Water Resistant Laminate
Slush from the Minuteman Bikeway, a wet retriever back from the Concord River and spilled cereal are no match for water resistant laminate.

A foam layer sits beneath all the laminate we install in Bedford. It takes the hardness out of each step and keeps noise from carrying downstairs, and on concrete a plastic sheet goes under the foam.
Screens lie about color, so the estimator brings full laminate boards and sets them down in each room near the windows so you see the real shade.
If the workmanship fails in the first year we repair it on our dime. Faulty planks go back to the manufacturer under its warranty, and everyone on the crew is licensed and insured.



$1.99/Sq Ft for labor, foam pad thrown in. If the planks come from our Natick warehouse too, the installed price is $4.89/Sq Ft.
Yes. A doormat and a nightly sweep handle most of the grit, and felt pads on the chair legs stop the rest of the scratching.
Planks reach the house the day after ordering, and laminate skips the acclimation wait, so one room typically goes in and gets finished the same day.
On a dry slab, yes, with a vapor barrier first. If the basement takes on water in spring, vinyl plank is the better product and we will say so.
Roughly $1.00/Sq Ft, and the carpet, padding and tack strips leave on our truck. The subfloor underneath gets checked during the estimate so the figure is firm.
No. The wear layer stands up to claws, so trimmed nails, a mat under the water dish and quick cleanup of accidents keep it looking new for years.
Labor is $50 per step. Stairs in a Bedford colonial get nosing in the matching plank color so the steps flow into the hallway floor.
Yes. One year on the labor from us, plank defects handled by the manufacturer, and a licensed, insured Brazil Floors employee on every job.
