Frequently asked questions about James River Flooring and our services.
How do I choose the right flooring for my Richmond home?
Consider your lifestyle, budget, and room function. High-moisture areas like bathrooms need waterproof options like tile or vinyl. High-traffic spaces benefit from durable laminate or hardwood. Pet owners should prioritize scratch-resistant materials. Our free consultation helps Richmond homeowners match the perfect flooring to their specific needs and budget.
How long does it take to install new flooring in Richmond?
Most Richmond flooring installations take anywhere from a few hours up to 3 days for standard residential projects. Laminate and vinyl install quickest, often in one day.
