New floors for St. Petersburg homes and condos

Flow Home Services handles flooring installation in St. Petersburg homes and condos. We put down luxury vinyl plank, laminate and tile floors. Most of the job happens before the first plank goes down: pulling the old floor and flattening the slab. Call or text (727) 404-7164 for a free estimate.

Homes here sit on concrete slabs, and slabs are rarely flat. A floor that skips the prep will click and flex later. Send photos of the rooms and we can work up an estimate without a visit. We also handle handyman work around St. Petersburg, so one company covers the floor and the repair list.

What We Handle

  • Luxury vinyl plank floors in bedrooms, living rooms and whole homes
  • Laminate plank floors with matching trim
  • Tile floors set over a membrane or backer board
  • Old carpet, tile, laminate and glued down vinyl pulled up and taken out
  • Slab prep: grinding down high spots and filling the low ones
  • Threshold strips where the new floor meets tile or carpet in the next room
  • New baseboard and quarter round, or the old trim put back
  • Floors for condos, older block homes and storm rebuilds

Vinyl Plank, Laminate and Tile Flooring Installation

Luxury vinyl plank is the floor most people here ask for. Most of it is waterproof, it clicks together over the slab, and it handles sand and wet feet. Planks come in wood looks and tile looks, in a few widths and thicknesses.

Laminate looks close to real wood and holds up well in bedrooms and living rooms. It does not like standing water, so we keep it out of laundry rooms and bathrooms. Thicker planks and a good pad under them make a floor sound solid instead of hollow.

Tile is the third option, and it fits bathrooms, entries and kitchens. Tile goes over a membrane or backer board, so a crack in the slab stays out of the grout. Tile installation covers the layout, the cuts and the grout in more detail.

Floor Prep, Thresholds and Trim

Prep is most of the work. Old carpet comes up with the tack strip and any pad stapled to the floor. Old tile and glued down vinyl take longer, since the mortar or glue has to come off the slab too.

Then the slab gets checked with a straightedge. High spots get ground down. Low spots get filled with a patch or a self leveling mix. That has to cure before anything goes on top.

Baseboard either comes off and goes back on, or stays put with new quarter round at the wall. Where the new floor meets tile or carpet in the next room, a threshold strip covers the edge. Trim that comes off usually wants a fresh coat, and interior painting handles that part.

Flooring in St. Petersburg Condos and Older Block Homes

Much of St. Petersburg was built as 1950s to 1970s block ranch homes. Pull up the carpet in one and there is often terrazzo underneath. Terrazzo that is flat and sound can stay as the base for a new plank floor. Bungalows in the older neighborhoods can have wood subfloors instead, which get checked for soft spots and squeaks first.

Condos come with rules of their own. Many buildings ask for an underlayment under hard flooring to keep footsteps quiet, and some limit when work can happen. Get the rules from your association before you buy material, and we install what the building allows.

Helene and Milton flooded low lying neighborhoods here in 2024. Homes in Shore Acres, Riviera Bay and the beach towns lost floors and the bottom of the walls. We come in on the finish side, once the room is dry and the slab is clean. Drywall repair covers the wall side of a rebuild.

FAQ

Flooring Installation Questions, Answered

Common questions about flooring installation across St. Petersburg and Pinellas County. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.

Call (727) 404-7164

What drives the cost of a new floor?
Square footage first, then how much old flooring has to come out. A slab that needs grinding or a leveling mix adds time, and so does tile removal. The material you pick and the amount of trim and threshold work move the number too. Estimates are free, so send photos or call or text (727) 404-7164.
Do you pull up the old flooring?
Yes. Carpet, pad and tack strip come out, and so do old tile, laminate and glued down vinyl. Tile is the slowest to remove, because the mortar has to come off the slab as well. The room gets cleaned up before the new floor starts.
Can new flooring go over the floor that is there now?
Sometimes. Vinyl plank can float over terrazzo or sound tile when the surface is flat and clean. Loose or hollow tile has to come out first. Height matters too, since a thick floor can stop a door from clearing.
How long does flooring installation take?
The prep drives the schedule more than the plank does. A single room with a flat slab moves fast, and a whole house with tile removal takes longer. Leveling mix has to cure before the floor goes down. We lay out the order of work with the estimate.
Our building asks for a sound underlayment. Can you install one?
Yes. Underlayment goes down over the slab first, and it keeps the floor quieter for the unit below. Some planks come with a pad attached, which changes what you need. Send us your association's rule and we match the material to it.
Do you install floors as part of a remodel?
Yes. Floors go in during a bathroom remodel or a kitchen update, after the tile and paint work. Doing it in one job keeps the thresholds and trim lined up between rooms. One estimate covers the whole scope.
