Central Valley Craftsmanship
Murray is the heart of the Salt Lake Valley. With its mix of charming mid-century brick homes and
booming commercial districts, it demands a versatile flooring partner. We love working in Murray
because the homes have "good bones"—usually solid oak subfloors or original hardwoods waiting to
be discovered.
At South Valley Flooring, we are restoration artists. We take pride in peeling
back the layers of 1990s carpet and 1980s vinyl to reveal the character underneath, or
installing new floors that respect the home's original architecture.
Mid-Century Modern Restoration
Murray has a high concentration of homes built in the 1950s and 60s. Many of these feature
original Red Oak or even finger-block parquet flooring. It is a crime to cover these up!
We specialize in restoring these treasures. Our dustless sanding process removes the ambered,
wax-laden old finish. We then apply modern, water-based sealers that strip away the yellow hue,
leaving the wood natural, matte, and incredibly chic. It’s the most eco-friendly and high-value
renovation you can do.
Commercial & Office Flooring
With Intermountain Medical Center and the fashion district, Murray is a hub for business. We
provide low-downtime commercial flooring services. We install heavy-duty Carpet Tile (easy to
replace if stained) and glue-down LVP for doctor's offices, retail shops, and lobbies.
We work after hours to ensure your business doesn't miss a beat. A fresh floor can completely
change the perception of your brand.
Kitchen & Bath Modernization
For kitchen renovations in older Murray homes, we often find multiple layers of old flooring
(linoleum on top of vinyl on top of plywood). We take the time to do the demo right. We strip it
down to the original subfloor to ensure we aren't losing ceiling height or trapping rot.
We recommend waterproof LVP for these spaces. It flows beautifully into the living areas,
creating that "open concept" feel even in a separation-wall home.
Refinishing Costs & Asbestos Safety
Refinishing Value: Surprisingly, refinishing your original hardwood is often
cheaper than buying and installing decent LVP. The result is a real wood floor that
adds significant appraisal value to your home. It's an investment that pays you back.
Handling Old Adhesives: Asbestos in old black mastic (glue) is a valid concern
in Murray homes. We can test any suspect glue we find. If it tests positive, we can encapsulate
it safely rather than disturbing it, saving you the high cost of abatement while ensuring your
family's safety.
