From first visitto final walkthrough.

Yes. In-home consultations and showroom visits are complimentary, with no obligation.

We bring samples to your home so you can compare them in your own light. We walk through material options and installation methods, measure your space, and answer your questions about the tricky areas, like stairs, transitions and uneven floors. Most visits take 30 minutes to an hour, and it’s complimentary, with no obligation.

We’ll let you know when to expect it at your consultation. We take the time to price every project carefully, so the number is right the first time.

It depends on a few things: the material you choose, the size of the space, what’s underneath and how much prep it needs, stairs and transitions, and removing your old flooring. We walk you through each of these at your complimentary consultation, and your estimate spells them out.

Yes. Our installers move your furniture, remove the old flooring and haul it away, so all you have to do is enjoy the new floor.

Only if the scope changes, for example if we find subfloor damage once the old floor comes up. If that happens, we walk you through it and agree on it together before any extra work begins.

Yes, we can install materials you’ve bought elsewhere. Our one-year labor warranty covers flooring purchased through Abode, so it doesn’t apply to client-supplied material. That material is covered by its manufacturer’s warranty.

Every installation of flooring purchased through Abode carries our one-year labor warranty. Materials are covered by their manufacturer, and if you purchased through us, we’ll help you contact the manufacturer.

We’ll source it. Our showroom is a starting point, not a limit.

It depends on the size of the space, the material and the prep involved. You’ll get a timeline with your estimate, and we keep to it.

If you’re a little farther out, just ask. We’d love to hear about your project, wherever it is.

It depends on the material. Carpet, nail-down hardwood and most floating or click-together floors can be walked on the same day. Glue-down floors usually need about 24 hours, and site-finished hardwood needs a few days for the finish to cure. We’ll give you exact timing for your floor.

Sometimes. Some floors can go over an existing hard surface if it’s flat and sound, which can save time and cost. We check what’s underneath at your consultation and tell you honestly whether it’s a good idea.

Yes. We’ve changed our name to Abode Lafayette. Same family, same team, same showroom on Mt Diablo Blvd.
