Finding the right floors in Hawaii can be a struggle. Between humidity, uneven slabs, pets, keiki and everyday foot traffic, homeowners have to look hard for flooring that can handle real island life while looking beautiful. Laminate is a dependable, scratch-resistant, low-maintenance option that fits many spaces without the hefty price of hardwood.
Here are the benefits of buying laminate flooring at Bauer Flooring:
Shopping for laminate flooring can be intimidating. With several patterns, textures, thicknesses, AC ratings and marketing jargon, knowing what will hold up in your Honolulu home can be a struggle. That's why we simplify things by bringing full-size samples directly to your home. Sourced straight from our WWII-era bunker flooring store in Waipahu, we let you browse laminate planks and laminate tiles in your space under your lighting without visiting a flooring store. Schedule a shop-at-home consultation to get started.
Laminate is a practical choice for O'ahu homeowners. These floors offer the perfect combination of style, durability and affordability in one package. Here are the biggest advantages:
Laminate easily stands up to scratches, dents and daily wear. It's ideal for homes with pets, kids or rental turnover.
Get the style you want without overspending. Laminate is an excellent choice for larger spaces or full-home updates.
Because it has a slight give, laminate is more comfortable than tile and quieter than stone or hardwood alternatives.
One of the highlights of laminate flooring is its ability to replicate hardwood and tile with incredible accuracy. It lets you enjoy the look without the upkeep or cost.
No special cleaners or complicated care routines here! Laminate flooring looks its best with minimal effort.
Laminate Flooring & Services We Offer on the Island
We provide a variety of laminate flooring products and services for your needs. All of our options combine durability, style and practical performance for Hawaii homes. Here's what we have to offer:
Laminate planks look like hardwood, but come at a fraction of the price. Textured surfaces, realistic grain patterns and a protective wear layer make them a top choice for busy homes. They resist scratches and scuffs, which is perfect for hallways, living rooms and family spaces.
Prefer a stone or tile look, but don't want the weight or grout? Consider laminate. Laminate tiles are much easier to maintain than real tile, are softer underfoot and come in several modern styles. That makes them the perfect option for kitchens or anywhere you want a clean, contemporary aesthetic.

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.

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.
