Find answers to common questions about our flooring services in Long Branch, New Jersey. Clear Choice Floors ensures clarity, quality, and expert guidance every step.
How long does hardwood flooring installation typically take?
Most installations take three to five days, depending on the room size and preparation needed. The process includes acclimating the wood, subfloor preparation, installation, and finishing for durability and shine.
What makes vinyl flooring a good option for busy households?
Vinyl flooring resists water, stains, and scratches. It’s easy to clean, making it ideal for families with pets or children. Plus, modern vinyl mimics wood or tile at a fraction of the cost.
How often should floors be refinished?
Typically, hardwood floors should be refinished every 7–10 years, depending on wear and foot traffic. Proper refinishing preserves the wood, restores shine, and prevents the need for premature replacement.
Are your painting materials eco-friendly?
Yes. We prioritize low-VOC and non-toxic paints that protect indoor air quality while offering vibrant, lasting color. It’s part of our commitment to creating healthier, more beautiful living spaces.
Does Clear Choice Floors handle residential projects in Long Branch, New Jersey?
Absolutely. We provide flooring and painting services for home spaces, tailoring every project to meet each client's unique needs.
Can existing vinyl floors be replaced without removing the subfloor?
Yes, in most cases. As long as the subfloor is level and secure, new vinyl can be installed directly on top, saving time and reducing installation costs.
How do I maintain freshly refinished hardwood floors?
Avoid water for at least 48 hours after refinishing. Use soft-bristle brooms and non-abrasive cleaners. Place pads under furniture to prevent scratches and keep your floors looking new.
Why should I hire a professional flooring contractor instead of DIY?
Professionals ensure accurate leveling, seamless installation, and durable finishing. Improper DIY work can cause uneven surfaces, gaps, or premature damage—costing more in repairs later.
