Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best flooring for a South Auckland rental property?
Mid-grade LVP in a neutral timber look is the best choice for most South Auckland rental properties. It is waterproof, scratch-resistant, easy to clean, and holds up to the wear of rental use far better than carpet or laminate. A 20-year residential warranty is a good benchmark for quality.
How long does flooring installation take in South Auckland?
A standard 3-bedroom South Auckland home typically takes 1 to 3 days for LVP or laminate installation, and 2 to 4 days for engineered timber. Subfloor preparation adds time if levelling or moisture treatment is needed.
