Quick answer

For most Gold Coast homes, hybrid flooring is the best value hard floor: waterproof, quick to lay and $45 to $90 per m² supplied and installed. Engineered and solid timber suit owners who want real timber and can be sanded later. We measure on site and quote a fixed price.

Overview

Gold Coast floors deal with humidity, sand, wet feet from the pool and air conditioning running half the year. The floor that suits a beachside unit is not always the one that suits an acreage home in the hinterland, so we start with how you live in the space. We are a licensed building company, not a flooring shop. That means we can prepare and level the slab, repair a timber subfloor, remove old tiles, fit new skirtings and handle the floor as part of a bigger renovation.

What's included

  • Hybrid flooring supply and installation
  • Engineered and solid timber flooring
  • Laying over existing tiles where suitable
  • Slab grinding, levelling and moisture testing
  • Timber subfloor repairs before new flooring
  • Tile and old floor removal
  • New skirtings, scotia and door trimming
  • Acoustic underlay for strata apartments

Hybrid flooring

Hybrid is the most popular floor we install. The rigid core is waterproof, it handles humidity well and it can often go straight over tiles. See hybrid flooring Gold Coast for the full service, or hybrid flooring cost for pricing by tier.

Timber flooring

Engineered and solid hardwood give the real feel of timber and can be sanded and refinished years later. They need more care with moisture and acclimatising in our climate. See timber flooring for details.

Choosing between them

If you want a waterproof, low-fuss floor for a family home or rental, hybrid is usually the answer. If you want genuine timber and plan to stay long term, timber is worth the extra. Our guide on hybrid vs laminate vs vinyl and our article on choosing flooring for a coastal home go further.

Our process

  1. 1

    Site inspection

    We attend the property, inspect the actual condition rather than working from photos alone, and talk through what you want the finished result to be. Bring any reports, strata approvals or insurance paperwork you already have.

  2. 2

    Written fixed-price quote

    You receive an itemised quote covering labour, materials, rubbish removal and any engineering or certification required. Where the full extent of damage can only be confirmed once linings or decking boards come off, we say so up front and quote the investigative stage separately rather than hiding it in an allowance.

  3. 3

    Approvals and scheduling

    Where certification, an engineer's design or body corporate approval is needed, we organise it and book the works into a dated program so you know which days we are on site.

  4. 4

    Carry out the works

    Protected floors, dust control, tidy site each afternoon and photo updates as we go. Occupied homes, tenanted properties and trading businesses are all worked around rather than shut down where possible.

  5. 5

    Handover

    Final walkthrough, defect check, invoice and any documentation - engineering certificates, Form 16s, product warranties - handed over with the job.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best flooring for the Gold Coast climate?

Hybrid flooring suits most homes because its rigid core is waterproof and stable in humidity. Engineered timber is a good choice if you want real timber.

How much does flooring cost on the Gold Coast?

Hybrid flooring is $45 to $90 per m² supplied and installed. Timber flooring is quoted per job because species, thickness and floor preparation vary widely.

Can new flooring go over my tiles?

Hybrid flooring can often go over existing tiles if they are flat and firmly stuck down. We check this on site. See our guide to hybrid flooring over tiles.

Do you service Logan as well?

Yes. We install flooring across the Gold Coast and Logan.
