Your floors take a beating every day. Kids running through the house, pets tracking in sand from the beach, spills in the kitchen, moisture from Long Island’s humid summers.
You need flooring that handles real life without looking worn down in two years. That means proper installation from the start, quality materials that last, and honest advice about what actually works in your home.
When your floors are done right, you stop worrying about scratches and stains. You get beautiful, durable surfaces that hold up to everything your family throws at them while adding real value to your property.
We’ve been handling flooring projects in Westhampton and throughout Suffolk County for almost ten years. We’ve seen what works in these coastal homes and what doesn’t.
We focus on transparent communication and honest pricing. No hidden costs, no sales pressure, just straightforward advice about your flooring options and what makes sense for your specific situation.
From colonial-style homes near the village to waterfront properties, we understand how Westhampton’s unique environment affects flooring choices. Salt air, seasonal humidity changes, and the mix of year-round residents and seasonal visitors all factor into selecting the right materials and installation approach.
Our process starts with an honest assessment of your current floors and what you’re trying to achieve. We’ll explain your options clearly, including what each material costs and how it performs in real-world conditions.
Once you decide, we handle all the prep work properly. That means addressing any subfloor issues, ensuring proper moisture barriers where needed, and using dust-free sanding systems for refinishing projects.
Installation follows manufacturer specifications exactly. No shortcuts, no “good enough” approaches. We clean up completely each day and keep you informed about timeline and progress throughout the project.

Westhampton homes need flooring that handles coastal conditions. Luxury vinyl plank works well for high-moisture areas and busy families. Engineered hardwood offers the warmth of wood with better stability than solid hardwood in humid conditions.
For refinishing existing hardwood, we use dust-free sanding systems that contain mess and protect your furniture and belongings. Waterproof laminate has become increasingly popular for kitchens and bathrooms, offering wood-look appeal with practical moisture resistance.
We stock materials from established manufacturers and can source specialty options for unique projects. We’ll explain the real-world performance differences between options, not just sell you the most expensive choice.
Westhampton’s coastal location means dealing with humidity, salt air, and seasonal moisture changes. Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) performs exceptionally well here because it’s completely waterproof and won’t expand or contract with humidity changes.
Engineered hardwood is another solid choice. Unlike solid hardwood, engineered wood has a layered construction that resists warping and cupping from moisture fluctuations. It gives you the authentic wood look while handling coastal conditions much better.
For areas prone to moisture like kitchens, bathrooms, and basements, waterproof laminate or luxury vinyl tile are your best bets. They’ve improved dramatically in appearance over the past few years and now closely mimic natural wood and stone while offering complete water resistance.
Timeline depends on the scope of work and type of flooring. A typical 1,200 square foot luxury vinyl plank installation usually takes 2-3 days, including prep work and cleanup.
Hardwood refinishing projects take longer because of drying time between coats. Plan on 4-5 days for sanding, staining, and applying protective finishes. We use dust-free sanding equipment to minimize disruption to your home.
For larger projects or homes requiring subfloor repairs, add extra time. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. Weather can affect timeline for projects involving moisture-sensitive materials, especially during humid summer months.
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and luxury vinyl tile (LVT) are much thicker and more durable than sheet vinyl or cheaper vinyl products. They typically range from 4-8mm thick with multiple layers including a wear layer that resists scratches and stains.
The imaging technology has improved dramatically. High-end luxury vinyl now closely replicates the grain patterns, textures, and color variations found in real hardwood and natural stone. Many people can’t tell the difference at first glance.
Installation is different too. Luxury vinyl often uses click-lock systems that create floating floors, while cheaper vinyl typically requires full adhesive installation. The thicker construction also provides better sound dampening and a more solid feel underfoot compared to thin vinyl products.
If your existing hardwood is solid wood (not engineered) and the boards are in decent structural condition, refinishing is often the most cost-effective option. Solid hardwood can typically be sanded and refinished 6-8 times over its lifetime.
However, if you have extensive water damage, deep gouges that go through the wood, or boards that are loose or squeaky, replacement might make more sense. Also consider the wood species – some exotic hardwoods are difficult to match if you need to replace damaged sections.
Engineered hardwood has limitations for refinishing. Depending on the thickness of the top veneer layer, it might only handle 1-2 refinishing cycles. If your engineered floors are showing significant wear, replacement with new luxury vinyl or engineered hardwood often provides better long-term value.
Luxury vinyl is the easiest to maintain. Regular sweeping or vacuuming plus occasional mopping with a pH-neutral cleaner is usually sufficient. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the wear layer.
Hardwood requires more attention. Use a microfiber mop for regular cleaning and hardwood-specific cleaners. Wipe up spills immediately and maintain consistent humidity levels when possible. In Westhampton’s coastal environment, a dehumidifier during humid summer months can help prevent cupping and warping.
Laminate flooring should never be soaked with water. Use a damp mop and dry the surface quickly. The biggest enemy of laminate is moisture getting into the seams, so clean up spills immediately and ensure proper ventilation in moisture-prone areas.
Costs vary significantly based on material choice, room size, and complexity of installation. Luxury vinyl plank typically runs $4-8 per square foot installed, while engineered hardwood ranges from $6-12 per square foot depending on wood species and finish quality.
Hardwood refinishing usually costs $3-5 per square foot for standard sanding and polyurethane finish. Add $1-2 per square foot if you want custom stain colors or specialty finishes like oil-based or water-based polyurethane.
Keep in mind that Westhampton’s location can affect material delivery costs, and some contractors charge travel time for jobs outside their primary service area. Always get detailed written estimates that break down material and labor costs separately, and ask about any additional fees upfront.
