Water Resistant Laminate
Water resistant laminate today can take a spilled mug of cider, a dripping umbrella or slush off the barn boots if you dry it the same day. The subfloor gets checked before we start.

A foam pad under each plank cushions every step and muffles that hollow click. Concrete cellar floors in town also get a layer of poly film laid down first to stop ground moisture.
Skip the trip to a Hadley showroom. Our estimator carries sample planks into your house, and you get to judge them next to the sofa, wall color and cabinets in your own light.
Our licensed and insured crew guarantees the workmanship on each laminate install for one full year. Problems with the planks themselves go through the maker's warranty.



Labor costs $1.99/Sq Ft, and foam underlayment comes free. When old carpet is still down, expect roughly $1.00/Sq Ft more to haul it off. You'll see both numbers on a written quote after a free visit.
Over a dry slab, yes, with a vapor barrier under the foam. If the cellar floods in spring, waterproof vinyl is the better choice.
Small dips are fine. Bigger humps or sags in an old farmhouse need leveling first, or the click joints strain and can open up after a winter or two.
Yes, with normal care. Keep it a few feet from the stove hearth, and a humidifier helps all floors stay steady in dry winter air.
Yes, the charge is $250 for the whole job. Box up knickknacks, picture frames and the good china beforehand, and our crew carries out the couches, beds and dressers.
Most rooms take a single day, and a whole finished cellar about two. Laminate has no glue to set, so the kids can play on it and the beds go back in that evening.
We don't install laminate on stairs, since the nosings don't hold up. To tie the stairs in with the new floor, we can build oak or vinyl treads in a close shade.
Laminate labor carries a year of coverage. Any seam that separates or plank that rises because of a mistake on our part gets repaired by a crew member, free.
