Your floors will laugh at spilled wine, muddy shoes, and that inevitable water leak. No more tiptoeing around your floors or panicking when someone forgets to wipe their feet after coming in from the beach.
You get the rich wood or stone look you want without the constant worry about moisture damage that comes with living on Long Island. These floors are built for real life—kids, pets, entertaining, and everything in between.
The best part? You actually save money in the long run because there’s no refinishing, no special cleaners, and no expensive repairs when water finds its way in.
We’ve been family-owned since 1988, which means we understand what St. James homeowners actually need. We’ve seen every type of moisture challenge, from basement flooding to beach house humidity.
Living in St. James means dealing with Long Island’s unique coastal climate. The salt air, seasonal storms, and high humidity create flooring challenges that big box stores simply don’t understand. But when you’re dealing with a $700,000+ home value, you need flooring that protects your investment.
We’re not some big box store that disappears after the sale. When you call in two years with a question, we’ll still be here—same family, same commitment to getting it right.
First, we come to your St. James home for a free consultation. We measure precisely, assess your subfloor, and help you choose from luxury vinyl plank, waterproof hardwood, or tile options that work specifically well in Long Island’s climate.
Next, we handle ordering and scheduling. Installation typically takes 1-2 days depending on your space size. Our crews show up when promised, protect your furniture and belongings, and work efficiently using dustless equipment when needed.
After installation, we walk through everything with you to ensure it meets both our standards and yours. Any concerns get addressed immediately—no waiting weeks for callbacks or dealing with subcontractors who don’t return calls.

We carry luxury vinyl plank (LVP), luxury vinyl tile (LVT), waterproof hardwood, and sheet vinyl options. Each option is 100% waterproof—not just water-resistant. For St. James homes, we often recommend LVP for main living areas because it gives you that authentic hardwood look families love.
LVT works great in kitchens and bathrooms where you want the tile appearance but with warmer, more comfortable footing. Everything comes with warranties that actually mean something when you need them, plus our Beautiful Guarantee® promises free replacement if you’re not completely satisfied.
St. James homeowners particularly appreciate the stain-resistant options that handle the reality of Long Island living—beach sand, pet accidents, wine spills, and everything else life throws at your floors. Quality luxury vinyl plank flooring lasts 20-50 years in high-traffic areas when properly installed and maintained.
Yes, quality waterproof flooring is 100% waterproof—not just water-resistant. This makes it perfect for Long Island’s coastal humidity and occasional flooding concerns that many St. James homeowners face.
The key is choosing true waterproof options, not just water-resistant alternatives. We only carry fully waterproof products that can handle standing water without damage to the flooring or subfloor underneath. For basements, bathrooms, kitchens, and entryways where moisture is a concern, waterproof flooring gives you complete peace of mind.
Most waterproof flooring installations in St. James homes take 1-2 days, depending on the square footage and complexity of your space. Simple rectangular rooms go faster than areas with lots of angles or built-ins.
For a typical living room and dining room, expect one full day. Whole-house projects usually take two days, sometimes three if we’re also handling stairs or custom work. We protect your furniture and belongings throughout the process, so you can stay in your home comfortably during installation.
LVP (luxury vinyl plank) is designed to look like hardwood flooring with realistic wood grain patterns and plank shapes. LVT (luxury vinyl tile) mimics ceramic, stone, or marble tiles with square or rectangular tile shapes.
For most St. James homes, LVP works beautifully in living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where you want that warm wood appearance. LVT is perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, and entryways where the tile look makes more sense. Both options are 100% waterproof and equally durable—the choice comes down to the aesthetic you prefer.
Absolutely. Waterproof flooring is specifically engineered to handle Long Island’s coastal humidity, salt air, and seasonal moisture challenges that St. James homeowners face regularly.
Unlike traditional hardwood that can warp, cup, or develop gaps in humid conditions, waterproof flooring maintains its stability and appearance year-round. You can mop with confidence and not worry about humidity damage during those muggy Long Island summers. It’s particularly valuable in St. James where homes are exposed to both seasonal storms and constant coastal moisture.
Yes, quality waterproof flooring can add significant value to St. James homes, especially given the area’s median home value of over $700,000. Potential buyers recognize the practical benefits of waterproof flooring in a coastal climate.
Modern waterproof options like luxury vinyl plank provide the aesthetic appeal of hardwood with superior moisture protection. This combination of beauty and functionality appeals to discerning buyers who understand Long Island’s unique climate challenges. The durability and low maintenance requirements also represent long-term value that sophisticated buyers appreciate.
We provide both manufacturer warranties on the flooring materials and our own Beautiful Guarantee® on installation workmanship. The Beautiful Guarantee® means if you don’t love your new waterproof flooring, we’ll replace it for free.
This covers situations where the flooring doesn’t look right in your space, doesn’t perform as expected, or simply doesn’t meet your expectations. The guarantee applies to both the flooring material and installation quality. If seams are visible, if the flooring doesn’t lay flat, or if there are any installation-related issues, we fix them at no charge.
