The Wood Look You Want Without the High Maintenance Hassle
Real hardwood flooring is great until you factor in Hawaii’s humidity, refinishing costs and the potential damage from sandy feet and active families. Quality laminate flooring provides beautiful wood-look floors with scratch resistance and easier care. However, you only get those benefits with professional flooring installation alongside expansion gaps, underlayment and moisture protection.
Here are the benefits of this service:
- Wood appearance at a fraction of the cost
- Scratch-resistant surface for busy households
- Professional installation prevents buckling and gaps
Laminate flooring is made for Hawaii homes, but before you make a commitment, you should know the basics. This means proper acclimation, correct underlayment and expansion space that accounts for humidity swings. Skipping these steps will leave you with buckling boards, noisy floors or gaps that show up months later. We bring full-size samples to you, help you explore laminate options and install flooring products with the precision needed for them to last. Ready to get started?

From the start, they showed a high level of professionalism and made the whole process stress-free.

Bauer Flooring Service Company, This is the Rose family review of our “Outstanding" service that was received by Bauer Flooring Service this past week.

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.

FAQs
FAQs About Laminate Flooring Installation in Honolulu
How long does laminate flooring take to install?
The majority of laminate flooring installation projects take a couple days depending on the square footage and complexity. Acclimation time adds 24-48 hours before installation begins, but our flooring installers let you know ahead of time and keep you informed throughout the process.
Does laminate flooring work in Hawaii's humidity?
Quality laminate flooring handles humidity with proper installation. Proper underlayment, expansion gaps and choosing products with good moisture ratings ensure your floors remain stable through Hawaii’s humidity swings.
Can laminate flooring go in bathrooms or kitchens?
It comes down to the product. Some laminate flooring products are water-resistant and work in kitchens, but bathrooms often have standing water and luxury vinyl flooring makes more sense for them.
Is laminate flooring noisy or hollow-feeling underfoot?
Cheap underlayment or skipping it entirely can create noise and a hollow feel. Our flooring contractors use quality underlayment that adds cushion, reduces noise and makes laminate feel solid underfoot while protecting against moisture.
