You get floors that don’t squeak three weeks after installation. You get materials that can handle the moisture swings coastal homes deal with year-round. You get a warranty that actually means something because the installation was done correctly from the subfloor up.
When you’re this close to the ocean, humidity isn’t optional. It’s a daily reality. That means engineered hardwood flooring in Surfside Beach, SC outperforms solid wood every time. It means luxury vinyl flooring and waterproof laminate flooring aren’t just trendy—they’re practical.
You’re not just buying new floors. You’re buying peace of mind that the next storm surge won’t ruin your investment, and that your floors will still look good five years from now without needing a redo.
We’ve been installing custom flooring in Surfside Beach, SC and across the Carolinas for over two decades. We’re not new to coastal installs, and we’re not learning on your dime.
We know what works in homes three blocks from the beach and what fails six months later. We’ve seen the aftermath of bad installations—the buckling wood flooring, the lifting vinyl, the tile that cracks because someone skipped proper underlayment.
That’s why we offer a lifetime installation warranty on our 20Mil luxury vinyl plank. It’s why we’re BBB accredited and were named a Neighborhood Favorite in 2023. We show up when we say we will, we finish on schedule, and we don’t disappear after the check clears.
It starts with a free in-home consultation. We measure your space, talk about how you actually use your rooms, and discuss what flooring types make sense for your home’s location and your lifestyle. If you’re two miles from the ocean, we’re not recommending solid hardwood. If you’ve got kids and dogs, we’re steering you toward something that can take a beating.
Once you choose your materials—whether that’s custom carpet, hardwood flooring, vinyl flooring, laminate flooring, or custom tiles in Surfside Beach, SC—we schedule the install around your timeline. We prep the subfloor properly, which is where most DIY jobs and cheap contractors fail. Subfloor prep isn’t glamorous, but it’s the difference between floors that last and floors that need replacing in three years.
Installation day, we show up on time with the right crew and the right tools. We don’t rush. We don’t cut corners. And when we’re done, we walk you through care instructions so you know exactly how to maintain what you just invested in.

Surfside Beach homeowners are dealing with a growing real estate market—median home values hit $395,000 in 2025 with over 300 active sales. That means competition when you sell. Professionally installed wood flooring or luxury vinyl can increase your home’s value by up to 2.5%, and hardwood offers a 118% ROI on average. You’re not just upgrading your space. You’re protecting your investment in a market where buyers notice details.
We also offer remodeling services, so if you’re redoing your bathroom or kitchen at the same time, we can handle tile showers, backsplashes, and full room transformations in one project.
Luxury vinyl plank and porcelain tile are your best bets if you’re within a few miles of the ocean. Both are 100% waterproof, which matters when you’re dealing with humidity, potential flooding, and the occasional storm surge that brings water where it shouldn’t be.
Engineered hardwood can work if you want the look of wood flooring in Surfside Beach, SC, but it needs to have a waterproof core. Solid hardwood expands and contracts too much in coastal climates. You’ll end up with gaps in winter and buckling in summer.
Carpet can work in bedrooms, but skip it in high-traffic or moisture-prone areas. Laminate flooring is fine if it’s the waterproof kind—regular laminate will swell and warp the first time water sits on it for more than a few minutes.
For an average-sized room—say 200 to 300 square feet—expect one to two days for most flooring types. Larger spaces or whole-home installations can take a week or more, depending on the material and how much prep work the subfloor needs.
Tile takes longer than vinyl or laminate because of drying time for mortar and grout. Hardwood installation in Surfside Beach, SC also takes more time because each plank needs to be carefully placed and acclimated to your home’s humidity levels before we even start.
If we’re pulling up old flooring first, add another day or two. Rushing an install is how you end up with squeaky floors, visible seams, or tiles that crack. We’d rather take the extra time and do it right than finish fast and have you call us back in six months.
You can DIY, but most homeowners who try end up needing significant rework within the first few years. Flooring installation looks straightforward until you hit an uneven subfloor, a tricky doorway transition, or a room that’s not perfectly square—which is most rooms.
Professional installation also protects your warranty. Many flooring manufacturers require licensed installation to keep the warranty valid. If something goes wrong and you installed it yourself, you’re on your own.
The bigger issue is coastal-specific challenges. If you don’t know how to account for humidity expansion or how to properly seal edges in a flood-prone area, you’re setting yourself up for expensive fixes down the road. We’ve seen plenty of DIY luxury vinyl plank installations in Surfside Beach, SC that looked fine at first but started lifting or gapping within a year because the subfloor wasn’t prepped correctly.
Luxury vinyl plank typically runs $2.69 to $5 per square foot installed, depending on the quality and thickness. Hardwood flooring in Surfside Beach, SC usually starts around $6 per square foot and can go up to $12 or more for premium species and finishes.
The upfront cost difference is real, but so is the performance difference in a coastal climate. Hardwood adds more resale value—about $6,500 on average and a 118% ROI. But vinyl is 100% waterproof and requires way less maintenance. You won’t need to refinish it every decade like you do with wood.
If you love the look of wood but want the durability of vinyl, high-end vinyl planks now mimic hardwood so well that most people can’t tell the difference from three feet away. It’s worth seeing samples in person before you decide based on price alone.
Walk around and listen for squeaks, soft spots, or areas that feel uneven. Those are red flags. If your current flooring is already buckling, warping, or has visible water damage, the subfloor likely has issues too.
During our free consultation, we check the subfloor as part of the estimate. We’re looking for moisture levels, structural integrity, and whether it’s level enough for the flooring type you want. Tile and hardwood are less forgiving than vinyl when it comes to subfloor imperfections.
Fixing a subfloor adds to the cost and timeline, but skipping that step is how you end up with flooring that fails early. It’s not the fun part of the project, but it’s the most important part. A bad subfloor will ruin even the most expensive flooring you can buy.
Yes. We handle bathroom and kitchen remodeling in Surfside Beach, SC, so we can coordinate flooring installation with tile showers, countertops, and cabinetry work. It’s actually easier to do it all at once because we can plan the sequence and avoid having to come back multiple times.
If you’re working with other contractors, we can schedule around their timelines. Just know that flooring usually goes in toward the end of a remodel, after drywall, paint, and major fixtures are done. That protects your new floors from getting scratched or damaged during the rest of the project.
We also install custom tiles for backsplashes, shower surrounds, and entryways. If you want a cohesive look throughout your remodel, it makes sense to use one contractor who understands how all the pieces fit together instead of coordinating three different companies.
