Our Services
Our hardwood floating floor installations provide the timeless elegance of real wood with modern installation techniques. Unlike traditional nail-down hardwood, these floors "float" over your existing subfloor without direct attachment, making installation quicker and less invasive.
We source premium hardwood species including oak, maple, and walnut that bring natural warmth and character to any space. Each installation includes proper expansion gaps to accommodate Ohio's seasonal humidity changes.
Hardwood Floating Floors
Our vinyl and laminate floating floor installations offer remarkable versatility and cost-effectiveness for Columbus properties. These water-resistant options are perfect for basements, kitchens, and bathrooms where moisture concerns exist.
We carry a wide selection of designs that convincingly mimic natural materials at a fraction of the cost. Our installation process includes precision cutting around obstacles and doorways for a seamless finish.
Vinyl and Laminate Installations
Our engineered wood floating floor installations combine the beauty of real hardwood with enhanced stability and moisture resistance. These floors feature a genuine hardwood veneer bonded to high-quality plywood layers.
The cross-grain construction prevents the warping and cupping that can affect solid hardwood in Ohio's variable climate. This makes engineered wood ideal for basement renovations or installations over concrete slabs.
Engineered Wood Flooring
Our luxury vinyl plank installations represent the cutting edge of floating floor technology for Columbus homes and businesses. These premium products offer remarkable realism with deeply embossed textures that mimic natural wood grain.
LVP floors feature rigid cores that hide subfloor imperfections while providing exceptional durability against dents, scratches, and water damage. Their 100% waterproof construction makes them perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.

Maintenance Tips
Preserving the beauty and functionality of your floating floor requires proper care and attention. These simple yet essential practices will extend the life of your investment and maintain its pristine appearance.
(01)
Keeping your floating floor clean is simpler than you might think. We recommend daily sweeping or vacuuming with a soft-bristled attachment to remove dirt and debris that can scratch the surface.
For deeper cleaning, use a damp—not wet—mop with a pH-neutral cleaner specifically formulated for laminate or vinyl tile flooring. Avoid harsh chemicals, oil-based products, or abrasive cleaners that can damage the protective wear layer.
Regular Cleaning
(02)
Floating floors, especially laminate and some engineered wood flooring options, are susceptible to moisture damage. We strongly advise against wet mopping or steam cleaning these surfaces.
Place protective mats at entry points to catch moisture and dirt before they reach your flooring. In kitchens or bathrooms where floating floors are installed, use rugs in areas prone to splashes.
Avoid Moisture Damage
(03)
Your floating floor was designed with expansion gaps around the perimeter to accommodate natural movement. These gaps must remain unobstructed to prevent buckling or warping.
Never nail or glue anything to a floating floor, as this defeats the purpose of its floating design. When moving furniture, lift rather than drag to avoid damaging the floor's locking mechanisms.
Manage Expansion Gaps

Professional Assessments
We recommend scheduling annual professional assessments of your floating floor. Our technicians can identify minor issues before they become major problems requiring extensive repair.
During these inspections, we evaluate the condition of locking systems, check for moisture intrusion, and assess wear patterns. This preventive approach helps extend the life of your floating flooring investment.
