Your floors do more than just hold up furniture—they create the foundation for your home’s entire look and feel. They’re walked on every day, subject to wear and tear, spills, pets, kids, and the constant hustle of life. That’s why when it’s time to update your floors, you want to make a choice that’s not only beautiful, but built to last.
At D&M Hardwood Flooring, we know how important that choice is. For over two decades, we’ve helped homeowners across Rhode Island and Southern Massachusetts find flooring solutions that are not only practical, but truly transform their spaces. As a local, family-owned company, we bring a personal touch to every project—because we treat your home like it’s our own.
If you’re in the market for new floors, refinishing, or simply want to understand your options better, this guide is a great place to start.
Hardwood, Vinyl, or Laminate: What’s Right for Your Home?
Each type of flooring has its strengths, and the best fit depends on your home’s needs, lifestyle, and design style.
Hardwood Flooring
Few materials match the warmth and elegance of real hardwood floors. It’s timeless, durable, and adds natural character to any room. Beyond looks, hardwood is also one of the best long-term investments you can make in your home.
At D&M, we offer:
- Full hardwood floor installation
- Dustless sanding and refinishing
- Repairs for scratches, dents, and water damage
Whether you’re restoring historic floors or installing brand-new oak or maple, we’re here to make the process seamless.
Vinyl Flooring
If you’re looking for a stylish, low-maintenance option that holds up well in high-traffic or high-moisture areas, vinyl flooring is a great pick. Today’s luxury vinyl planks (LVP) are a far cry from the old sheets of vinyl you may remember—they’re tough, realistic, and quick to install.
Vinyl is ideal for:
- Kitchens and bathrooms
- Basements or finished attics
- Homes with pets or kids
- Budget-conscious remodels
Our team can show you a variety of styles, including wood and tile looks, that give you the aesthetic you want without the maintenance of traditional materials.
Laminate Flooring
Laminate offers another smart solution for busy households. It mimics the look of real hardwood but is more resistant to scratches, stains, and general wear and tear. If you want durable, affordable flooring in RI, laminate might be the way to go.
We carry high-quality laminates that hold up beautifully in homes where life doesn’t slow down—and neither do your floors.
We Do More Than Just Floors
While most of our work is on hardwood and vinyl floors, we also help homeowners take care of the other areas that often get overlooked:
- Staircase refinishing: Tired treads and worn-out risers can make your entryway look dated. We restore stairs to match or complement your floors, creating a seamless transition from room to room.
- Deck sanding and staining: Rhode Island weather is tough on decks. We bring them back to life with sanding, sealing, and staining, so you can enjoy outdoor spaces without splinters, peeling stain, or dull finishes.
