Denver is home turf for us. We install luxury vinyl plank, laminate, tile, hardwood, and stair flooring, and we remodel bathrooms from the subfloor up.
Denver's older neighborhoods are the most interesting flooring work in the metro and the least forgiving. Bungalows in Park Hill, Congress Park, Berkeley, and Baker mostly date to between 1900 and the 1930s. They were built with narrow-strip oak or fir over plank subfloors, and a century of settling means the floors are not flat, the door openings are not square, and the stair runs are tight and steep. A crew that installs the same way it would in a new build will produce visible problems in a house like this.
The postwar ring, meaning Virginia Village, Harvey Park, Athmar Park, and much of southeast Denver, is 1950s brick ranch territory. Original oak under carpet is common and often salvageable. These homes also have the metro's most consistent layout, which makes them predictable to quote once we have seen one.
Then there is the infill: the scraped lots and duplexes in Sloan's Lake, Jefferson Park, and along the Highlands, built in the last fifteen years. Slab or engineered joist, wide-open main floors, and buyers who want to replace builder-grade material with something better. Long uninterrupted runs look great but need careful planning around expansion gaps and where seams fall relative to windows.
If your home is in a designated historic district, that governs the exterior. Interior flooring is your business. The practical constraint in those houses is not the city, it is that original material is worth preserving where it can be, and once it is gone it is gone.
Water-resistant, wood-look flooring that holds up to pets, kids, basements, and Colorado's dry winters without the seasonal gapping you get with solid wood.
A cost-effective way to replace worn carpet across a whole floor, with modern styles and clean transitions between rooms.
Entryways, kitchens, laundry rooms, and bathrooms, set over a properly prepared substrate so the grout lines stay where they belong.
New hardwood installation, plus honest assessment of whether the original oak under your carpet is worth refinishing instead.
Treads, risers, and nosing that match the floor they connect to, which is the detail most people notice first and most installers rush.
Shower surrounds, shower pans, niches, tub areas, vanities, fixtures, and the finish trim that makes the room look finished.
PLACEHOLDER — Orlando: describe one real Denver job. Neighborhood, what the home was like, what you installed, anything that made it tricky. Two or three sentences. This is the only thing on the page a competitor cannot copy.
Refinish if there is enough wood left above the tongue to sand, which there usually is unless it has been done several times already. Original narrow-strip oak or fir in a pre-war home is worth keeping, and it is hard to buy anything comparable today. We check thickness at a vent or a threshold and give you a straight answer rather than defaulting to whichever option is easier to sell.
It can be. Sheet vinyl and floor tile installed before the early 1980s may contain asbestos, and so may the mastic under it. It is harmless while it is intact and sealed under something else, and it becomes a problem when someone rips it up dry. If we find suspect material we stop and have it tested. If it is positive, abatement goes to a licensed abatement contractor before we do anything further. That is not us being cautious for the sake of it; it is the law and it is the right order of operations.
We can level the surface enough for a sound flooring installation, which is what most homeowners actually need. We cannot correct a settling foundation, and any contractor who says they will fix a slope with floor patch is selling you something. If the movement looks structural we will say so and tell you to get a structural opinion before spending money on finishes.
Replacing floor covering does not typically require a permit. Bathroom remodels that relocate plumbing, alter electrical, or move walls do, through Denver Community Planning and Development.

Tell us what room you are working on and we will come look at it. No charge, no pressure, and a real number rather than a range.
