Q: How long does hardwood floor installation take?

A: Great question—and one we hear often! The answer depends on a few key factors:
  • Square footage – A small room may take 1–2 days, while larger areas or full homes typically take a week or more.
  • Type of wood – Solid hardwood takes longer, especially if it needs sanding and staining. Engineered hardwood installs more quickly.
  • Prep work – Removing old flooring or leveling a subfloor will add to the timeline.
  • Custom details – Patterns, borders, or inlays require extra time and care.

In most cases, our team completes hardwood flooring projects in Salt Lake City and Sandy homes within 3–5 days, with additional time for finishing if needed. We’ll always provide a detailed timeline before work begins so you can plan accordingly.

Q: What kind of warranties do you offer for custom cabinetry?

A: All of our custom cabinetry is built in our own local fabrication shop, giving us full control over the craftsmanship and materials. That also means we can stand behind what we build.

Typical warranties include:

  • Workmanship warranty – Covers installation and construction defects.
  • Hardware warranty – Manufacturer warranties for hinges, slides, and pulls.
  • Finish warranty – Protects against premature wear, peeling, or cracking.

We’ll review all warranty details with you during your consultation and provide written documentation after your project is complete. Our cabinetry is built to last and to hold up beautifully in Utah homes.

Q: Do you handle everything from purchase to installation and repairs?

A: Yes! We’re proud to offer a full-cycle flooring and cabinetry service. That includes:
  • Product selection in our Salt Lake City or Sandy showroom.
  • Professional, in-house installation by our experienced team.
  • Ongoing maintenance or repair advice—and hands-on service if needed.

Whether you need help choosing a material or restoring your floors years down the road, we’re your long-term flooring partner.

Q: Can I visit your showrooms to see flooring and cabinetry options?

A: Absolutely—and we strongly encourage it! Our two showrooms in Salt Lake City and Sandy give you the chance to view products up close, see finishes in natural light, and compare textures and styles.

You’ll find friendly, knowledgeable staff ready to help, and you’re welcome to take home samples so you can see how they look in your space. It’s a no-pressure environment designed to make your decision easier.

Q: What types of flooring are best for Utah’s climate?

A: Utah’s dry winters and fluctuating humidity levels can take a toll on some materials. Fortunately, we offer products that are well-suited for local conditions:
  • Engineered hardwood – More stable and less prone to expansion and contraction.
  • Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) – Waterproof and ideal for high-moisture areas like basements and bathrooms.
  • Wool carpet – Naturally insulating and durable, great for cold weather.

Our team will walk you through acclimation timelines and maintenance tips to ensure long-term performance.

Q: How does your estimate process work?

A: It’s simple and transparent:
  • We schedule a visit to your home to take measurements and evaluate the project.
  • You’ll tell us your goals, preferred styles, and budget.
  • We’ll provide a detailed, no-obligation quote—no hidden fees, no surprises.

If you’re ready to move forward, we’ll get your materials ordered and your installation scheduled right away.

Q: Can you remove my old floors or cabinetry?

A: Yes, we provide demolition and removal services for old flooring, outdated cabinetry, and even built-ins. Let us handle the mess so you can focus on your new space. It’s one more way we make the process easier for homeowners who want a stress-free upgrade.

Q: How do I care for my new flooring or cabinets?

A: We’ll give you detailed care instructions for your specific products, but here are some general guidelines:
  • Hardwood floors – Sweep regularly and clean with approved hardwood products.
  • Luxury vinyl – Mop with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Carpet – Vacuum frequently and schedule deep cleaning every 12–18 months.
  • Cabinetry – Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid anything abrasive.

We’re always here if you have questions after the installation. Just call or stop by.

Q: Do you work with commercial flooring projects?

A: We focus exclusively on residential projects—homeowners are our specialty. From one-room upgrades to whole-home transformations, our team is dedicated to helping individuals and families get the look and performance they want from their floors and cabinetry.

Q: Are your installers in-house?

A: Yes! Our installers are part of the Vama Flooring team, not subcontractors. This means better communication, higher consistency, and a stronger connection to the quality we promise. You’ll always know who’s working in your home.

Q: Why choose Vama Flooring over a big-box store?

A: Here’s what makes us different:
  • Two fully stocked showrooms where you can browse, touch, and compare.
  • Locally built cabinetry and millwork, crafted with precision and care.
  • Factory-direct pricing on flooring and materials.
  • No subcontractors, just a team you can count on from start to finish.
  • Ongoing support, whether you need repairs or just have questions years later.
