Flooring Installation
Installation timelines vary by flooring type and room size. Hardwood typically takes 2-4 days, laminate and luxury vinyl can often be completed in 1-2 days, while tile installation may take 3-5 days due to drying time for adhesives and grout. We provide a detailed timeline during your consultation based on your specific project size and any preparation work needed.
Yes, rooms must be completely cleared before installation begins. We can recommend professional furniture movers, or many clients choose to move items to other rooms temporarily. Some contractors offer furniture moving services for an additional fee. We'll discuss this during your estimate and help coordinate the logistics.
We provide comprehensive installation warranties covering workmanship defects for 2-5 years depending on flooring type. There are implied warranties of workmanlike quality and fitness for particular use on all installation work. Additionally, flooring materials come with manufacturer warranties ranging from 10 years to lifetime coverage. We explain all warranty details in writing before starting your project.
In many cases, yes. Luxury vinyl and laminate can often be installed over existing hardwood, tile, or vinyl if the surface is level and in good condition. However, carpet and loose or damaged existing flooring typically need removal. We assess your current floors during the estimate and recommend the most cost-effective approach.
Yes, we partner with several financing companies to offer flexible payment options including 0% interest plans for qualified buyers. Options typically range from 6 months to 5 years depending on project size. We can discuss financing options during your estimate appointment and help you find a payment plan that fits your budget.
Flooring Repair
The decision depends on the extent of damage, age of flooring, and cost. Minor damage often warrants repair, while extensive or recurring issues may justify replacement. Floor Repairing is generally cheaper than replacing - refinishing hardwood costs around $2.60 per square foot, while replacement can cost up to $4,200. A good rule of thumb is that if repair costs exceed half the replacement cost, consider replacement instead.
Common issues include scratches and dents, water damage, creaky or squeaky floors, cracked or loose tiles, warping and buckling, gaps between boards, stains and discoloration, and uneven or sagging floors. About 80% of wood flooring problems stem from moisture issues, making proper diagnosis crucial for effective repairs.
Minor repairs like filling scratches can take a few hours, while major repairs such as replacing damaged planks or tiles may take a few days. Extensive projects like sanding and refinishing hardwood floors can last several days to a week. Floor board repairs alone take 3 to 5 hours on average per room, while repairing water damage, subfloors, and joists takes 1 to 2 days on average.
For accurate estimates, clearly describe the type and extent of damage, specify the flooring material, mention any previous repair attempts, ask about different repair options and costs, inquire about repair longevity, request preventive measures information, discuss timeline, and ask about warranties. We conduct thorough on-site evaluations to provide accurate pricing.
Flooring Restoration
Flooring restoration involves revitalizing and renewing existing floors through processes like refinishing, deep cleaning, resealing, and protective coating applications. Restoration is typically 60-80% less expensive than replacement and can be completed in 1-3 days versus weeks for full replacement. It's an eco-friendly option that extends your current flooring's lifespan without the waste and disruption of removal and disposal.
Choose restoration when your floors have surface-level issues like scratches, dullness, minor stains, or loss of shine, but the underlying structure is sound. Restoration is ideal for floors that are less than 15-20 years old and haven't been refinished multiple times. It's also the right choice when you want to maintain your existing floor's character or need a quick, cost-effective solution with minimal disruption.
Most flooring restoration projects take 2-6 days, depending on the type and size. Hardwood refinishing typically takes 3-5 days, including drying time between coats. Vinyl and tile restoration can often be completed in 1-2 days. You can usually walk on refinished floors within 24-48 hours, though we recommend waiting 72 hours before moving furniture back. Full curing takes about a week.
Hardwood floors typically need refinishing every 7-15 years, depending on traffic and care, though high-quality floors with proper maintenance can go 20+ years. Tile and grout benefit from deep restoration every 3-5 years in commercial settings or 5-10 years residentially. Signs it's time include visible scratches, dullness, gaps, stains, or when regular cleaning no longer restores the floor's appearance.
Debris Removal
We handle all types of home demolition debris—old decking, flooring, drywall, framing materials, insulation, and more. Our team is fully equipped to remove virtually any construction or renovation waste.
Yes. Supreme Flooring is a licensed and insured company with New Jersey State License # 13VH07990000.
Timing varies based on project size and availability, but we typically schedule and complete removal within days of your initial request, ensuring a smooth and efficient transition to your next phase.
Absolutely! We specialize in complete demo-to-installation services. Whether you're planning a luxury vinyl plank, epoxy, or polyaspartic flooring install, we’ll clear the old materials and prep the space for the new finish.
Deck Removal
Permit requirements vary by municipality. Many towns in Monmouth County require demolition permits for deck removal, especially for attached structures. We're familiar with local requirements in Freehold, Manalapan, Colts Neck, Marlboro, and surrounding areas. We can help you understand what permits are needed and assist with the application process. Never start demolition without checking local requirements - unpermitted work can result in fines and complications.
Absolutely! We specialize in safely removing attached decks without damaging your home's structure or siding. This requires careful disconnection of ledger boards, proper support during removal, and attention to any flashing or weatherproofing that may need attention after removal.
Yes, we provide deck removal services year-round in the Freehold and Monmouth County area. Winter removal can actually be advantageous - less landscape damage when ground is frozen, potentially lower costs due to off-season availability, and preparation for spring construction projects. We adjust our methods for weather conditions and ensure safe working conditions regardless of season.
Most residential deck removals are completed in 1-2 days depending on size and complexity. A simple attached deck can often be removed in 4-8 hours, while larger or more complex structures with multiple levels, built-in features, or difficult access may take 2-3 days. We'll provide a realistic timeline during your free consultation based on your specific deck's characteristics and any site challenges.
Sanding & Finishing
Most sanding and finishing projects take 3-5 days to complete. Day 1 involves sanding and preparation work, Day 2 includes stain application (if requested), and Days 3-4 involve applying 2-3 coats of protective finish with proper drying time between coats. Larger areas may take additional days. You can walk on floors after 24 hours, but should wait 72 hours before replacing furniture.
Modern dustless sanding systems capture 95-99% of dust at the source, dramatically reducing airborne particles. While some fine dust is inevitable, professional equipment includes powerful vacuum systems attached directly to sanders. We also use plastic barriers to contain any remaining dust and provide a thorough cleanup. Older sanding methods created significantly more dust, but today's technology makes the process much cleaner.
Professional sanding removes the damaged surface layer, eliminating most scratches, scuffs, water rings, and surface stains that haven't penetrated deeply into the wood. Very deep scratches or gouges may require wood filler application before sanding. Pet urine stains that have penetrated deeply may require board replacement in severe cases. We'll assess your floors during the estimate and set realistic expectations.
Engineered floors can be refinished if the wear layer (top wood layer) is thick enough - typically 2-4mm minimum. Thinner wear layers may only allow screening and recoating. We'll measure your floor's wear layer during assessment and recommend appropriate restoration methods. Some engineered floors cannot be sanded at all due to construction, requiring alternative restoration approaches.
Hardwood Flooring
Installation time varies based on room size and complexity. Generally, expect 1-3 days for an average-sized room (200-400 sq ft). Larger projects or homes may take 3-7 days. This includes time for acclimation, installation, and finishing.
Additional costs may include subfloor repairs, furniture moving, disposal of old flooring, transition strips, and upgraded moldings. We provide detailed estimates upfront and discuss any potential additional costs during the initial consultation.
Quality hardwood floors can last 50-100+ years with proper care. Refinishing is typically needed every 7-10 years in high-traffic areas, or when scratches and wear become noticeable. Solid hardwood can be refinished 6-10 times over its lifetime.
Yes, we provide comprehensive post-installation services, including refinishing, repair of damaged boards, and maintenance consultations. We recommend scheduling periodic inspections to maintain your warranty and ensure optimal floor performance.
Luxury Vinyl Plank Installation
Yes, in many cases! LVP can often be installed over existing vinyl, laminate, tile, or hardwood if the surface is level, stable, and in good condition. This saves time and money on removal costs. However, carpet and loose/damaged flooring must be removed first.
Yes! Quality luxury vinyl plank is 100% waterproof, making it ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements. Unlike laminate or hardwood, LVP won't swell, warp, or be damaged by water exposure. The waterproof core construction means spills, splashes, and even flooding won't damage the flooring. This makes it perfect for New Jersey homes dealing with moisture concerns.
Yes! We provide installation warranties covering workmanship defects, and the LVP products we install come with manufacturer warranties typically ranging from 15 years to lifetime coverage depending on the product line selected. Our installation warranty covers issues like loose planks, gaps, or installation-related problems. We'll explain all warranty details during your consultation.
Yes, we provide comprehensive post-installation services including refinishing, repair of damaged boards, and maintenance consultations. We recommend scheduling periodic inspections to maintain your warranty and ensure optimal floor performance.
Absolutely! LVP is an excellent choice for basements because it's completely waterproof and doesn't require a moisture barrier over concrete. It won't be affected by humidity fluctuations or minor moisture issues common in basements. The floating installation method also accommodates slight concrete movement. This makes it ideal for New Jersey basements where moisture can be a concern.
Epoxy Floor Coating
Epoxy coatings are traditional two-part systems that cure slowly (24-72 hours) and can yellow over time from UV exposure. Polyaspartic coatings are newer technology that cure much faster (2-4 hours), are UV-stable (won't yellow), more flexible, and can be applied in varying temperatures. Polyaspartic is more expensive but offers superior performance, faster installation, and better long-term color retention, especially for areas with sunlight exposure.
Most residential epoxy installations take 2-4 days from start to finish. Day 1 involves surface preparation and primer application, Day 2 includes base coat and decorative elements (if applicable), and Day 3 involves topcoat application. Polyaspartic systems can often be completed in 1-2 days due to faster cure times. You can typically walk on the floor within 24-48 hours and drive on it within 72 hours.
Absolutely! Epoxy is ideal for New Jersey garage floors because it resists road salt, automotive fluids, freeze-thaw cycles, and chemical deicers commonly used in our climate. The seamless surface prevents moisture penetration and makes snow and salt cleanup easy. Decorative flake systems also provide slip resistance and hide minor imperfections while creating an attractive, showroom-quality appearance.
Epoxy floors are extremely low-maintenance. Regular sweeping and occasional damp mopping with mild detergent is typically sufficient. For commercial applications, auto-scrubbers work well. Avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool. The seamless surface means no grout lines to clean, and most spills wipe up easily. For stubborn stains, use appropriate chemical cleaners - the chemical resistance of epoxy handles most industrial cleaners without damage.
Carpet Installation
Most standard residential carpet installations are completed within one day. Larger or commercial projects may require more time, but we will provide a detailed timeline during your consultation.
In some cases, carpet can be installed over existing flooring, but we generally recommend removing old flooring to ensure the best results and to prevent issues like moisture or uneven surfaces. We will assess your floor during our free estimate.
We ask that rooms be cleared prior to installation. However, we can help coordinate movers if needed and will discuss this with you during your estimate to ensure a smooth process.
We recommend durable, stain-resistant carpets with strong carpet fibers designed to withstand wear from pets. These options are easy to clean and resistant to stains, odors, and damage from claws.
Yes, we offer professional installation of high-performance carpet tiles and broadloom carpets tailored for offices, retail stores, and other commercial environments. We also provide maintenance-friendly options to keep your flooring looking great.
Regular vacuuming and prompt cleaning of spills help extend the life of your carpet. We will provide special care instructions and additional information tailored to your carpet type during installation.
If we detect water damage, mold, or mildew during assessment or removal of old flooring, we will inform you and recommend necessary repairs before installation to ensure your new carpet lasts.
Yes, professional carpet installation ensures proper stretching, seams, and tack strip placement, which prevents wrinkles, premature wear, and protects your warranty. It also saves you time and effort compared to DIY installation.
Absolutely. Our professional carpet installation comes with a workmanship warranty, giving you peace of mind that your investment is protected.
