Types of Flooring Offered by Minneapolis Flooring Company

Minneapolis Flooring Company provides diverse flooring solutions that combine durability, style, and value for the 19,600+ housing units in Apple Valley. Our NWFA-certified (National Wood Flooring Association) installation teams cover a complete range of materials to match any home or commercial space.

Hardwood Flooring Options

We offer both solid hardwood and engineered hardwood flooring in various species, including oak, maple, and walnut - all selected to perform well in Minnesota's northern climate and sourced from sustainable forestry partners. Solid hardwood comes in different widths from 2¼" to 5" planks, with multiple finish options available. With Apple Valley's winter temperatures regularly dropping below 0°F, proper installation and material selection are crucial.

Our engineered hardwood collection features multi-layer construction for enhanced stability during seasonal humidity changes (ranging from 20% in winter to 70%+ in summer). These premium products from Mirage, Bruce, and Somerset work well in basements and over concrete subfloors, common in many of Apple Valley's homes built during the housing boom of the 1970s when the population grew by an astonishing 1,353%.

Vinyl and Luxury Vinyl Planks

Our vinyl selection includes sheet vinyl, luxury vinyl planks (LVP), and luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) from industry leaders like COREtec, Mannington, and Karndean. These waterproof options excel in bathrooms, kitchens, and high-traffic areas - perfect for families in this community where 35.2% of households have children under 18.

Laminate Flooring Solutions

We stock premium laminate flooring from Pergo, Quick-Step, and Mohawk that replicates the look of hardwood at a lower price point - an appealing option for the approximately 29.1% of non-family households in the area. Our selection includes options with AC4 and AC5 wear ratings for residential and commercial use, all installed by NALFA-certified (North American Laminate Flooring Association) professionals.

Tile Flooring Variety

Our CTEF-certified (Ceramic Tile Education Foundation) installers work with a collection spanning porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone options from Dal-Tile, Florida Tile, and MSI. We offer sizes from small mosaics to large-format tiles up to 24" x 48", perfect for the approximately 16.86 square miles of residential areas in Apple Valley.

Flooring Installation Process

Minneapolis Flooring Company brings precision and expertise to every flooring project, utilizing specialized techniques and premium materials to ensure lasting results through all of Apple Valley's extreme temperature fluctuations (-25°F to 95°F annually). 

Professional Wood Floor Installation

We begin each hardwood installation with thorough subfloor preparation, including moisture testing with Wagner meters and Tramex concrete moisture detection systems - critical in Apple Valley where the freeze-thaw cycle can affect foundation stability. Our team carefully acclimates the wood flooring materials for 48-72 hours before installation in controlled conditions. We use professional-grade Bostik and Sika fastening systems and follow manufacturer specifications for proper expansion gaps, accounting for humidity variations between Apple Valley's dry winters and humid summers. 

Tile Installation Expertise

Proper substrate preparation is crucial for tile installation success, especially important given Apple Valley's clay-rich soil that can cause slight seasonal foundation shifts. Our CTEF-certified installers assess and repair subfloors, apply appropriate underlayment from Schluter or HardieBacker, and ensure perfect leveling using self-leveling compounds when needed.

Vinyl and Laminate Installation

We expertly install vinyl plank and laminate flooring using floating floor techniques certified by major manufacturers. Temperature-controlled acclimation ensures dimensional stability through all four distinct Minnesota seasons that affect Apple Valley.

Carpet and Specialized Installations

Carpet installation begins with thorough floor preparation and padding selection designed for Minnesota's climate extremes. Our CFI-certified (Carpet and Flooring Installers Association) teams use power stretching techniques with commercial-grade stretchers to prevent future wrinkles and bubbles.
