Before you settle on a species or a finish, our new floor visualizer lets you try hardwood, vinyl and laminate on a photo of your own floor. It is a faster way to rule options out than carrying samples from room to room.
When you choose Functional Floors, you’re not just hiring a team of installers—you’re partnering with a local business that cares about your home. As a top-rated flooring company in Southeast Michigan, our goal is to deliver quality craftsmanship, clear communication, and long-lasting results.
Whether you’re installing engineered planks, prefinished boards, or something more custom, we make it easy to get started with in-home estimates, flexible financing, and guidance on everything from subfloor prep to post-install care.
Before work begins, we’ll inspect the space and take various measurements. We’ll assess your subfloor and underlayment requirements, and answer your questions. When we begin the project, any room we’re working in will be off limits until the installation is complete. After years of doing installations, our time-tables tend to be accurate. But sometimes unforeseen issues arise. We ask that you allow for an extra day or two should our installers run into any obstacles.
Before our installers arrive, you’ll need to clear all furniture and appliances from your room(s). We do have a local professional moving company that we work with on a regular basis and have secured discounted pricing for our customers. If this would be helpful to you please contact are of office to ask about our premium packages. The hardwood flooring has to acclimate to your home before we put it in. Typically, we’ll leave it in an unused room to adjust to the temperature and humidity. This can take several days, but it’s crucial. Skipping this step could lead to improper and uneven installation. So we’ll always include this step as part of our plan for your home.
Once the prep is complete, our skilled crew gets to work. We carefully install each plank, accounting for spacing, expansion gaps, and custom trim work. This phase can get a bit noisy, but we always schedule during standard work hours and keep your space clean throughout the job.
We also coordinate with local moving partners to help relocate large furniture if needed—just ask about our premium add-on services when you book your consultation.
When installation wraps up, we perform a final walk-through to make sure every detail is up to standard. If needed, we’ll trim doors, adjust baseboards, and use high-quality transition strips to ensure a polished, finished look. We also provide tips on caring for your new floors, including when to move furniture back and how to maintain shine over time.
And yes—natural wood has variations! You’ll notice color shifts and unique grain patterns that make your new floor one-of-a-kind.
If you haven’t selected a product yet, explore our curated selection of marvelous hardwood floors, luxury vinyl, and laminate options either in our showroom or online. From traditional oak to contemporary wide-plank styles, we offer materials to match every design preference and lifestyle.
Our Livonia clients often pair installations with additional services like refinishing older floors in adjacent rooms to create a cohesive look throughout the home.
We know that home improvement projects can come with its own set of challenges and surprises. These costs can add up, so we offer financing options for our customers to allow for purchasing flexibility. We offer financing through GreenSky.
We install both, and the right answer depends on your rooms: solid hardwood can be refinished many times over its life, while engineered handles basements and concrete subfloors better. We’ll walk you through it on your actual floors during a free in-home estimate.
The wood first acclimates in your home for several days — skipping that step is how floors fail later. The installation itself usually takes a few days depending on the area, and we give you an exact timeline with your estimate.
Yes — matching species, board width, and stain so new and old read as one floor is detail work we do all the time, including lacing new boards into existing rooms.
Yes. And for vinyl and laminate projects, our sister company Functional Stairs manufactures custom stair treads from the same flooring being installed, so the stairs match perfectly.
It depends on the wood you choose, the area, and the subfloor, so we give a free, firm in-home estimate rather than a guess — no pressure, no surprises. Installation labor is guaranteed for 2 years.
