The Ranking
Our top 7 flooring companies in Dallas
Dallas floors take a beating from the ground up. The city sits on expansive clay that swells in wet spells and shrinks in dry ones, so slabs flex, tile cracks and hardwood cups when moisture moves through a house. Older neighborhoods such as East Dallas, Lakewood and Oak Cliff have pier-and-beam bungalows with wood subfloors over a crawl space, while the northern and eastern parts of town are mostly slab-on-grade homes from the 1960s through the 1990s. Long hot summers and heavy air conditioning swings add more stress, which is why a good installer tests moisture before laying wood or vinyl and lets planks acclimate first.\n\nThe licence check is short because there is almost nothing to look up. Texas does not issue a state licence to flooring installers, and the City of Dallas does not require one for ordinary flooring work. That means insurance matters more than a licence number. Ask each company for a certificate of insurance and a written quote that names the product, the square footage, how the old floor is removed, whether furniture is moved and who handles baseboards. Structural repairs, plumbing or electrical work done alongside a floor can need a City of Dallas permit and licensed trades, so ask who pulls it. For complaints history, check the Better Business Bureau.\n\nThe seven companies below range from an installation-only crew to showrooms that bring samples to your house. Two specialize in hardwood, two sell and install a wide mix of products, and several add stair work, tile or bathroom projects. Each profile says what the website publishes, what reviewers say and what to ask before you book.
