Yes. BVA Services Corp is a licensed and insured flooring installer. You deal directly with the crew that installs your floor — never a call center or a rotating subcontractor.

As a 2026 guide: luxury vinyl plank runs about $5–$9/sq ft installed, laminate $4.50–$8.50, hardwood $9–$18, porcelain tile $9–$20, and stair treads $80–$240 per step. Your real number depends on the product and how much subfloor prep your home needs.

Because an honest price needs a measurement. Square footage, subfloor condition, tear-out, and layout all move the number. Anyone quoting an exact total sight-unseen is guessing — we send a written, itemized estimate after a free measurement instead.

Typically a deposit at signing to reserve your install date and order materials, with the balance due when the job passes our final 52-point inspection. Everything is in writing up front — no surprise upcharges mid-job.

Always. Even waterproof flooring sits on a subfloor that can hold or transmit moisture. Documented moisture testing and a 48–72 hour acclimation window are standard on every BVA install — it's how we prevent mold, cupping, and adhesive failure.

Every install comes with a written workmanship warranty, on top of the manufacturer's product warranty (which ranges from about 15 years to lifetime depending on the material). See our warranty page for details.
