Flooring Installation in Jacksonville & Northeast Florida

It depends on the size and scope of the work, so we price every project individually after seeing it in person. As a concrete reference point, a small bathroom of roughly 7x5 typically runs $10,000 to $14,000, and a master bathroom typically runs $17,000 to $35,000, with materials included in both. Your written proposal arrives within 48 hours of the on-site consultation and lays out the full scope and price, so you are never comparing guesses. Estimates and consultations are free.

We provide them. Through our partnership with Floor & Decor you work directly with an in-store designer to choose colours, tile, and finishes, and your selections go onto a form under our account. From there we purchase, pick up, and deliver everything to the job site. You get to make the fun decisions without managing orders, deliveries, or returns.

Yes. GIL pulls and handles all permits for your project — that is part of what you are hiring a licensed contractor to do, and it is included. Our licensed plumbing and electrical subcontractors pull their own trade permits under our master permit. You do not need to contact the building department or schedule an inspection yourself.

We give you a schedule in the written proposal and we finish on or ahead of it. A small bathroom is usually about 7 days including permitting; a master bathroom is typically 2 to 3 weeks. Larger work such as an addition or new construction runs longer and is scheduled specifically for your project. We complete 30 to 40 projects a year, so our timelines come from experience rather than optimism.

Cesar Perdomo, and he manages customers exclusively. This is the structural difference at GIL: our business partner runs the job sites, so Cesar is never pulled onto a roof or under a house when you call. At most contracting companies one person does both jobs, which is exactly why homeowners cannot reach their contractor mid-project. Someone here is always reachable by phone — no run-arounds and no no-shows.

It is priced by the project rather than by a flat rate, because two floors of identical size can cost very different amounts. What moves the number is the material you choose, the total square footage, the condition of the subfloor once the old flooring is up, how much tear-out and disposal is involved, and how many rooms, thresholds, and stair treads have to be detailed. We measure everything on site and give you one comprehensive written proposal within 48 hours, with the materials and the prep work both in it. The estimate and the consultation are free.

Subfloor prep is the levelling and moisture control done after the old floor comes up and before the new one goes down, and it is what decides whether a floor lasts five years or twenty. A floor laid over a subfloor that is not flat will telegraph every dip and high spot — grout cracks, planks separate at the seams, and hollow spots appear underfoot. A floor laid over a subfloor with a moisture problem fails whatever material you chose. It is also the invisible line item, which is exactly why it is the first thing a cheap bid leaves out.

Tile and luxury vinyl plank are the most forgiving choices in this climate, because neither is damaged by humidity and both tolerate the occasional spill or wet foot that comes with living in Florida. Hardwood is absolutely possible here and looks like nothing else, but it moves with humidity and needs both the right installation method and a stable indoor environment. Laminate handles humidity reasonably but does not tolerate standing water, which makes it a better fit for bedrooms and living areas than for bathrooms. We will talk through the trade-offs for your rooms at the consultation rather than pushing you toward one material.

Usually yes, and it is the honest answer even though it adds work. Taking the old floor up is what lets us see and correct the subfloor underneath, which is the part that determines how long the new floor lasts. Installing over an existing floor is occasionally sensible, but it raises the finished height at every doorway and it means accepting whatever is underneath sight unseen. We assess it on site and tell you plainly which one your floor calls for.

Yes — and they are worth asking about, because they are where a flooring job visibly succeeds or fails. Transitions between rooms and between two different materials, thresholds at doorways, and the baseboard or shoe moulding at the wall all have to be detailed properly or the finished floor looks unresolved no matter how good the material is. It is included in the scope of your written proposal rather than treated as an extra at the end.
