Flooring we install in Metairie homes and businesses
This page is for Metairie homeowners and business owners weighing their options. It covers the floors we install, common repairs, and the water and humidity questions that come with building here.
Here's what we put down in Metairie, and where each floor fits.
Laminate
Laminate suits bedrooms and upstairs rooms that stay dry. FEMA's flood-resistant materials bulletin puts plastic laminate flooring in its unacceptable column, so we steer it away from ground floors that could take water. See laminate flooring installation.
Vinyl plank and vinyl tile
We install vinyl in kitchens, baths and ground-level rooms. FEMA rates vinyl tile set with chemical-set adhesive as acceptable on a concrete floor, which matters on a slab. Our vinyl flooring installation page walks through the job.
Hardwood and engineered wood
Wood fits living areas and bedrooms where the air conditioning runs steadily. Pick a product rated for a humid region.
Tile and epoxy
Tile goes in kitchens and baths, and epoxy coats garage and commercial slabs.
Built for New Orleans
Floor repair in Metairie
Plenty of damaged floors can be fixed in place. Our flooring repair page has the details.
Gaps and cupping
NWFA says wood that gains moisture can swell and cup. Gaps that stay open through the humid months mean it's time for a repair visit.
Water-damaged boards and tiles
Damaged pieces come out once the subfloor is dry, and replacements are matched as closely as available stock allows.
Squeaks and soft spots
We open the area and fix the subfloor, then relay the floor.
Worn hardwood
Sanding and refinishing in place of a new floor.

How it works
Why Metairie floors need a water plan
The 17th Street Canal drains portions of East Jefferson Parish as well as New Orleans, according to the Flood Protection Authority-East. When Lake Pontchartrain runs high before a tropical storm, gates at the canal mouths close and large pumps move rainwater past them into the lake.
- 01
What the levee standard covers
The levees, floodwalls and floodgates around Greater New Orleans are built to a 100-year storm standard, a storm with a 1% chance in any given year. That's a design level, not a promise of a dry ground floor, so choose floors for low rooms that can be dried out or replaced.
- 02
Slab moisture before vinyl
Mannington's rigid vinyl guide caps slab moisture at 85% relative humidity on the ASTM F2170 probe test. We test the slab before any floor goes down.
- 03
Raised floors and big renovations
On a raised house, NWFA says an unconditioned crawl space tends to run more humid than the room above it. And on a large renovation, FEMA counts floor finishes toward the 50% substantial improvement total, so check with Jefferson Parish before you start.

FAQ
Common Questions About Flooring in Metairie
Talk to an Expert about flooring in Metairie.
Should I choose laminate or vinyl for a Metairie home?
FEMA rates vinyl tile with chemical-set adhesive as acceptable on concrete and rates plastic laminate as unacceptable where floodwater reaches. Glue-down vinyl tile on a slab is the FEMA-acceptable option for ground floors, and laminate suits rooms that stay dry.
Do I need a permit to replace floors in Metairie?
Check with Jefferson Parish before a large renovation, especially after flood damage. FEMA counts floor finishes toward the 50% substantial improvement total.
Can you repair a few damaged boards instead of replacing the floor?
Often, yes. Once the subfloor is dry, we take out the damaged pieces and fit replacements matched as closely as available stock allows.
Which areas near Metairie do you also serve?
Kenner, Harahan, River Ridge and Gretna, plus New Orleans and the Northshore.
