FLOORING INSTALLATION
DC, MD & VA
New floors are one of the highest-ROI upgrades you can make to any DMV home. 5 Star Pros installs hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, tile, and laminate — with meticulous subfloor prep that makes the difference between a floor that lasts and one that doesn't.
FLOORING INSTALLATION
DONE RIGHT IN THE DMV
Walk into any home in Silver Spring, Bethesda, or Arlington and you'll likely find one of two things under the carpet: beautiful hardwood that just needs a refresh, or a subfloor that's been covered up with layer after layer of dated linoleum and worn vinyl. DMV homes — many built between the 1950s and 1980s — were not designed with modern flooring products in mind. That's why professional installation matters. The wrong install over a poorly prepped subfloor leads to squeaks, buckling, and gaps within months.
At 5 Star Pros, we start every flooring project with a thorough subfloor assessment. We check for level, look for soft spots or water damage, address any squeaks before they're buried under new material, and ensure the surface is clean, dry, and ready for the specific product being installed. Whether we're floating a click-lock LVP over concrete in a basement or face-nailing solid oak to a wood subfloor in a classic Colonial, the prep is what earns the result.
We carry and install all major flooring types — including hardwood, engineered hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, laminate, porcelain tile, and natural stone tile. Every job includes demo and disposal of the old floor, installation of new transitions and baseboards, and a final walk to make sure every seam, edge, and corner meets our standard. No subcontracting, no surprise charges, and a workmanship warranty on every installation we complete.

PRICING GUIDE
Estimates vary by material, square footage, and subfloor condition. Your quote is always free.
OUR PROCESS
We visit your home, measure every room, assess the subfloor condition, and walk you through material options at every price point. Your quote is itemized and free.
We demo the old floor completely — carpet, tack strips, staples, old vinyl — then flatten, secure, and treat the subfloor so the new product has a stable foundation.
Flooring goes in row by row with proper expansion gaps, staggered seams, and manufacturer specs followed to protect your warranty. Tile jobs cure fully before grouting.
We install new baseboards or shoe molding, cut and fit all transition strips between rooms, and haul away every scrap of debris before the final walkthrough.
