Golden, CO · Flooring
Refinish the original oak hiding under your carpet, or lay new hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, or tile. We install floors all over Golden and build them for the settling, moisture, and mountain sun our homes deal with.
"They remodeled my bathroom and built a metal railing around my staircase. They did a great job on both projects, timely and responsive to all my requests. I would recommend JAC to anyone in the area."

Golden was incorporated in 1871, and its floors range from century-old oak downtown to slabs in Applewood ranches to sun-blasted foothills great rooms. Golden sits on Clear Creek at an elevation of about 5,675 feet, and each of those floors needs a different plan. Here is what we run into.
Homes near the 12th Street Historic District often have real oak floors buried under old carpet. We lift a corner, check the thickness, and if there is meat left we sand and refinish it so you get a floor that new product cannot match.
Old homes move. After a hundred-plus years, floors dip and slope. We flatten the subfloor with the right underlayment and choose a flooring that hides a little movement, so the finished floor reads straight and stays quiet underfoot.
Front Range claystone swells when it gets wet, and that can push a slab. Over a slab or a basement we check for moisture first and lean toward floors like luxury vinyl plank or engineered wood that tolerate a little movement.
Foothills homes above 6,400 feet in elevation take a lot of high-altitude UV through big south and west windows. That fades wood and some vinyl over time. We steer you toward finishes and products that hold their color in that strong mountain light.
Applewood mid-century ranches from the 1950s and 1960s often have hardwood over a wood subfloor or a slab. We match new wood to old where rooms meet, or run one clean floor through the main level to open the whole ranch up.
A straight floor swap usually does not need a permit. If we repair a rotten subfloor or fix moisture, that can pull a permit under City of Golden Municipal Code Chapter 15.08, or through Jefferson County in the foothills. We tell you up front which applies to your R-1 or R-2 lot.
