Water Resistant Laminate
Water resistant laminate handles tracked in slush, a leaky dog dish and the occasional juice box, provided puddles get mopped up instead of left overnight.

Laminate floats over a thin foam underlayment, which softens footsteps and cuts that hollow click. On a basement slab, plastic sheeting goes under it to block ground moisture.
Our van pulls up with a stack of laminate samples, and you lay a few next to the kitchen cabinets and the sectional before settling on one color.
Twelve months of labor protection follow each laminate job we finish here, and the plank brand handles the material under its own manufacturer warranty.



Installing laminate is $1.99/Sq Ft. When old carpet or vinyl must be torn out beforehand, add about $1.00/Sq Ft. We measure every room during the free visit, so the full number is clear before anything starts.
Water resistant laminate does fine in kitchens and half baths as long as spills are wiped up. For a full bath with a shower, we usually steer people toward vinyl plank instead.
Yes, over a dry slab. We lay plastic sheeting first to block moisture from the concrete, then the foam and planks. For a basement with a history of water, we would point you to vinyl plank.
A good foam underlayment takes most of the hollow sound away. Thicker planks also help, and our estimator carries a few so you can step on them before choosing.
A single room usually takes one day. A basement or a full first floor takes two or three, depending on how much trim and how many doorways are involved.
Laminate's tough top layer resists scratches well. Keeping nails trimmed and putting felt pads under chairs goes a long way.
The install is settled the morning our installers show up. Planks bought from our warehouse are paid when the truck drops them at your door.
One year of workmanship coverage comes with the install, and the plank manufacturer adds its own warranty on the material. Should a seam lift, we send someone out to fix it.
