Your Flooring Store in Honolulu, HI
Bauer Flooring has deep roots in the industry. Four generations of flooring experience began in 1912 and most recently found a home here in Hawaii. What mattered then still does today: honest guidance, quality craftsmanship and treating customers with respect. When Brian Bauer opened his business on O’ahu, he carried those values with him and built a flooring experience rooted in aloha, integrity and care.
Serving Honolulu and surrounding communities, Bauer Flooring makes floors simple. All of our materials are sourced from our WWII-era bunker in Waipahu and you can easily schedule a shop-at-home flooring consultation to get started. We bring flooring samples, decades of knowledge and straightforward guidance to each project without the pressure or gimmicks. Our process is designed to make you feel confident in your space.
Here are the core values that guide us every step of the way:
We use these values to guide all of our projects. From the first measurement to the final walkthrough, we do it all.
Vinyl is a top flooring choice in Hawaii due to its moisture resistance, durability and versatility. We offer loose-lay, SPC, ABA board and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) options. Each is chosen with island conditions in mind.
Embrace the timeless look of wood without any worries. Our hardwood alternatives offer stability and resilience that not even natural hardwood can deliver in Hawaii.
Step 1
We bring full-size samples to your Honolulu home. This lets you see how each flooring option looks in your natural lighting, next to your cabinets and furniture.
Step 2
We do moisture checks, leveling assessments and subfloor prep to make sure your installation lasts, which is essential in humid Hawaii.
Step 3
Our flooring experts gets down to the details. That means crafting a precise layout, transitions and finishing touches with professionalism and aloha.
Step 4
After your installation, we walk the space with you , answer questions and review care instructions. You only pay when you’re satisfied.
We install vinyl, laminate and carpet tile flooring. Our team uses Hawaii-specific methods to maximize stability and durability.
Take out old flooring safely and efficiently. We inspect the slab for moisture, dips and cracks that could affect your new installation.
Installing stairs requires precision and care. We handle nosings, treads, angles and transitions to provide a seamless, intentional look.
Bauer Flooring stands out because of how we approach every project. We blend heritage, honesty and hands-on expertise that’s rare in today’s flooring industry.
With over 200,000 sq. ft. of flooring on hand, we have one of the largest local inventories on the island. Say goodbye to long waits, shipping delays and guessing when materials are available. You get a real selection, real samples and real floors when you need them.
Choose your flooring in the morning and get it delivered in the afternoon. Our on-island stock makes fast turnarounds simple and that’s something most mainland-run flooring stores can’t offer. When time matters, we move your project forward without the downtime.
Trust should come before payment. With Bauer Flooring, you never pay upfront—only when the job is complete and you’re satisfied. This risk-free experience is how we do business—and have always done business.
With 40+ years of hands-on flooring experience and thousands of installs across Hawaii, we know what works in island homes and what doesn’t. Between navigating humidity concerns and handling uneven slabs, our expertise ensures your floors are built to last.
We store our inventory in a quiet, secure WWII-era bunker in Waipahu, which gives us space and stability to stock more materials than most flooring stores. The unique setup gives us better logistics, faster delivery and a story you won’t get anywhere else.

EXCELLENT Based on 53 reviews Posted on Mark RichardsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bauer Flooring is fantastic! From the start, they showed a high level of professionalism and made the whole process stress-free. Brian worked closely with us to ensure that that any disruption to our ability to still be in the house during the process was minimized. Their pricing was very reasonable, and they were more than willing to work with me to make sure everything fit my needs and budget. On top of the great workmanship, everyone we dealt with was exceptionally kind and easy to work with—it honestly felt like working with good friends who genuinely cared about the outcome. If you’re looking for great floors at a fair price with people you can trust, Brian and his team at Bauer flooring are the way to go. I’d recommend to anyone looking do an install of this variety.Posted on Cap HavekorstTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Bauer Flooring Service Company, This is the Rose family review of our “Outstanding" service that was received by Bauer Flooring Service this past week. Brian Bauer and his Team arrived on time each and every day and were very diligent in their installation of the flooring for our three bedrooms. No words can really express our utter and absolute gratification with the teams trustworthy performance and absolutely beautiful work with the installation of the flooring and wall baseboards. We highly recommend Bauer Flooring and Tile, LLC. Joe & La RosePosted on Mitchell GoldsteinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't rave enough on the success I had using Bauer Flooring on my new home. Brian the owner and his manager Denise, came out and measured everything, and I had a written estimate by the end of the day. They more than exceeding my expectations on the quality and detail on my floors base boards and molding. The results of their quality work far exceeding any expectations I had prior to the install. I had no idea how much work goes into putting in new floors. I had the entire downstairs floored in latex woods style panels, including two bathrooms and a laundry room. They handled all the details, from removing the washer and dryer, Kitchen appliances, the toilets and then reinstalling them. They created excellent transition pieces from the different rooms and those that have carpet included the carpeted stairs. They even caulked all the necessary areas in the bathrooms and kitchen areas. Their prices were very competitive and although they have a wide selection of product, I was able to use the flooring of my choice. I would never use anyone else.Posted on Sharlyn YamanohaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bauer Flooring and Tile came to our rescue Thursday. We had been working on an extremely tight schedule which started out as a 2 bathroom gut and remodel and morphed into a 2nd floor gut and popcorn ceiling removal. Denise and her crew arrived at 7:30 to reassess all measurement, then proceeded to doing what they do SO well. They had to remove considerable construction debris, and had to deal with not the just usual removal of carpet and pad, but destroyed carpet padding. They also repaired a previous 15 year old walk in closet addition that was not level which we hadn’t even noticed. The crew worked diligently and hard, and were so professional. They stayed on to complete the installation, taking care to cleaning up despite the long hours, staying past 8 pm due to our schedule. The carpet complemented our renovation beautifully. Denise returned the next day to check on their workmanship in the daylight, cleaning up tiny stray pieces, and advised us on the future upkeep to keep the carpet looking great. It was a real pleasure having Bauer Carpeting and Tile being so flexible in fitting us in and doing such exceptional work. We are very pleased to have found them!Posted on Jack TsongTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brian and his crew did an amazing job on our hardwood floors. We have a luxury condo in Ward Village and it now looks even better. He was very professional, he always kept in touch with us to make sure we liked the finishes and his price was extremely reasonable. I will definitely recommend him to anyone and I will use them again in the future!Posted on Stanford ChurTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I are so so happy with our new vinyl plank flooring project. Unlike many renovations to an existing residence regardless of size our experience was stress free. This all due to Bauer Flooring. Upon the onset of first meeting Brian and Denise, to the coordination of moving our furniture, to the installation of new; Bauer Flooring executed flawlessly. Vince and Derek were quality craftsmen and Denise was "Wonderwoman" meticulously providing inspections and detailed finishing touches. She is smart hardworking and has an outward likeable personality. It is evident that "doing the job the right way" is Bauer's way. Brian is highly knowledgeable and trustworthy. We are fortunate to have Bauer Flooring help us on our house and in the process met new friends. Of course we would highly recommend them!Posted on Anita Rosaline RajanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This review is long overdue. Brian and team did LVP flooring for our entire home in the Makaha valley last spring. Right from picking the right product for the floor to completion, Bauer Flooring did an amazing job. The finished product speaks for itself. Brian was with us every step of the way. The team was professional, personable, and most of all very flexible in accommodating our needs, mainly our short timeline. They worked on this project as if it were their own home, paying attention to every little detail. We are so very pleased. Thanks to Brian, Denise, Vince & Derick.
