Simon's Flooring and Design

  • How much does new flooring cost?

    New flooring costs depend on multiple factors, including your chosen material, the square footage of your space, and installation complexity. We offer transparent pricing and complimentary estimates to give you a clear understanding of your project investment. Contact us to arrange a consultation where we can evaluate your space and deliver an accurate, customized quote that fits your requirements and budget.
  • What flooring type is best for my space?

    The best flooring for your space is determined by several factors, including how the room will be used, expected foot traffic, moisture levels, and your design preferences. Our knowledgeable team will review your unique needs and suggest flooring solutions that provide the optimal combination of durability, ease of maintenance, and aesthetic appeal for your setting.
  • Do you offer free estimates or in-home measurements?

    Yes, Simon's Flooring & Design offers complimentary estimates and in-home measurements for all prospective projects. Our specialists will come to your location to accurately measure the space, review your flooring options, and provide a comprehensive quote with no commitment required from you.
  • How long does flooring installation take?

    Installation duration varies based on project size, selected flooring material, and the current subfloor condition. The majority of residential projects are finished within one to three days. We will provide you with a precise timeline for your specific project during the consultation.
  • Do you offer floor installation, or is it material-only?

    Simon's Flooring & Design provides complete flooring services that include both material sales and professional installation. Our experienced installers guarantee your new flooring is correctly installed for lasting durability. We can also accommodate material-only purchases if you prefer.
  • What's the difference between vinyl, laminate, hardwood, and tile?

    Each flooring type offers unique benefits. Vinyl is moisture-resistant, cost-effective, and comes in a wide range of styles. Laminate delivers a wood-like look at a more accessible price point and offers excellent scratch resistance. Hardwood provides authentic natural beauty and can be refinished multiple times, but needs more upkeep. Tile delivers exceptional durability, resists moisture effectively, and works well in kitchens and bathrooms. Our team will help you determine which material best suits your practical requirements and aesthetic preferences.
  • Do I need to move my furniture before installation?

    We suggest removing smaller items and personal belongings prior to installation. Our team is available to help relocate larger furniture pieces if necessary, but we encourage discussing these details during your initial consultation to facilitate a seamless installation experience.
  • What area do you service?

    Simon's Flooring and Design provides services to Prior Lake, MN, and nearby communities. If your location falls outside this general region and you wish to verify service availability, please reach out to us directly and we will gladly discuss your project needs.
  • What preparation is required before installation?

    Preparation needs differ based on your current flooring and subfloor condition. In most cases, existing flooring needs to be removed, the subfloor must be cleaned and leveled, and the installation space should be cleared of furniture and obstructions. We will supply detailed preparation guidelines tailored to your project during the planning stage.
  • What is the best flooring for high-traffic areas?

    For high-traffic areas, we suggest resilient materials like luxury vinyl, porcelain tile, or engineered hardwood. These choices endure heavy use while preserving their appearance over extended periods. The ideal option for your high-traffic location will depend on your particular usage requirements, maintenance expectations, and design objectives, which we will review with you during your consultation.
