Bauer Flooring & Tile

Your Trusted Flooring Store
in Honolulu, Hawaii

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.

Want the hardwood look without the hardwood price tag? Laminate flooring is a great option. Scratch-resistant, pet-friendly and stylish, laminate thrives in the busiest areas of Honolulu homes. 

Hardwood Alternatives

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.

Soft, quiet and comfortable, carpet is a staple of bedrooms and family spaces across the island. We offer durable carpet tile that helps create a cozy home environment.

Our Process—The Bauer Flooring Difference

Step 1

Visualize Your Space

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

Prepare Your Space

We do moisture checks, leveling assessments and subfloor prep to make sure your installation lasts, which is essential in humid Hawaii.

Step 3

Installation Day

Our flooring experts gets down to the details. That means crafting a precise layout, transitions and finishing touches with professionalism and aloha.

Step 4

Walkthrough and Satisfaction

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.

Uneven slabs are common in Honolulu. We provide skim coating, patching, grinding and moisture mitigation to get your home ready for your new flooring.

Stairs Installation

Installing stairs requires precision and care. We handle nosings, treads, angles and transitions to provide a seamless, intentional look.

Your flooring is the foundation of your space. That’s why we help you choose flooring that matches your lifestyle, style preferences and budget with friendly, no-pressure advice.
