Carpet to Hardwood Transformation in Raleigh, NC
Residential Flooring Project Overview
Ortiz Flooring completed a 1,116 sq. ft. residential flooring transformation in Raleigh, NC, replacing old carpet with 2 1/4" Prefinished Honey Hardwood.
The homeowner wanted a more durable, timeless flooring solution than carpet — one that would add lasting value and beauty to the home. The full project was completed in just one week.
The Flooring Need
The homeowner wanted to replace old carpet with a more lasting flooring solution. The project began with removing the existing carpet to prepare the space for something built to last.
Beyond appearance, the goal was a floor that would hold up over time and add real, lasting value to the home.
Why Prefinished Hardwood Was the Right Flooring Solution
For this project, Ortiz Flooring recommended 2 1/4" Prefinished Honey Hardwood. Because it's prefinished, the color and finish are already applied at the factory, so the floor didn't require an additional on-site staining or finishing process after installation.
A beautiful, durable and timeless choice — ready to enjoy right after installation.
Residential Flooring Project Scope
From Carpet Removal to Hardwood Installation
A successful flooring transformation involves more than the finished surface. This project included removing the old carpet, preparing the subfloor, and installing the new 2 1/4" Prefinished Honey Hardwood — all completed in one week.
- 01 Old Carpet Removal
- 02 Floor Preparation
- 03 Prefinished Hardwood Installation
- 04 Final Detailing & Finish Check
What's underneath matters — a quality hardwood installation starts with proper floor preparation before a single plank goes down.
The Final Result
The finished hardwood gave the home a timeless look that's built to last — a clear step up from the old carpet, throughout the rooms and hallways.
1,116 sq. ft. of Prefinished Honey Hardwood, completed in just one week.
What the Client Said
"Had a great experience with Ortiz Flooring! They installed hardwood in our entire upstairs before we moved into our new house.
Things that stood out to me: They were able to get our floor installed very quickly under time pressure of us needing to move in; Alvaro (the owner) and his team clearly want every job to be done right, a vanishingly rare trait in a contractor; there were height differences on a few planks, they returned and fixed immediately; their pricing is fair especially for the quality of their work; the floor is really beautiful, which, in the end is what matters.
Additionally, in part I chose Ortiz because they are a local, family-run operation, trying to do good work at a fair price. Would strongly recommend, and I will use them myself in the future."
