Commercial Flooring Solutions
Professional Flooring for Offices, Retail, Restaurants, and Business Environments
Business Continuity
Unlike homeowners who can temporarily relocate, businesses often need to remain operational during flooring work. We plan installations to minimize disruption and can work nights and weekends when required.
Concrete Subfloors
Most commercial construction uses concrete slab subfloors, requiring different installation methods, moisture testing protocols, and product specifications than wood-framed residential construction.
Our Commercial Flooring Services
New Construction Installation
We partner with general contractors, architects, and business owners to deliver flooring installations that meet specifications, timelines, and budgets.
Our Process: Review architectural drawings and specifications, conduct site visits to assess conditions, provide detailed proposals with product recommendations, coordinate scheduling with other trades, execute installation to spec, and complete final walkthrough with punch list.
Tenant Improvements & Renovation
Refreshing an existing space requires careful planning to protect existing finishes, coordinate with ongoing operations, and meet lease deadlines.
Expertise In: Existing flooring removal and disposal, subfloor repair and leveling, installation around fixtures and millwork, phased installation for business continuity, and after-hours/weekend scheduling.
Commercial Refinishing
Extend the life of existing hardwood with professional refinishing that minimizes downtime and restores worn floors to like-new condition.
Includes: High-traffic wear pattern restoration, commercial-grade finish systems for maximum durability, fast-cure finish options to reduce downtime, and color change/rebranding support.
Maintenance Programs
Protect your flooring investment with scheduled maintenance that prevents costly refinishing.
Program Options: Regular cleaning protocol development, periodic recoating schedules, damage assessment and spot repair, and staff training on proper care.
Flooring Products for Commercial Environments
We install a comprehensive range of commercial-grade flooring, selecting the optimal product for each application:
Engineered Hardwood
Wood flooring brings warmth and prestige to commercial spaces—and with proper specification, performs beautifully under commercial traffic.
Best For: Corporate offices, law firms, boutique retail, executive suites, restaurants, hotels
Commercial Considerations: Thick wear layers (4mm+) for refinishing capability, factory-finished products with commercial-grade coatings, full-trowel glue-down installation over concrete, species selection for hardness (white oak, hickory, walnut), and oil finishes for easy spot maintenance.
Per NWFA guidelines: Engineered flooring is recommended over solid hardwood for commercial installations due to superior dimensional stability over concrete subfloors.
Luxury Vinyl Plank/Tile (LVP/LVT)
The fastest-growing commercial flooring category, luxury vinyl delivers exceptional durability, waterproof performance, and realistic wood/stone aesthetics at attractive price points.
Best For: Medical offices, retail, restaurants, education, multi-family housing, high-traffic common areas
Commercial Advantages: 100% waterproof (ideal for restaurants and healthcare), 20+ mil wear layers rated for commercial traffic, glue-down options eliminate hollow sounds, individual plank replacement possible if damaged, antimicrobial options for healthcare, and slip-resistant textures available.
Laminate Flooring
Budget-friendly option for large-scale commercial projects where realistic wood appearance is needed without premium pricing.
Best For: Large retail spaces, model units, temporary installations, budget-conscious renovations
Considerations: AC4-AC5 ratings for commercial use, quick installation for tight timelines, not suitable for wet areas or heavy rolling loads.
