Install Flooring That Handles Daily Life

Flooring installation services in East Rutherford for luxury vinyl plank and hardwood, designed for busy households and long-term durability.

When the flooring in your East Rutherford home shows scratches that run through the finish or soft spots near the sink, it is time to replace it before the subfloor underneath starts to deteriorate. Paragon Home Remodeling Group installs luxury vinyl plank and hardwood flooring in kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces where durability and appearance both matter. You walk across floors that sit flat, feel solid underfoot, and look clean without constant upkeep.

This service includes removing old flooring, inspecting and leveling the subfloor, and installing new material that is suited to how the space is used. Luxury vinyl plank is popular in East Rutherford homes because it resists moisture, cleans easily, and installs quickly over most existing subfloors. Hardwood adds warmth and long-term value, though it requires more careful maintenance in areas prone to water exposure. Paragon Home Remodeling Group accounts for subfloor conditions common in older homes, including slight unevenness or squeaks that need to be addressed before the new flooring goes down.

If your East Rutherford home needs updated flooring that can handle daily traffic and spills, reach out to discuss which material makes sense for your space.

How Subfloor Prep Affects What You Walk On

The work begins with pulling up the existing flooring and checking the subfloor for soft spots, squeaks, or areas where moisture has caused swelling. In East Rutherford homes, this often reveals subflooring that needs screws tightened or sections replaced before the new material can be installed. Paragon Home Remodeling Group levels any uneven areas and ensures the surface is dry and stable before the first plank or board goes down.

Once the installation is complete, you see flooring that runs evenly from wall to wall without gaps, buckling, or movement when you walk across it. Luxury vinyl plank sits flat and resists scuffing from chairs and foot traffic, while hardwood develops a subtle patina over time that adds character without looking worn. The transitions between rooms are clean, and the floor no longer creaks or flexes when weight shifts.

This service does not include leveling concrete slabs or repairing structural joists, but it does address the subfloor conditions that affect how the finished flooring looks and performs. Paragon Home Remodeling Group ensures the surface is ready so the flooring lasts as long as it should without lifting or separating at the seams.

Questions That Come Up Before Installing Flooring

Homeowners often want to know how long the installation takes, whether furniture needs to be moved completely out of the room, and which flooring material holds up better in high-traffic areas. These five questions cover the practical details that shape the planning process.

How long does flooring installation take?
Most single-room installations take one to two days depending on the size of the space and the condition of the subfloor. Larger projects that involve multiple rooms or extensive subfloor repair may take longer, but Paragon Home Remodeling Group works to minimize downtime.
What is the difference between LVP and hardwood?
Luxury vinyl plank is waterproof, scratch-resistant, and less expensive, making it ideal for kitchens and bathrooms. Hardwood offers warmth and long-term value but requires more maintenance and is not recommended for areas with frequent moisture exposure.
What happens if the subfloor is uneven?
Paragon Home Remodeling Group levels the subfloor using self-leveling compound or shims before installing the new flooring. Uneven subfloors cause the finished floor to flex, gap, or creak, so prep work is necessary for a lasting result.
Why does moisture matter for flooring installation?
Moisture in the subfloor causes wood to swell and vinyl to lift at the seams, which leads to buckling and premature failure. Paragon Home Remodeling Group checks moisture levels before installation and addresses any issues to prevent future damage.
When is flooring replacement part of a larger remodel?
Flooring is often updated during kitchen or bathroom remodels because it is easier to install when cabinets and fixtures are already out of the way. It also makes sense when the existing flooring shows wear that does not match the updated finishes in the rest of the room.

Paragon Home Remodeling Group has installed flooring throughout East Rutherford in homes where the old material had lifted near doorways or discolored from years of foot traffic and spills. If your floors show wear or you are updating a room and want flooring that holds up, get in touch to discuss which material fits your space and budget.
