Flooring Services for Every Room

Wood, resilient and soft floors, plus the removal and prep that make them last. One licensed crew handles the whole job.
  • 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 Installation
  • Engineered 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 Hardwood
  • Hardwood 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 Refinishing
  • Luxury 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 Installation
  • Laminate 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 Installation
  • Carpet Installation

    Soft, quiet carpet for bedrooms, stairs and whole homes. Power-stretched over new pad so it lies flat for years.

    Carpet Installation
  • Stair 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.

    Stairs
  • Hardwood Floor Repair

    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.

    Floor Repair
  • Flooring Removal

    We pull up old carpet, glue-down vinyl and worn wood and haul it away. Then we scrape and prep the subfloor so the new floor starts right.

    Flooring Removal
  • Commercial Flooring

    Offices, shops and rental units floored on a schedule that keeps you open. Property managers get one crew for every turnover.

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 work beneath your floor matters just as much as the surface you see.”

“I cannot recommend Kirill and crew from Floor Monkeys highly enough!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot recommend Kirill and crew from Floor Monkeys highly enough! From start to finish, they were professional, efficient, and truly cared about doing the job right. When the flooring supplier sold me the wrong product, the crew immediately went to pick up the correct materials without hesitation. They moved all of my furniture, leveled the subfloor, installed beautiful new flooring in both of my bedrooms, and then carefully put everything back exactly where it belonged. Their attention to detail, work ethic, and commitment to customer satisfaction were outstanding. It’s rare to find a company that is this ethical, dependable, and professional. The quality of their work exceeded my expectations, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re looking for a flooring company you can trust, I wholeheartedly recommend Four Monkeys. They earned every one of these five stars!

“I would recommend Floor Monkeys to anyone who is in need of the best in the industry...”

Kirill, owner of Floor Monkeys, went well-above anything I expected. We met several times, he tested our hardwood floor, made recommendations on how our once beautiful (and not so old) flooring could be brought back to life. The results were amazing! I was so impressed with the time, care, trust, and level of professionalism I experienced from beginning to end. I would recommend Floor Monkeys to anyone who is in need of the best in the industry...

Flooring Questions

FAQ

Straight answers to what homeowners ask us most.

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.
