Floors & tile in Margate.
Margate flooring work is mostly LVP installs in second-floor rentals and primary residences (waterproof, salt-air friendly, easy to replace a single board if it gets damaged), large-format tile in primary suite bathrooms, and porcelain on shower walls. Hardwood at the shore is workable but harder — humidity swings affect it more than they do inland, and we'd rather steer you to engineered hardwood or LVP than install solid oak somewhere it's going to give you trouble.

What we install and refinish
Floors are what every visitor steps on first. We install them flat, fastened right, and finished cleanly.
- 01
Hardwood install
Site-finished or pre-finished. Oak, maple, hickory, walnut. Properly acclimated, glued or nailed depending on subfloor.
- 02
Hardwood refinish
Sand, stain, seal. Three-coat polyurethane. Dust-containment system — much cleaner than the old-school method.
- 03
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP)
High-traffic households, rental units, basements. Waterproof, scratch-resistant, fast install.
- 04
Porcelain & ceramic tile
Floors, showers, backsplashes. Heated floors when you want them. Proper underlayment, every time.
- 05
Subfloor repair
When the old floor comes up and the subfloor is soft, we fix it before laying anything new.
- 06
Stair treads & risers
Match new floors up the stairs. Hardwood treads, painted or stained risers, custom nosing.
From the first call to the punch list.
Every project goes through these four phases. We don't skip steps.

Floors & tile in Margate — questions we hear.
-
Margate is in a coastal flood zone — how does that affect a remodel or addition?
For most interior remodels (kitchens, bathrooms, floors) it doesn't — flood-zone rules apply to substantial improvements, structural work, and ground-floor elevation. For decks attached to the house, additions, and substantial-improvement remodels (over 50% of building value), we coordinate with Margate's flood compliance review and design to current FEMA elevation requirements. We've done dozens of projects in Margate; flood-zone compliance isn't exotic, it's just a step in the permitting process.
-
Can you install over the existing floor?
Sometimes — LVP often goes over old vinyl or tile if the subfloor is sound. Hardwood usually needs old flooring removed. We'll tell you which makes sense.
-
How dusty is sanding hardwood?
With our dust-containment system, much less than you'd expect. Not zero — but you can stay in the house, and you won't spend a week wiping down surfaces afterward.
-
Can you match my existing floor for a repair?
For hardwood, usually yes — we can lace in new boards and re-sand the whole floor for a seamless match. For LVP and tile, depends on whether the manufacturer still makes the product.
-
What's the best floor for a rental property?
LVP, every time. Waterproof, scratch-resistant, easy to replace a single board if a tenant damages one.
