Installing floors in El Dorado Hills homes
El Dorado Hills is mostly new: 90% of its homes are single-family houses, the median home value is about $916,000, and the 2000s alone added 6,687 homes in Blackstone, The Promontory and Serrano.
Big open main floors are common here, and owners often want real wood. Engineered oak floats or glues down over a slab; a wide 9-1/2 inch plank suits a large great room.
Soils around El Dorado Hills carry naturally occurring asbestos, and the federal health agency advises damp cleaning to keep dust down. A hard floor that is damp-mopped is easier to keep that way than carpet.
El Dorado Hills sits at about 770 ft: about 24 days a year above 100°F. Wood floors are acclimated in your house first, and we leave the expansion gap the maker asks for.
El Dorado Hills flooring questions
Do I need a permit to replace flooring in El Dorado Hills?
No. El Dorado County's building rules list painting, papering, tiling, carpeting, cabinets, counter tops and similar finish work as exempt, and replacing a floor covering falls under it. Architectural review in El Dorado Hills covers exterior work.
How much does it cost to install 1,000 sq ft of flooring in El Dorado Hills?
With our rates and carpet coming out: about $7,090 for LVP, $7,320 for laminate and $13,160 for engineered hardwood, including material, installation, baseboard, transitions, haul-away and delivery. 2,000 sq ft of LVP replacing builder tile runs about $19,880. The final number comes from the measure.
Do you remove the old floor?
Yes. Carpet and pad, sheet vinyl, LVP and laminate come out at $0.50 per sq ft; tile is $3.50 per sq ft. Haul-away is $150 per truckload of about 600 sq ft.
How much do I pay up front?
Nothing on the website. For installation, California caps the down payment at $1,000 or 10% of the contract, whichever is less, and the rest is paid as work is done.
Is LVP a good idea with El Dorado Hills summers?
Yes, if it is rigid-core and installed with the expansion gap the maker specifies. Floors next to big west- or south-facing glass get the most heat; shades help any floor last.
