New floors change how a whole home looks and feels, but the result depends entirely on how they are installed. At Building America Construction, flooring installation is handled by our own in-house carpentry crews, not rotating subcontractors. With 15+ years in business and 300+ completed projects across Northern Virginia, we install floors that sit flat, lock tight, and hold up to daily traffic. Every project is licensed, insured, and backed by our 1-year workmanship warranty, with an on-time, on-budget commitment from the first measurement to the final walkthrough. Fresh floors are also built into most of our kitchen remodeling projects.
Flooring Types We Install
Different rooms call for different flooring. We help you match the material to the space, the traffic, and the moisture it will see:
- Solid & engineered hardwood, The classic choice for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. Solid hardwood belongs on and above grade; engineered hardwood tolerates fluctuating humidity better, making it the smarter pick for below-grade areas.
- Luxury vinyl plank (LVP), Waterproof, durable, and forgiving. LVP is our go-to for basements, bathrooms, kitchens, and mudrooms where moisture rules out solid wood.
- Tile & stone, Porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone for baths, entryways, and backsplashes. Waterproof, hard-wearing, and ideal for wet areas when set over a properly prepared substrate.
- Laminate, A budget-friendly, scratch-resistant option that mimics wood convincingly for busy family spaces.
- Refinishing existing hardwood, When your current floors are structurally sound, sanding and refinishing restores them for a fraction of a full replacement.
Why Subfloor Prep & Leveling Matter
Beautiful flooring installed over a bad subfloor fails fast. Before a single plank or tile goes down, we inspect the substrate for high spots, dips, moisture, squeaks, and soft areas. We level low spots, secure loose decking, and address moisture where needed. Skipping this step is the most common reason floors gap, cup, crack, or bounce within a year. Doing it right is why ours don’t.

What Flooring Installation Costs
Installed flooring prices vary by material. As a rough guide across Northern Virginia, luxury vinyl plank runs about $4 to $9 per square foot installed, hardwood about $8 to $16 per square foot, and tile about $10 to $25 per square foot. If your existing hardwood is structurally sound, refinishing runs about $3 to $6 per square foot, far less than a full replacement. Where your project lands inside those ranges comes down to the material, how much subfloor prep and leveling the room needs, whether old flooring has to be removed, the number of stairs and transitions, and the room size. We do not guess at totals. We measure the space, then put a clear, itemized quote in writing. Request your flooring quote and we will walk the space with you.
How Long Flooring Installation Takes
Most flooring jobs take a few days to about two weeks, depending on square footage and material. A single room of luxury vinyl plank or laminate often wraps in a day or two, while a whole main floor takes longer. Tile and hardwood refinishing sit at the slower end, since tile needs mortar and grout to cure and refinishing requires sanding, staining, and finish coats that dry between passes. We give you a realistic schedule with your quote and hold to it.
Flooring Installation Warranty
Every flooring installation is backed by BAC’s 1-year workmanship warranty, which covers the quality of our labor and installation. On top of that, the flooring itself carries the manufacturer’s product warranty, which varies by material and brand and covers defects in the product. We install to manufacturer specifications, so those product warranties stay intact.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does flooring installation cost?
Installed prices depend on the material, roughly $4 to $9 per square foot for luxury vinyl plank, $8 to $16 for hardwood, $10 to $25 for tile, and $3 to $6 to refinish existing hardwood. Subfloor prep, old floor removal, stairs, and room size all move the number, so we quote in writing after we measure.
How long does flooring installation take?
Most jobs take a few days to about two weeks, based on square footage and material. Plank and laminate go fast, while tile and hardwood refinishing take longer because of the curing and drying time involved.
Hardwood vs luxury vinyl plank, which is better?
Hardwood offers timeless appeal and can be sanded and refinished for decades, which makes it ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways above grade. LVP is waterproof and highly durable, so it wins in basements, bathrooms, kitchens, and other rooms that see moisture. Plenty of homes use both.
Can you install flooring over my existing floor?
Sometimes. Floating floors like LVP and laminate can go over a sound, level existing surface, while other situations call for removal first. We assess your subfloor during the consultation and recommend the approach that will last.
Do you move furniture and remove the old floor?
Yes. We handle removal and disposal of your old flooring, and we can move furniture as part of the project. Because we run in-house crews, prep, removal, and installation are all managed by the same team.
Do you handle subfloor repairs too?
Yes. Because we run in-house carpentry crews, we correct subfloor problems as part of the same project rather than sending you to another contractor.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Building America Construction is fully licensed and insured, based in Manassas, and serving Arlington, Gainesville, and Prince William County. We bring 15+ years in business and 300+ completed projects to every install.
