Why Hamptons Residents Choose Us

That’s three decades of understanding what works in Hamptons properties—from beachfront cottages dealing with sand and salt air to year-round estates that need to look perfect for both family dinners and charity galas. Local architects recommend us because we deliver what we promise. We show up with iPads to measure precisely, leave samples so you can see how they look in your actual lighting, and communicate throughout the process instead of disappearing for weeks. Our Beautiful Guarantee backs every installation. If you don’t love your floors, we replace them free. That’s confidence you can count on from people who plan to be here long after your project’s complete.

What Your Project Includes

Your residential flooring project covers everything from initial consultation through final cleanup. We handle hardwood installation, luxury vinyl planks, carpet, tile, and specialty services like floor refinishing and custom stair runners. Window treatments are available to complete your room’s transformation. Southampton properties have specific needs—salt air resistance for coastal homes, durability for high-traffic entertaining areas, aesthetics that complement the Hamptons style. We source materials that perform well in this environment and look right in these homes. Professional installation includes proper subfloor preparation, precise measurements, and protection of your existing furnishings and landscaping. We coordinate with your schedule, whether you’re preparing for summer season or working around year-round family life.

How long does residential flooring installation typically take in Southampton homes?

Most residential flooring projects in Southampton take 2-5 days depending on square footage and complexity. A typical 1,500 square foot hardwood installation usually completes in 3-4 days, while luxury vinyl can often be finished in 2-3 days. We build realistic timelines that account for proper prep work and drying time. Rush jobs lead to problems, so we schedule appropriately while respecting your deadlines. Many clients need floors completed before summer entertaining season or family gatherings, and we plan accordingly. Weather can affect some installations, particularly hardwood that needs specific humidity conditions. We monitor conditions and adjust scheduling to ensure optimal results rather than pushing through when conditions aren’t right.

What flooring works best for Hamptons homes near the water?

Luxury vinyl plank and engineered hardwood perform exceptionally well in coastal Southampton properties. Both handle humidity changes better than solid hardwood while maintaining the aesthetic you want. Porcelain tile works beautifully in entryways and high-traffic areas where sand gets tracked in. We avoid materials that expand and contract dramatically with moisture changes. Solid hardwood can work but requires careful climate control and proper acclimation. The salt air environment demands finishes that won’t break down quickly. For outdoor-adjacent areas like mudrooms and covered porches, we recommend materials specifically rated for moisture resistance. These areas get heavy use during summer months and need flooring that handles wet bathing suits, sandy feet, and temperature fluctuations without warping or staining.

Do you handle furniture moving and protection during installation?

Yes, we coordinate furniture moving as part of our installation service. For valuable or delicate pieces, we recommend professional movers, but we handle standard furniture relocation and provide protective coverings for items remaining in adjacent rooms. We protect your belongings with appropriate coverings and create pathways that minimize dust and debris spread. Your artwork, window treatments, and surfaces get covered before work begins. We’ve learned what matters to Hamptons homeowners and plan accordingly. Landscaping protection is equally important. We use plywood pathways for heavy equipment, protect plantings near entry points, and coordinate with your landscaper if needed. Many of our clients have invested significantly in their outdoor spaces, and we respect that investment throughout the project.

What's included in your Beautiful Guarantee for residential flooring?

Our Beautiful Guarantee means exactly what it says—if you don’t love your floors, we replace them free. This covers installation issues, material defects, or if the final result simply doesn’t match what you expected based on our consultation. The guarantee applies to both materials and workmanship. If boards warp due to improper installation, if stain color doesn’t match the sample you approved, or if the finished floor doesn’t look right in your space, we make it right at no additional cost. This isn’t about minor imperfections that come with natural materials—it’s about ensuring you’re completely satisfied with your investment. We’ve been in Southampton long enough to know our reputation depends on happy clients, not just completed projects.

Can you match existing hardwood floors for additions or renovations?

Matching existing hardwood is one of our specialties, though success depends on several factors. We can often achieve excellent matches by identifying the original wood species, stain color, and finish type. Age and sun exposure affect existing floors, so perfect matches aren’t always possible. For the best results, we recommend refinishing both old and new sections together when possible. This creates uniform appearance and eliminates the challenge of matching aged wood. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the approach most likely to achieve your desired outcome. When exact matching isn’t feasible, we can create intentional contrast that looks designed rather than mismatched. Many Southampton homes benefit from this approach, creating visual interest while maintaining the home’s overall aesthetic integrity.

What's the best time of year for flooring installation in Southampton?

Spring and fall typically offer the most stable conditions for flooring installation in Southampton. Humidity levels are more consistent, and temperature fluctuations are less extreme. This matters particularly for hardwood installations that need stable environmental conditions. Many clients prefer completing projects before summer entertaining season or after Labor Day when the house is quieter. We book heavily for spring installations as homeowners prepare for summer, so early planning helps secure your preferred timing. Winter installations work well for heated homes with consistent indoor conditions. Summer can be challenging due to high humidity and heavy household activity, but we successfully complete projects year-round by monitoring conditions and adjusting techniques accordingly.
