Complete Flooring & Interior Remodeling Solutions
Authentic Floors & Remodeling provides professional flooring installation and interior remodeling for homeowners and businesses across Northern New Jersey. Since 2011, with 20 years in the trade behind the work, we’ve built our name on craftsmanship that holds up and advice you can trust.
Most people arrive here knowing something needs to change and not quite knowing what to choose. That’s normal, and it’s the part we’re best at. Below is what we do, and just as importantly, how to think about which is right for your space.
Which Floor Is Right For Your Space?
Every material is the best choice somewhere. The skill is matching it to how you actually live.
If your space has…
The usual right answer
Why
Moisture basements, bathrooms, slab-on-grade
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP)
Waterproof by construction; won't cup or swell where wood would fail
Original hardwood in decent shape
Refinishing, not replacement
Almost always less expensive than new, and you keep the character no new floor can imitate
Kids, pets, heavy daily traffic
LVP or quality laminate
Scratch and dent resistance where it matters most, at a friendlier price
Formal spaces, long-term resale value
Solid or engineered hardwood
Still the strongest return on investment in flooring, and refinishable for decades
Radiant heat or wide humidity swings
Engineered hardwood
Dimensionally stable in conditions that move solid wood
A commercial space with real foot traffic
Commercial-grade LVP
Built for the wear, replaceable plank by plank
One rule underneath all of it: the best material installed over a bad subfloor will fail, and a modest material installed over a properly prepared one will outlast expectations. Preparation is the product.
Hardwood flooring installation
Hardwood is still the floor that adds the most lasting value to a property, and the only one you can refinish rather than replace, decades from now.
We install both solid hardwood (best for above-grade rooms, sandable many times over a lifetime) and engineeredhardwood (a real wood wear layer over a stable core — the better choice for basements, concrete slabs, and radiant heat).
We’ll walk you through species, plank width, and finish, and we let wood acclimate in your home before installation, because flooring that goes straight from a cold truck to a warm room is flooring that gaps by February.
Vinyl flooring installation (LVP)
Luxury vinyl plank has become the most requested flooring in the region, for good reason: it’s genuinely waterproof, it stands up to kids and pets, and today’s wear layers and printing make it convincing underfoot and underlight.
It’s the right call for kitchens, bathrooms, basements, laundry rooms, entryways, and busy family spaces, anywhere water and traffic would eventually punish real wood.
What separates a good LVP job from a bad one is entirely underneath: the subfloor must be flat and dry, or every seam and hollow spot will announce itself within a year.
Laminate flooring installation
Laminate delivers the look of hardwood at a friendlier price with excellent resistance to scratching and everyday wear, a strong choice for active households, rentals, and commercial spaces balancing appearance against budget.
Worth knowing: laminate is highly scratch-resistant but, unlike LVP, most laminate is not waterproof at the core. For bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways it performs beautifully. For a basement or a bathroom, we’ll steer you to vinyl, and tell you why.
Restore & Transform Your Space
Whether you need to restore existing floors or completely transform your interior, our expert team delivers exceptional results.
Hardwood Floor Refinishing & Restoration
Before you replace hardwood, let us look at it. Floors that appear beyond saving, scratched, greyed, water-stained, buried under carpet for thirty years, are very often restorable, at a fraction of replacement cost.
Our process: sanding to bare wood, board repairs where needed, staining to the color you want, and a durable protective finish. Solid hardwood can typically be refinished several times across its life, which means the floor you have may still have decades left in it.
We’ll tell you honestly when a floor can be saved and when it can’t. Both answers happen, and you deserve the real one.
Interior Remodeling
Beyond flooring, we handle interior remodeling and renovation, refreshing rooms, updating finishes, and completing the details that make a space feel finished: baseboards, trim, stair upgrades, and custom finishing work.
Because we come from the flooring trade, we tend to catch things others miss, how a transition will meet a new threshold, whether trim height suits the plank, how the order of operations should run so nothing beautiful gets damaged by what comes after.
