Hardwood Floor Installation
Solid oak, white oak and wide-plank floors installed over a checked, flat subfloor. We acclimate the wood first so it stays tight through Valley summers.
Hardwood InstallationEngineered Hardwood Installation
Real wood on a stable core, made for the slab foundations under most newer Sacramento homes. Glued, floated or nailed, depending on what your floor needs.
Engineered HardwoodHardwood Floor Refinishing
We sand worn floors down to fresh wood, then stain and finish them in the color you pick. It is often the way to save original oak found under old carpet.
Floor RefinishingLuxury Vinyl Plank Installation
Waterproof plank floors that stand up to kids, pets and spills. We flatten the subfloor first so the planks stay locked and quiet.
LVP InstallationLaminate Flooring Installation
Scratch-resistant laminate that looks like wood and holds up in busy rooms. Laid on the right underlayment with proper gaps so it never buckles.
Laminate InstallationCarpet Installation
Soft, quiet carpet for bedrooms, stairs and whole homes. Power-stretched over new pad so it lies flat for years.
Carpet InstallationStair Installation & Refinishing
We turn carpeted stairs into wood, replace worn treads and refinish old ones. The nosing is matched to your floor so the stairs look built in.

Damaged boards, squeaks and gaps fixed without tearing out the whole floor. We weave in new boards and blend the finish so the repair disappears.

What's Under the Floor
The Prep Work That Makes a Floor Last
Most floor problems start under the floor. Gaps, squeaks, cupped boards and planks that click apart usually trace back to a subfloor that was not flat, dry or ready. Prep is slow, and it is hidden once the floor goes down, so it is the step most installers rush.
Good prep goes in order: check the subfloor and fix weak spots, grind high areas and fill low ones, test moisture in the wood and the slab, then lay the right underlayment. Only then do the planks go in, followed by the finish. You never see this work. You feel it every time you walk across a floor that stays quiet and tight.

The Owner
Meet Kirill, the Head Monkey
Kirill Dushkov has installed floors for more than 13 years. He learned the trade on job sites, where he saw how floors fail when the prep gets rushed. He started Floor Monkeys to run jobs his way: show up when promised, protect the house, get the subfloor right before a single plank goes down, and clean up every day. When you call Floor Monkeys, you talk with the person who owns the company. [CONFIRM: story with Kirill]

Flooring Questions
FAQ
What affects the cost of new floors in Sacramento?
The floor you pick, the square footage and the shape of the subfloor under it drive most of the cost. Removing old flooring, stairs, leveling and transitions between rooms also change the number. You get a written quote after a free in-home visit, so you see the real cost for your home before any work starts.
How long does a flooring installation take?
It depends on the square footage, the floor type and the prep your subfloor needs. Solid hardwood needs time to acclimate in your home before we install it, and refinishing needs drying time between coats. Your quote comes with a schedule, so you know which days we will be in your home.
Can you save the old hardwood under my carpet?
Often, yes. Many older Sacramento and Bay Area homes have oak floors hidden under carpet. If the boards are thick enough and not badly damaged, we repair, sand and refinish them instead of replacing them. We check the wood at your free in-home estimate.
Do you install tile?
No. We focus on hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, laminate, carpet and stairs. If you want a waterproof floor for a kitchen, laundry room or bath, luxury vinyl plank is a strong fit.
What areas do you serve?
We work across Greater Sacramento (Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado, Yolo, Sutter, Yuba and Nevada counties) and the Bay Area (Contra Costa, Alameda, San Mateo, San Francisco, Marin, Napa and Solano counties).
What happens at the free in-home estimate?
We come to your home, measure the rooms and check the subfloor and any floors you have now. We talk through the floor options that fit your home and how you live. Then you get a written quote. The visit costs nothing.
