Mason Homes handles flooring installation across the Tampa Bay area as a component of larger renovation and construction projects — tile, LVP, hardwood and engineered hardwood suited to Florida humidity.
Typical planning depends on the flooring material, subfloor condition, room area and any moisture mitigation required. Flooring is usually sequenced with cabinetry, trim and paint on remodel projects. Standalone flooring installation is available where it forms part of a broader project scope.

Every project's scope is tailored. Here's what we manage directly — permits, trades, and materials included.
LVP is the most requested flooring material in Tampa. It is 100% waterproof, handles humidity without expansion or contraction, and installs quickly over most existing subfloors. Modern LVP products from brands like COREtec, Shaw Floorte, and Mohawk RevWood closely replicate the look of hardwood at a lower cost. LVP installation in a standard 1,500 sq ft home takes 2-3 days.

Tile is the traditional Florida flooring choice — zero moisture absorption (porcelain absorbs less than 0.5% water), extremely durable, and available in wood-look, stone-look, and decorative patterns. We install floor tile in kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, and whole-home applications. Large-format tiles (24x24 and larger) require a level subfloor — we handle leveling compound and backer board prep as needed. Tile installation takes 3-7 days for a standard home including mortar cure time and grouting.
Solid hardwood (3/4-inch oak, hickory, maple) is available for Tampa homes with whole-home dehumidification systems. Without humidity control, solid hardwood in Florida will expand and contract seasonally, causing gaps, cupping, or buckling. We install and finish site-finished and prefinished hardwood. Hardwood installation takes 3-5 days for a standard room, plus 2-3 days for site-applied finish (sand, stain, polyurethane). Read our Florida humidity flooring guide →
Engineered hardwood handles Florida humidity better than solid hardwood. Its layered construction (real hardwood veneer over plywood or HDF core) resists expansion and contraction. Engineered hardwood is a strong option for Tampa homeowners who want the look and feel of real wood with better moisture stability. Installation takes 2-4 days for a standard home.
Laminate is a budget-friendly option that replicates wood and stone looks. Modern laminate with water-resistant cores performs well in most rooms, though we do not recommend laminate in bathrooms or laundry rooms where standing water is common. Laminate installs as a floating floor — no glue or nails — and takes 1-2 days for a standard room.
Marble, travertine, and slate tile installation. Natural stone requires sealing upon installation and periodic resealing (every 1-2 years) to prevent staining. Stone flooring is most commonly requested for entryways and bathrooms in Tampa homes. Installation timelines are similar to porcelain tile: 3-7 days depending on scope.

| Material | Cost per Sq Ft (installed) | Best For | Humidity Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| LVP | $3 - $10/sq ft | Whole home, kitchens, baths | Excellent |
| Porcelain tile | $5 - $15/sq ft | Kitchens, baths, entryways | Excellent |
| Ceramic tile | $3 - $10/sq ft | Bathrooms, laundry rooms | Excellent |

| Solid hardwood | $8 - $18/sq ft | Climate-controlled homes only | Poor without dehumidification |
| Laminate | $3 - $8/sq ft | Bedrooms, offices | Moderate |

Labor rates in the Tampa market run $44-$60/hour for skilled trades (per Estimate Florida Consulting). Material costs are up 5-7% year-over-year in Florida (per Estimate Florida Consulting).
Typical whole-home flooring project: 1,500 sq ft of LVP at $5-$8/sq ft installed = $7,500-$12,000. 1,500 sq ft of porcelain tile at $7-$12/sq ft installed = $10,500-$18,000.

Start a Project →Every project runs the same disciplined path. No surprises, clear numbers, one point of contact from first visit to final walkthrough.
We visit your home, measure all rooms, evaluate the existing subfloor condition, and discuss material options. This visit is free and takes about 45-60 minutes.
We help you choose the right flooring for each room based on usage, humidity exposure, budget, and aesthetics. We bring samples to your home so you can see materials in your actual lighting.
Line-by-line pricing for materials, subfloor prep, removal of existing flooring, installation labor, transitions, and trim. No hidden fees.
We remove existing flooring, check for moisture (moisture meter testing on concrete slabs is standard in Tampa), level the subfloor with self-leveling compound where needed, and install backer board for tile applications.
Our crew installs your flooring, cuts and fits around obstacles, installs transitions between rooms and at doorways, and replaces or installs new baseboards and quarter-round trim.
We walk through every room together. You approve before final payment.
