New floors start below the surface

Tile and flooring in Bozeman has to handle snow tracked in from fall to late spring, dry winter air and subfloors that are not always flat. We check flatness and moisture first, help you choose between vinyl plank, tile and engineered wood, then lay the floor and trim it out with new baseboard or shoe molding. Our craftsmen are background checked and the work is guaranteed in writing for one year. Call (800) 884-2639 for an estimate.

Bozeman homes come in two broad kinds, and floors behave differently in each. Older houses near downtown, in the Bon Ton and South Willson districts and the Northeast neighborhood, often have floors that have settled over a century and need leveling before anything rigid goes down. Newer homes on the west and north sides tend to have builder-grade carpet and vinyl that owners want to replace with something tougher.

Low humidity matters too. Solid hardwood shrinks in a Bozeman winter and gaps open between boards, which is one reason vinyl plank, tile and engineered wood are popular here. Tile repair is a big part of the work as well: cracked floor tiles, failing grout in showers, and backsplashes that need a refresh without replacing the counters.

What we install

Tile and flooring work

01

Luxury vinyl plank

Waterproof plank for basements, kitchens and baths, with new baseboard or shoe molding.

02

Tile floors

Porcelain and ceramic floors in entries, mudrooms, laundry rooms, baths and kitchens.

03

Backsplashes

Subway, mosaic and patterned tile backsplashes behind counters, ranges and wet bars.

04

Shower and tub tile

Cracked tile replaced, failing grout ground out and regrouted, and surrounds resealed.

05

Tile repair

Loose or cracked floor tiles lifted and reset, with matching grout where available.

06

Transitions and stairs

Thresholds, reducers and stair nosings fitted where different floors meet.

Flat floors start with the subfloor

Rigid plank and large-format tile need a flat base. We check the floor with a long straightedge, grind down high spots and fill low ones before installing anything. In an older Bozeman house with settled framing, that prep can be most of the job. It is what keeps plank joints from separating, tile corners from cracking and floors from feeling hollow underfoot, and it is the step that gets skipped most often on cheap installs.

Materials

Choosing the right floor

01

Luxury vinyl plank

Waterproof, warm, quiet and stable through dry winters. A good fit for most basements, mudrooms and busy family rooms.

02

Porcelain and ceramic tile

The most durable choice for entries and mudrooms that take snow, boots and ski gear all winter. Cold underfoot unless paired with in-floor heat.

03

Engineered wood

Real wood on a stable core that moves less than solid hardwood when Bozeman air dries out in winter. Not for wet areas.

Cost

What affects the cost of flooring

Square footage and layout

More rooms and more cuts around cabinets, closets and stairs add time.

Frequently asked questions

What flooring works best in a basement?
Waterproof luxury vinyl plank is the most common choice for basements because it tolerates some slab moisture and is warmer underfoot than tile. Tile is also a good option.
Why do hardwood floors gap in winter in Bozeman?
The air here is dry, and in winter it gets drier still with the heat running. Solid wood loses moisture and shrinks, so gaps open between boards and usually close up again in summer. Engineered wood and vinyl plank move much less.
Can you install flooring over the old floor?
Sometimes. Vinyl plank can often go over sound, flat sheet vinyl or tile. Carpet and anything loose or uneven needs to come out first.
Do you regrout showers?
Yes. We grind out failing grout, regrout, and reseal, and replace cracked tiles when matching tile is available.
Can you replace one cracked tile?
Often, yes, if matching tile is available. We cut out the damaged tile, set a replacement and regrout it.
Do you install backsplashes?
Yes. We install backsplashes from simple subway tile to patterned and mosaic tile.
Do you remove the old flooring?
Yes. Removing old carpet, vinyl or tile and preparing the subfloor is part of a flooring project.
Why are my vinyl plank joints separating?
Usually because the subfloor underneath was not flat enough, or the floor was installed without room to expand. It can often be repaired.
Can tile go in a mudroom or entry?
Yes. Porcelain tile is one of the best choices for entries and mudrooms that see snow, boots and gear for most of the year.
Is flooring work covered by your guarantee?
Yes. Our workmanship is guaranteed in writing for one year from the invoice date. If a defect in our work appears in that time, we repair it free of charge under the terms of your agreement.
