Grand Scale Flooring for Draper Estates

Draper is home to some of the most impressive properties in the Salt Lake Valley. Large floor plans, winding staircases, and two-story foyers define the local architecture. These spaces demand flooring that can stand up to the scale of the home without looking busy or cheap.

At South Valley Flooring, we have the team size and expertise to handle 3,000+ square foot projects efficiently. We understand the unique engineering challenges of hillside homes and the aesthetic demands of luxury remodeling.

The Hillside Challenge: Stability

Homes in Suncrest and South Mountain offer incredible views, but they sit on shifting soil. The constant minor movement can wreak havoc on rigid flooring like travertine or porcelain tile.

We mitigate this by using:

  • Uncoupling Membranes: Systems like Schluter-Ditra that allow the subfloor to move independently of the tile.
  • Floating Floors: High-end engineered wood that "floats" over the subfloor rather than being glued to it, preventing stress cracks.
  • Flexible Adhesives: Premium urethane glues that offer elasticity.

Custom Staircases: The Centerpiece

Replacing the carpet on a curved staircase with hardwood is one of the most transformative upgrades you can make. It is also one of the most technical.

We custom fabricate stair noses to match your flooring perfectly. We can create floating stairs, replace old oak balusters with modern horizontal iron railings, and install integrated LED tread lighting for a truly modern look.

Wide Plank European Oak

The trend in Draper is undeniable: wider is better. We install planks up to 10 inches wide. In our dry climate, this requires specific product knowledge. We verify the "lamella" (wear layer) thickness and the core construction to ensure your wide planks won't cup or split when the winter winds drop the humidity to 10%.

Large-Scale Dustless Refinishing

Refinishing 2,000 square feet of main-level hardwood while you are living upstairs requires serious dust management. Our truck-mounted vacuums and HEPA scrubbers keep your air clean. We also offer UV-cured finishes—the same technology used in factories—which allows you to walk on your floor and put rugs back immediately after we finish.

Draper Flooring FAQs

1. How do you handle settling in hillside homes (Suncrest)?

Homes in Draper's foothills can experience settling. We recommend engineered hardwood or luxury vinyl with flexible adhesive. If tile is a must, we use uncoupling membranes to isolate the tile from subfloor movement.

2. Can you refinish a curved staircase?

Yes. Curved staircases are a signature of many Draper estates. They require hand-sanding and skilled craftsmanship to refinish without damaging the risers or skirt boards.

3. What is the timeline for refinishing 3,000+ sq ft of hardwood?

Large-scale refinishing projects typically take 7-10 days. We can use UV-cured finishes to allow you to move furniture back in immediately after the final coat, reducing downtime.

4. Do you install iron railings with new stair treads?

Yes. We often replace outdated wooden balusters with modern iron spindles while replacing the stair treads. This complete staircase makeover dramatically modernizes the entryway.

5. Will wide-plank flooring gap in the dry foothills?

Draper's windy, high-elevation climate is dry. Solid wood wide planks will gap. We almost exclusively recommend high-quality engineered European Oak for widths over 5 inches.

6. Can you install marble or stone in my foyer?

Absolutely. We specialize in large-format stone and porcelain installations. We ensure the subfloor is deflection-free (stiff enough) to support the weight of natural stone without cracking.

7. What flooring do you recommend for a luxury home gym?

We install virgin rubber rolls (low odor) or architectural rubber tiles. These provide shock absorption for weights and cardio equipment while looking sleek enough for a high-end home.

8. How do you handle dust in a home with 20-foot ceilings?

Dust can travel easily in open-concept homes. We build plastic containment walls and use negative air scrubbers. Our sanding machines are connected to powerful vacuums located outside.

9. Can you match my existing Brazilian Cherry floors?

Yes. While trends have shifted to lighter oaks, we can source raw Brazilian Cherry (Jatoba) or Walnut and sand/finish it on-site to weave into your existing floor seamlessly.

10. Is there a warranty for installation on hillsides?

We warranty our workmanship 100%. However, we cannot warranty against damage caused by geological foundation shifts. We do use installation methods designed to mitigate these risks.
