"A very responsive and knowledgeable company. I worked with Miguel and he came over and gave a very reasonable estimate. His team came in and plastic'd over everything (and I mean *everything*) so that no dust ended up on our pictures, kitchen, or anywhere else for that matter. The end result was better than I had expected - 20 years of life, dogs, beach sand, etc had brought many areas of the floor down to bare wood and very dulled finish (where any finish was left) - the brought it back to its former glory. Great work and I will definitely call them again if needed."

C H Hardwood Floors will provide the best service possible to make your property look valuable and respectable for years with the ingenuity of hard work and creativity.
"If you are looking for a quality and dustless job when refinishing your hardwood floors talk to Calvin at C H Hardwood floors. The quality of Calvin's work was impeccable. Calvin told us he learned the trade from his dad and has 25 years of experience. Our hardwood floors were sanded down to the raw wood, treated, and we chose not to put a stain on the oak. Calvin cut and installed new baseboards. The result was beautiful. Now let's talk "dust free". Everyone said it can not be done. Calvin proved us all wrong. He has invested in some state of the art equipment so when he is sanding the floors all the dust is contained in some kind of tubing and goes into a machine. There truly was not any dust residue left on the mirrors and shelves that were still in the room. We have lived through our hardwood floor being refinished in another home, and if I did not experience this dustless method I would not have believed it. Other companies we interviewed for the job said we had to move out for at least a week. Not so with C H Floors. While we were gone during the days it was not a problem to use the kitchen and sleep in our home in the evenings. The estimate Calvin quoted us was comparable with the other estimates we received. Based on our experience with Calvin and C H Hardwood floors we would highly recommend him."

The cost to install a new subfloor and floorboards in a new construction ranges from $7,500 to $36,750 to cover 1,500 square feet, depending on factors like the choice of materials and local labor costs. On average, a new subfloor costs $2 to $2.50 per square foot, and floorboards run from $3 to $22 per square foot for materials and installation.
Install time hinges on the material. A straightforward 200-square-foot room with laminate can wrap up in roughly three hours, once the boards have acclimated for at least three days. Carpet goes down quickly too, even with fresh underlayment. Expect stone or ceramic tile to stretch into a full day, thanks to careful layout and curing time.
Refinishing hardwood runs about $3 to $8 per square foot. If the subfloor needs grading or repairs, plan on $60 to $120 per hour for labor. General floor repairs average $40 to $60 per square foot. Thinking about radiant heat? Budget an extra $6 to $20 per square foot for that comfort upgrade.
Radiant flooring delivers a luxurious and energy‐efficient solution that warms your home and enhances comfort in colder climates. This system provides both hydronic and electric options, with hydronic installations costing $6 to $20 per square foot and electric systems costing $8 to $15 per square foot. The operating expense remains between $1 and $5 for 24 hours of continuous use. With the added benefit of improved thermal comfort and a refined interior appeal, radiant flooring represents an intelligent investment for homeowners seeking durable warmth and increased home performance.
New flooring elevates your home’s aesthetic appeal and increases market value by enhancing overall functionality. Hardwood flooring delivers a 75% ROI, while engineered hardwood, tile, and laminate each contribute significant added value to your property. This upgrade not only amplifies your home’s visual appeal but also broadens buyer interest, bolstering both resale potential and long-term equity.
