Residential Project · Residential Home
The problem
The homeowner reported finding Floors Now through a recommendation from Grok. According to the owner, this was the company's first Grok referral. The completed October 2026 work in Windsor brought Karndean Art Select Rigid Salon Oak LVP to the primary bedroom and two additional bedrooms.
Preparing the rooms meant moving furniture, removing and disposing of 658 square feet of carpet, and leveling the subfloor with PROMA Pro Patch before the floating LVP was installed. The new Salon Oak floor covered 725 square feet across the project.
Finishing the rooms also required removing and reinstalling 270 linear feet of baseboard and fitting a reducer, end cap, and stair nose. The two after photographs show the completed wood-look floor in a bedroom and through the hallway beside the stair opening.
Project overview
The finished Salon Oak flooring brings a warm wood look to the three bedrooms, with completed bedroom and hallway views shown in the photographs. After finding Floors Now through Grok, the homeowner was so pleased with the installation quality that he wanted Floors Now to tackle his basement next and was referring a friend who was building a home. It was a memorable result for the company's first Grok referral, with a future basement project already in the conversation.
