One licensed crew, start to finish
A new floor is a big decision, and it should feel calm from the first visit to the last baseboard. MC Flooring is licensed and insured, family-run, and based in Salinas, and we handle your flooring from measurement to clean-up so you deal with one team and one schedule.
We serve homes and small businesses across the Bay Area, including San Jose, Palo Alto, and Gilroy, with additional service throughout Monterey County. Every project begins with a free in-home estimate - we come to you, and no store visit is needed.
What we install
We focus on a curated set of floors we know well, and we install each of them carefully.
- [Hardwood](/hardwood-flooring) - solid and engineered, in nail-down, glue-down, or floating methods
- [Luxury vinyl plank](/luxury-vinyl-plank) and [sheet vinyl](/sheet-vinyl-flooring)
- [Laminate](/laminate-flooring) - in wood looks for drier rooms
- Stairs in [hardwood](/hardwood-stairs), [vinyl](/vinyl-flooring-stairs), or [laminate](/laminate-stairs)
What is included in every installation
Our quotes are meant to be complete. They cover moisture checks on slabs, subfloor flattening, baseboard removal and reinstall, haul-away of the old floor, and clean transitions to neighboring rooms. We protect your home with floor covering and dust control, and sweep up at the end of each day.
In homes along the coast, we pay particular attention to moisture; in the warmer inland valley, we plan for expansion and sun exposure. Preparation and removal are detailed on our [floor demolition and prep](/floor-demolition-prep) page.
Standing behind our work
Manufacturers warrant their materials, and we stand behind our own workmanship. If something we installed needs attention, call us and we will make it right. For small touch-ups on an existing floor, see [floor repair](/floor-repair).

Flooring Installation - frequently asked questions
A typical room of vinyl or laminate takes about a day. Hardwood usually takes two to four days depending on the pattern and finish.
We move standard furniture. We ask that fragile items and the contents of cabinets and drawers be set aside beforehand.
We can install customer-supplied material, though in that case our warranty covers workmanship only.
That is common. We coordinate transitions between products so the whole home reads as one design. Browse examples in our [inspiration gallery](/flooring-inspiration-gallery).
