Replace Worn Floors with Durable Surfaces

Hard-surface flooring installation including laminate, vinyl, hardwood, and tile throughout Richmond, California.

Old flooring in Richmond homes often shows its age through scratches, discoloration, uneven planks, or grout that has turned gray no matter how often you clean it. When floors look tired or feel unstable underfoot, replacing them changes how the entire room appears and functions. Juniors Construction & Remodeling, Inc installs laminate, vinyl, hardwood, and tile flooring designed for durability and low maintenance, and we do not install carpet.

We work with homeowners across Richmond and the Bay Area who want flooring that holds up to daily wear, moisture, and foot traffic. Each installation includes subfloor inspection, leveling if needed, and precision cutting to fit around doorways, corners, and transitions. We focus on hard-surface options because they last longer, clean easier, and work better in homes with pets, kids, or high activity. Every flooring project is backed by our in-house workmanship warranty.

If your floors need replacing or upgrading in Richmond, contact us to schedule a flooring consultation and review material options.

Subfloor Prep Matters as Much as Material Choice

We start every flooring job in Richmond by inspecting the subfloor for levelness, moisture, and structural soundness. If the subfloor is uneven or damaged, we address it before laying new material. This step prevents creaking, gaps, and premature wear. We then install underlayment if required, cut each plank or tile to fit your room layout, and finish with baseboards or transition strips that match your home.

Once the flooring is installed, you will notice the room feels more stable, looks cleaner, and requires less effort to maintain. Spills wipe up easily, dirt does not embed into fibers, and the surface stays level without soft spots or shifting planks. The difference is especially noticeable in kitchens, bathrooms, and entryways where traffic and moisture are constant.

We also remove old flooring and dispose of it properly, though we do not handle asbestos abatement or structural subfloor replacement beyond standard leveling. If your project is part of a larger remodel, we coordinate timing with other trades to keep the schedule on track. After installation, your new flooring is ready for furniture and daily use without a long curing period.

Before committing to new flooring, homeowners in Richmond typically ask about material differences, installation time, and what happens to their existing floors. These are the questions we hear most often during consultations.

Most people want to know a few things first

What is the difference between laminate and vinyl flooring?
Laminate has a wood-based core and a photographic layer that mimics wood or stone, while vinyl is fully synthetic and more water-resistant. Vinyl works better in bathrooms and basements, while laminate offers a more authentic wood appearance in living areas.
How long does flooring installation take?
Most single-room installations in Richmond take one to two days, while whole-home projects take a week or more depending on square footage and material type. We provide a timeline after measuring your space and reviewing your material selection.
Why do some floors feel uneven after installation?
Uneven floors usually result from subfloor issues that were not addressed before installation. We inspect and level the subfloor as part of every job to prevent that problem.
What does your flooring warranty cover?
Our in-house workmanship warranty covers installation quality, seam integrity, and proper adhesion for the term outlined in your contract. It does not cover scratches, dents, or damage caused by furniture, water leaks, or improper cleaning.
When should I replace flooring instead of refinishing it?
If your floors have deep scratches, water damage, or structural issues such as soft spots or warping, replacement is usually more reliable than refinishing. Refinishing works best on solid hardwood in good condition, but not on laminate or engineered products.

If your floors in Richmond are worn, outdated, or showing damage, replacing them with hard-surface flooring restores both appearance and function. Juniors Construction & Remodeling, Inc installs laminate, vinyl, hardwood, and tile with attention to subfloor prep and long-term durability, and every project includes our in-house warranty.
