Highly recommend Navarro Remodeling! This was my third time using their services, and they hit it out of the park again. From shed/playground removal and moving a piano in the past, to a diverse project this week (porch painting that first required heavy caulking and TLC, fascia wood rot repair, interior painting, fireplace hearth pad replacement, and retrofitting 30+ recessed lights to modern flat LEDs), their work is top-notch. Great family business, friendly crew, fair prices, and exceptional pride in their work. Will definitely use them again!

There needs Star counts for infinity and beyond. Trust me and I was a physician assistant in the operating room for over 20 years. I would trust Navarro Remodeling without absolutely any reservations. They are extremely honest/fair/pay attention to every detail/patient/kind/they treat you like family. They do not leave unless you and they are completely satisfied with everything. Then ontop of that they tell you to call them with any concerns and they will take care of it. They took care of plumbing and electrical work in my kitchen. I would absolutely call them again to take care of anything on my property. I am not receiving any compensation for this review and would not take any to be able to give them the highest recommendation. My only hope is that they are available when I need them due to their popularity. The only regret you may have is that you do not retain their services..

Amazing job done! I had my bathroom and kitchen remodeled and turned out beautiful. Diego worked with my budget and was pretty affordable, especially in Rockville/Aspen hill area. I really appreciated the communication throughout the process as well.
Complete Flooring Installation in
Rockville, MD
Navarro Remodeling handles flooring installation in Rockville, MD, from tearing out the old floor to the last piece of trim. We install luxury vinyl plank, tile, carpet and hardwood, and we refinish or restore existing hardwood when it's worth saving. Removal, prep, installation, transitions (the strips where one floor meets another), trim and final cleanup are all part of the job, so you don't need a second company to finish it.
✓ Free in-home estimate, usually the same day or the next
✓ Old floor removed and hauled out, prep done before anything new goes down
✓ Transitions, trim and cleanup included, not left for you
Many homes in Rockville and across Montgomery County have been lived in for decades. Some still have original hardwood that can be sanded and refinished. Others have worn carpet, tired vinyl or a mix of floors that don't match from room to room. We look at what's there, tell you what can stay, and install what needs replacing.
Is It Time to Replace the Floors in Your Rockville Home?
Floors usually tell you when they're done. Replacing makes sense when the floor itself is worn out, not just dirty or dull.
Signs it's time for a new floor:
Planks or tiles are cracked, loose, peeling or lifting at the edges
The floor feels soft, bouncy or uneven when you walk on it
Carpet is matted, stained or holds odors that cleaning won't remove
Rooms have different floors that don't flow together, and you want one look
If the floor feels soft near a tub, toilet or sink, the problem may be water damage in the subfloor (the wood layer under your flooring). That gets fixed before a new floor goes down. If the floor is solid hardwood that's only scratched or faded, refinishing may be all it needs. We'll tell you which at your estimate.
Types of Flooring We Install in Rockville, MD
A full remodel takes the kitchen back to the walls and rebuilds it. Here's the work, in the order it happens.
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)
Vinyl planks made to look like wood. LVP stands up to spills, pets and busy hallways, which makes it a common pick for kitchens, basements and family rooms.
Tile Floors
Ceramic and porcelain tile for bathrooms, kitchens, entries and laundry rooms. Tile needs a flat, solid base, so we check and prep the subfloor first.
Hardwood and Engineered Wood
Solid hardwood, and engineered wood (a real wood top layer over a stable core). We install new wood floors and match the look you want room to room.
Hardwood Refinishing and Restoration
If your existing hardwood is solid underneath, it can often be sanded down and refinished instead of replaced. Whether it's worth it depends on the condition of the boards.
Carpet
New carpet for bedrooms, stairs and finished basements, with the old carpet and pad removed first.

Keeping Your Rockville Home Clean During a Flooring Job
Tearing out an old floor makes dust and debris, and new flooring gets carried through the rest of your house. So every job follows the same routine.
Floor protection goes down first.
The path from the door to the work area is covered before anything comes in.
The work area is sealed off.
Dust stays in the rooms being redone.
Cleanup every day.
Old flooring is hauled out and the work area is cleaned before the crew leaves, not just at the end.
Nobody knows for sure what's under an old tub until it's out. If we find damage, we show you what we found and talk through your options before moving on.
What Happens During a Flooring Installation in Rockville
Every floor is different, but the work follows the same order.
-
Move and protect. The room is cleared and the path through your home is covered.
-
Remove the old floor. Carpet and pad, vinyl, tile or old wood comes up and gets hauled out.
-
Check the subfloor. With the old floor up, we can see the subfloor. Soft, damaged or uneven spots get repaired or leveled now, because a new floor is only as good as what's under it.
-
Install. The new floor goes down, laid out so the lines look right from the doorway.
-
Transitions and trim. Transition strips go in where rooms meet, and baseboards and trim are reset or replaced.
-
Clean up and walk through. The room is cleaned, furniture can go back, and we walk the floor with you.
Old floors can hide surprises, like water damage under a bathroom floor or a second layer of flooring under the first. If we find something, we show you what we found and talk through your options before moving on.
When Refinishing is Enough Instead of
a New Floor
Not every tired floor needs to come out. Some times the right answer is a smaller job.
A new floor may be more than you need right now when:
Your hardwood is solid but scratched or dull.
Sanding and refinishing can bring it back for less than replacing it.
Only one room bothers you.
You can redo the worst room now and match the rest later.
The floor is fine but the trim is beat up.
New baseboards and paint can make the room feel finished again.
You're selling soon.
A refinish or a single room may be all the house needs before it goes on the market.
At your estimate, we tell you which one your floor actually needs, not just what could be installed
What Drives the Cost of Flooring Installation in Rockville
There's no single price per room. Two rooms the same size can come in far apart, because the cost depends on what comes out, what goes in and what's underneath. These move the number most:
01
The flooring you pick.
LVP, tile, carpet and hardwood each come at different prices, and so do the products within each type.
03
The shower itself.
Soft spots, water damage or an uneven floor need repair or leveling before anything new goes down.
02
What has to come out.
Pulling up carpet is quicker than chipping out old tile or a glued-down floor.
04
Fixtures and finishes.
Stairs, closets, angled walls and patterns take more time than one open room.
05
Transitions and trim.
New baseboards, door trim and transitions between rooms add to the job.
When quotes don't line up, these questions usually show why:
Is removal and haul-away of the old floor included?
Is subfloor repair or leveling included, and how is it priced if it's needed?
Are transitions, baseboards, and trim included?
What exactly does the price cover, room by room?
After we see your floors, you get a detailed written estimate you can line up next to your other quotes. The estimate is free.

Flooring Questions From Rockville, MD Homeowners
How much does flooring installation cost in Rockville?
The cost of flooring installation in Rockville depends on the flooring you pick, how much floor is being done, what has to be removed, and whether the subfloor needs repair or leveling. Stairs, trim and transitions between rooms add to it too. We give you a clear, detailed written price after a free in-home estimate, so you know exactly what's included before any work starts.
How long does it take to install new floors?
How long a flooring installation takes depends on the size of the area, the type of floor and what's found once the old floor is up. One bedroom of carpet moves faster than a whole first floor of tile. Most jobs start the week after you approve the estimate, and we give you a realistic timeline once we've seen the floors.
Can you refinish my existing hardwood floors?
Yes, we can refinish existing hardwood floors when the wood is in good enough condition. Solid hardwood that's scratched, dull or faded can often be sanded and refinished instead of replaced. If the boards are badly damaged, too thin or have water damage, replacing them may be the better choice. We'll tell you honestly at your estimate.
Should I choose luxury vinyl plank or hardwood?
Luxury vinyl plank or hardwood comes down to the room and how you use it. LVP handles water, pets and heavy traffic well, which is why it's common in kitchens, basements and family rooms. Hardwood has a natural look and can be refinished later. At your estimate, we talk through the rooms you're redoing and help you pick.
Do you remove the old flooring?
Yes, we remove the old flooring as part of the job. Carpet and pad, vinyl, tile or old wood comes up and gets hauled out, then we check and prep the subfloor before the new floor goes down. Removal is listed in your written estimate so you know it's covered.
What's the difference between a basement remodel and new flooring or paint?
A basement remodel usually means framing walls, adding wiring and insulation, and closing it all in with drywall, while new flooring or paint changes the surface only. If just one thing bothers you, like a worn floor, scuffed walls or dim lighting, fixing that alone can change the feel of the room. At your estimate, we tell you which one your basement actually needs, not a bigger job.
Can you install flooring in a basement?
Yes, we install flooring in basements, as part of a full basement finish or on its own. A basement floor sits on a cool concrete slab, so we pick flooring made to handle it and level the floor first where it needs it. If the basement gets wet, that has to be fixed before any flooring goes in. See our basement finishing.
What areas near Rockville do you serve for flooring?
We install flooring in Rockville and across Montgomery County, including Potomac, Bethesda, North Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Kensington, Silver Spring and Gaithersburg. Rockville is our home base, so estimates there can usually be scheduled quickly. If you're not sure we cover your street, call (240) 480-8170 or send the form with your ZIP code.
: How do I check a flooring contractor's license in Maryland?
You check a contractor's license in Maryland by asking for the MHIC number and looking it up with the Maryland Home Improvement Commission. Make sure the license is active and the business name matches your estimate and contract. Navarro Remodeling LLC holds MHIC license #162429 and carries $1M in general liability insurance, and you can verify the license on the Maryland Department of Labor website.
