Your floors set the tone for everything else in your home. When they’re done right, you notice the difference immediately—rooms feel larger, cleaner, more welcoming. You stop worrying about scratches, stains, or that creaky spot by the kitchen.
Quality flooring installation in Coram, NY means using the right materials for your specific needs. High-traffic areas get hardwood species like oak or maple that can handle daily life. Kitchens and bathrooms get luxury vinyl plank that’s completely waterproof but still looks like real wood.
The process matters as much as the materials. Our dust-free sanding system keeps your home clean during refinishing projects. No plastic sheeting everywhere, no dust settling on your furniture for weeks afterward.
Jaguar Renovations has been serving Coram and Suffolk County homeowners for almost ten years. We’ve seen every type of flooring challenge—from 1950s hardwood that needs complete restoration to new construction requiring precision installation.
What sets us apart is straightforward communication and honest pricing. No inflated estimates, no surprise charges, no pressure tactics. We explain what needs to be done, why it needs to be done, and exactly what it will cost.
Suffolk County homes have unique characteristics—older foundations, varying humidity levels, specific architectural styles. Local experience matters when you’re dealing with subfloor preparation, moisture barriers, and material selection that will perform well in Long Island’s climate.
The process starts with an honest assessment of your current floors and what you’re trying to achieve. We measure everything, check subfloor conditions, and discuss material options that fit your lifestyle and budget.
Preparation is where most contractors cut corners, but it’s the foundation of everything. Subfloors get leveled, moisture issues get addressed, and the workspace gets properly protected. For refinishing projects, furniture gets moved and the dust-free sanding system gets set up.
Installation happens efficiently but never rushed. Hardwood gets acclimated to your home’s conditions first. Vinyl plank and laminate installations focus on proper expansion gaps and seamless transitions between rooms. Each day ends with cleanup—no sawdust trails through your house.
The final step is a walkthrough where you inspect every detail. Nothing gets considered complete until you’re satisfied with the results.

Every flooring project includes proper subfloor assessment and preparation—the foundation that determines how long your floors will last. This means checking for squeaks, uneven areas, and moisture issues that could cause problems later.
Material selection gets personalized for Coram homes. Ranch-style houses from the 1960s have different needs than newer colonial builds. Traffic patterns, pet considerations, and maintenance preferences all factor into recommendations.
Installation includes all the details that separate professional work from DIY attempts. Proper expansion spacing, seamless transitions at doorways, and baseboards that actually fit tight against the new flooring. For refinishing projects, that means multiple coats of finish applied in controlled conditions.
The dust-free sanding system is standard on refinishing jobs—not an upcharge. Suffolk County homeowners have come to expect this level of consideration for their living spaces and belongings.
Most flooring installations in Coram take 2-4 days depending on the square footage and complexity. A typical 1,000 square foot main floor usually gets completed in three days—one day for prep and material delivery, two days for installation and finishing touches.
Hardwood refinishing projects follow a different timeline. Sanding and first coat happen on day one, additional coats on day two, and you can walk on the floors by day three. The dust-free system means you don’t need to leave your home during the process.
Luxury vinyl plank and laminate installations move faster since there’s no drying time involved. These projects often get completed in 1-2 days for average-sized rooms.
Suffolk County’s coastal climate requires flooring materials that handle humidity changes well. Engineered hardwood performs better than solid wood in most Coram homes because its layered construction resists expansion and contraction.
Luxury vinyl plank is completely waterproof and handles humidity extremes without any issues. It’s become the go-to choice for kitchens, bathrooms, and finished basements throughout Long Island.
For traditional hardwood lovers, proper acclimation and installation techniques make all the difference. The wood needs time to adjust to your home’s conditions before installation, and expansion gaps get calculated based on seasonal humidity swings typical for this area.
The dust-free sanding system uses industrial vacuum equipment connected directly to the sanders. As the sanding happens, dust gets pulled immediately into the vacuum system rather than becoming airborne in your home.
This isn’t the same as just running a shop vacuum nearby—it’s a sealed system that captures 95% of the dust at the source. You’ll still want to remove delicate items from the work area, but there won’t be dust settling throughout your house for weeks.
The system also creates better results because the wood surface stays cleaner during the process. This means better stain penetration and smoother finish application.
Sometimes, but it depends on what’s currently installed and its condition. Luxury vinyl plank can often go directly over existing vinyl or tile if the surface is level and well-adhered. This saves time and money while avoiding disposal costs.
Laminate flooring can also go over existing floors in many cases, provided the subfloor is stable and level. However, carpet and most hardwood need to be removed first to ensure proper installation.
The decision gets made during the initial assessment. Trying to take shortcuts with subfloor preparation usually creates problems later—squeaks, uneven wear, or premature failure. When removal is necessary, it’s factored into the timeline and pricing upfront.
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is significantly thicker and more durable than traditional sheet vinyl. LVP typically measures 4-8mm thick with multiple layers including a wear layer, printed design layer, and waterproof core.
The visual quality is dramatically better too. Modern LVP closely mimics real wood grain patterns and textures. Many Coram homeowners can’t tell the difference between high-end LVP and actual hardwood from a few feet away.
Performance-wise, LVP handles heavy furniture, pet claws, and water spills without damage. It’s also more comfortable underfoot than traditional vinyl and doesn’t require the perfect subfloor conditions that sheet vinyl demands.
Most flooring replacement projects in Coram don’t require permits since you’re not changing the structure of the home. However, some situations do need permits—like removing load-bearing walls as part of a larger renovation or installing radiant heating systems under new floors.
When permits are required, we handle the application process and coordinate with town inspectors. This ensures everything meets current building codes and doesn’t create issues when you sell your home later.
For typical installations—replacing carpet with hardwood, updating vinyl flooring, or refinishing existing wood floors—no permits are needed. The project can start as soon as materials arrive and your schedule allows.
