Your floors take a beating every single day. Kids running through the house, pets with muddy paws, spills that happen when you’re not looking. You need flooring that handles real life without falling apart in five years.
That’s exactly what you get with professional installation in Fort Salonga. We’re talking about floors that still look incredible after your kids graduate high school. Hardwood that gains character instead of looking worn out. Luxury vinyl that laughs at water damage and scratches.
The difference isn’t just in the materials—it’s in how they’re installed. Proper subfloor prep, moisture barriers where needed, and dust-controlled sanding that won’t coat your entire house in fine particles. You get to enjoy the process instead of dreading the mess.
Jaguar Renovations has been serving Fort Salonga and Suffolk County for nearly ten years. We’ve seen what works in these Long Island homes and what doesn’t.
Suffolk County’s humidity and seasonal changes create unique challenges for flooring. Many contractors from outside the area don’t understand how moisture affects subfloors here, or why certain installation methods fail after a few winters. We do.
We’ve built our reputation on transparency and honest work. No hidden costs, no high-pressure sales tactics, no surprises when the final bill arrives. Just straightforward expertise from contractors who understand Fort Salonga homes and the families who live in them.
Every flooring project starts with an honest assessment of your space. We’ll look at your current floors, check for moisture issues, and measure everything precisely. No guesswork, no assumptions.
Next comes preparation. This means protecting your furniture and belongings, setting up dust containment systems, and prepping the subfloor properly. Most problems with flooring come from skipping these crucial steps.
Installation happens efficiently with minimal disruption to your daily routine. Our dust-free sanding systems keep the mess contained, and we clean up completely each day. You won’t find sawdust in your coffee mug or tracking debris through the rest of your house.

Fort Salonga homes need flooring that handles everything from beach sand tracked in during summer to winter salt and moisture. That’s why we offer comprehensive flooring options for every situation.
Hardwood flooring remains the gold standard for living areas and bedrooms, adding immediate value to Fort Salonga properties. For kitchens, bathrooms, and basements, luxury vinyl plank offers waterproof protection without sacrificing style. Laminate provides an affordable middle ground that works beautifully in bedrooms and offices.
We also handle refinishing projects for existing hardwood floors. Many Fort Salonga homes have original hardwood that just needs professional restoration to look stunning again. Our dust-controlled sanding process brings back the natural beauty without creating chaos in your home.
Most flooring installations in Fort Salonga take 3-5 days depending on the size of your project and type of flooring. Hardwood installation typically requires 3-4 days for an average room, including time for the finish to cure properly.
Luxury vinyl plank installs faster, often completed in 1-2 days for most rooms. Refinishing existing hardwood takes about 3 days – one day for sanding, one day for staining, and one day for the protective finish coat.
We always provide realistic timelines upfront and stick to them. No dragging projects out for weeks or rushing through important steps that affect quality.
Fort Salonga’s proximity to the water means humidity is a real concern for flooring. Engineered hardwood performs better than solid wood in these conditions because it’s more stable and less likely to cup or crown with moisture changes.
Luxury vinyl plank is completely waterproof and ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements where moisture is unavoidable. It handles humidity fluctuations without any movement or damage.
For solid hardwood, proper installation with moisture barriers and climate-controlled acclimation is essential. We test moisture levels in both the subfloor and materials before installation to prevent problems down the road.
Sometimes, but it depends entirely on what’s underneath and its condition. Installing over existing flooring can save time and money, but only when the substrate is solid, level, and appropriate for the new material.
Luxury vinyl can often go over existing vinyl, tile, or hardwood if the surface is smooth and secure. Laminate can also be installed over most existing hard surfaces with proper underlayment.
However, we never recommend shortcuts that compromise the final result. If the existing floor needs to come up for proper installation, we’ll tell you upfront. It’s better to do it right the first time than deal with problems later.
Our dust-controlled sanding systems capture 99% of particles at the source, so you won’t find fine dust settling throughout your Fort Salonga home. This is especially important for families with allergies or asthma.
We set up plastic barriers to contain work areas and use industrial air filtration units. All furniture and belongings are properly protected with plastic sheeting and moving blankets.
Daily cleanup is part of our process. We vacuum and clean the work area completely each day, so you’re not living in a construction zone. Your home stays livable throughout the project.
Both are excellent affordable options, but they serve different purposes in Fort Salonga homes. Laminate has a wood fiber core and performs well in dry areas like bedrooms and living rooms. It’s comfortable underfoot and handles normal wear beautifully.
Luxury vinyl plank has a waterproof core that makes it perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. It can handle standing water without damage and cleans up easily after spills or pet accidents.
In terms of appearance, both can look remarkably like real hardwood. The choice usually comes down to where you’re installing it and whether moisture is a concern in that space.
Absolutely. Many Fort Salonga homes have beautiful hardwood floors that just need professional restoration. Refinishing costs significantly less than replacement and can make 20-year-old floors look brand new.
The process involves sanding away the old finish and surface scratches, then applying new stain and protective coatings. Our dust-controlled equipment makes this much cleaner than traditional sanding methods.
Not all floors are good candidates for refinishing. We’ll assess the thickness of your wood and overall condition before recommending refinishing versus replacement. Honest evaluation upfront saves you from disappointment later.
