About Premium Flooring Co
You do not want to tear up a brand new floor three months after paying for it.
That is the exact nightmare Premium Flooring Co exists to prevent.
We cover the unglamorous reality of flooring installation, material selection, and project costs. The foundation of your home’s most beautiful spaces requires more than just picking a nice color from a showroom display. It requires proper subfloor preparation, accurate moisture testing, and a deep understanding of how different materials react to daily life. We strip away the marketing noise.
We built this resource for homeowners who want the truth about their floors. If you need to know whether luxury vinyl plank will survive your basement moisture levels, you are in the right place. If you are wondering if solid hardwood is a mistake for your master bathroom, we have the answer. We focus entirely on what actually works underfoot.
Our Story and The Reality of the Job Site
The idea for this site started on a residential job site. We watched a homeowner cry over a buckling $15,000 engineered hardwood floor. The installer skipped the calcium chloride moisture test. The concrete slab was too wet, the floor expanded, and the entire ground level was ruined.
That single failure sparked a realization. Most buyers only look at the wear layer and the warranty. They ignore the environment. They buy materials on sale at a big box store and hire the cheapest contractor they can find. Then they wonder why their new luxury planks are separating at the seams.
We decided to document the right way to handle these projects. We started writing down the exact questions you need to ask before buying a new floor. We cataloged the costly installation mistakes we saw repeated across hardwood, LVP, and tile jobs.
Three years of testing. Zero shortcuts. Real results.
We built Premium Flooring Co to be the manual you read before you let anyone with a nail gun near your house. We want you to understand the mechanics of a good floor. We want you to spot a bad contractor before they pour a single drop of self leveling compound.
