Transform your home with beautiful new floors. Hardwood, luxury vinyl plank (LVP), tile, carpet - we install it all. Licensed contractors, quality materials, and lasting results backed by our workmanship warranty.
New flooring is one of the most impactful home improvements you can make. Whether you're updating a single room or installing flooring throughout your entire home, the right material and proper installation make all the difference. At Cali Dream Construction, we've completed over 156 flooring projects across San Diego County, giving us deep expertise in what works best for our climate and lifestyle.
San Diego's unique conditions - coastal humidity in areas like La Jolla and Pacific Beach, temperature variations inland, and active lifestyles throughout - require flooring that can perform. That's why we've seen LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) become the most popular choice, offering the look of hardwood with superior durability and water resistance. But we install all types, helping you choose the perfect match for your home, lifestyle, and budget.
LVP is the most popular flooring choice in San Diego - and for good reason. It's 100% waterproof, extremely durable (perfect for families with kids and pets), and available in stunning wood-look and stone-look options. Modern LVP is virtually indistinguishable from real hardwood to the eye. It handles San Diego's temperature changes well and requires minimal maintenance. We recommend LVP for kitchens, bathrooms, living areas, and any high-traffic zones.
Nothing matches the timeless beauty and warmth of real hardwood. We install both solid hardwood and engineered hardwood (which is more stable in varying humidity). Popular species include oak, maple, walnut, and hickory. Hardwood adds significant value to your home and can last generations with proper care. Best for living rooms, bedrooms, and dining areas. We recommend avoiding hardwood in bathrooms and laundry rooms.
Tile is ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, entryways, and outdoor living spaces. We install ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone (marble, travertine, slate). Large-format porcelain tiles (24x24" or larger) are trending for their modern look and fewer grout lines. Tile is incredibly durable, waterproof, and perfect for San Diego's coastal areas. It also works well with radiant floor heating.
Carpet provides unmatched comfort, warmth, and sound absorption. It's ideal for bedrooms, bonus rooms, and stairs. We install various styles including plush, textured, and patterned carpets. Modern stain-resistant fibers make carpet practical even for active families. Many clients choose carpet for bedrooms while using LVP or hardwood in main living areas.

Common questions from San Diego homeowners
Costs vary by material: LVP $5-12/sq ft installed, hardwood $8-15/sq ft, tile $10-20/sq ft, carpet $3-8/sq ft. A typical 1,000 sq ft project costs $5,000-$15,000 depending on material choice and subfloor preparation needed.
LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) is the most popular choice - it's 100% waterproof, extremely durable, handles temperature changes well, and looks like real wood. Tile is ideal for coastal areas. Hardwood adds value but requires more maintenance.
Most single rooms take 1-2 days. Multi-room projects (500-1,000 sq ft) take 3-5 days. Whole home flooring (1,500+ sq ft) typically takes 5-10 days depending on material type and subfloor preparation needed.
Yes, rooms need to be cleared for installation. Many of our crews offer furniture moving as part of their service. We'll discuss this during your consultation and can provide quotes.
LVP is better for kitchens, bathrooms, and high-traffic areas because it's waterproof and scratch-resistant. Hardwood is better for living rooms and bedrooms if you want the authentic look and feel - and it can add more resale value. Many homeowners mix both!
LVP is the best choice for homes with pets - it's scratch-resistant, waterproof for accidents, and easy to clean. Look for products with a wear layer of 20 mil or higher. Tile is also excellent. Hardwood can work but may show scratches.
Yes! Demo and removal of existing flooring is included in most quotes. We remove old carpet, vinyl, laminate, or tile as needed. Hardwood refinishing and asbestos tile removal may require additional charges.
We provide a 2-year workmanship warranty covering installation and labor. This is in addition to manufacturer warranties on materials (typically 15-25 years for quality products). We stand behind our work!
