foot traffic, spills, scratch resistance, cleaning needs, and comfort. Suitable luxury vinyl, laminate, carpet, and hardwood products can meet different household priorities. Tell our team about your home so we can help you compare materials and performance features.
Can I visualize new flooring in my room before buying?
Yes. Our website includes a room visualizer for featured products. Use it to explore different flooring looks, then review physical samples before making your final selection because screen settings and lighting can affect how colors appear.
Hardwood Restoration, Repair and Refinishing
Does R&S Flooring restore and refinish hardwood floors?
Yes. R&S Flooring offers hardwood restoration, including sanding, refinishing, repairs, staining, and finishing. We evaluate your existing floor before recommending the work needed to improve its appearance and preserve usable wood.
Should I refinish or replace my hardwood floor?
Refinishing may suit floors with surface scratches, fading, or a worn finish. Extensive moisture damage, structural problems, or insufficient remaining wood may make replacement more appropriate. A professional evaluation can help determine the best approach.
Can you repair damaged hardwood boards?
Yes. We offer hardwood flooring repairs. Some damaged boards or localized areas can be addressed without replacing the whole floor. The repair approach depends on the damage and the condition of the surrounding wood.
Can I change the color of my hardwood during refinishing?
Often, yes. After sanding removes the existing finish, stain can change the wood's appearance. Results depend on the wood species and floor condition. Our team can help you explore stain colors and finish options.
Is hardwood refinishing completely dust-free?
No sanding process should be assumed to be completely dust-free. R&S Flooring uses a dust containment system to reduce airborne sanding dust. Ask our team about the equipment and preparation recommended for your project.
Custom Hardwood Stairs
Does R&S Flooring install custom hardwood stairs?
Yes. We specialize in custom hardwood stairs and offer options for treads, handrails, posts, and wood or iron spindles. Our process begins with an in-home consultation to discuss your staircase, style preferences, durability needs, and budget.
Can you replace existing staircase materials?
Yes. R&S Flooring offers removal of existing staircase materials and installation of new components. The work depends on your stair system and the details you choose. Discuss the project with our team so we can review the scope.
Can my stairs coordinate with my hardwood flooring?
Yes. We can help you explore wood species, colors, and stair components that complement your flooring and interior. Natural wood variation can affect the final appearance, so review your selections with our team before work begins.
Design, Installation and Project Coordination
Does R&S Flooring provide professional residential installation?
Yes. We install carpet, solid and engineered hardwood, laminate, and luxury vinyl in homes throughout our service area. Our process includes reviewing the project, identifying preparation needs, and using installation methods appropriate for the selected flooring.
Do you offer flooring design consultations?
Yes. Our design consultations help you compare materials, colors, textures, and finishes based on how you use the space. Bring room photos, inspiration images, paint colors, or samples of existing finishes to help communicate your preferences.
What does job coordination and supervision include?
Our coordination and supervision services help organize project details, schedules, and communication with installation crews. Depending on the job, this may include reviewing preparation requirements, coordinating stages, monitoring progress, and addressing questions during the work.
Can new flooring be installed over my existing floor?
Sometimes. Suitability depends on the new product, existing material, surface condition, floor height, and manufacturer requirements. Our team can evaluate your current floor and recommend an appropriate installation method before work begins.
How should I prepare my home for flooring installation?
Ask our team about the preparation required for your project. This may include removing personal belongings and arranging access to the work area. Confirm furniture arrangements and which tasks are included in your order before installation day.
Free Quotes, Timelines and Financing
Does R&S Flooring offer free in-home quotes?
Yes. We offer free, no-obligation in-home flooring quotes. Our team can evaluate the space, take measurements, and discuss your goals. Complete the quote request form on our website or call (615) 771-0084 to get started.
How long will my flooring or refinishing project take?
Timing depends on the material, project size, preparation, repairs, and installation or refinishing steps. Stain and finish choices can also affect when a restored floor is ready for use. Discuss deadlines early and confirm the expected schedule with our team.
