Ortiz Flooring completed a 1,116 sq. ft. residential flooring transformation in Raleigh, NC, replacing old carpet with 2 1/4" Prefinished Honey Hardwood.

Completed hardwood flooring — Raleigh, NC
The Flooring Need
The homeowner wanted to replace old carpet with a more lasting flooring solution. The project began with removing the existing carpet to prepare the space for something built to last.
Beyond appearance, the goal was a floor that would hold up over time and add real, lasting value to the home.
Old carpet removed — preparing the space for hardwood
Why Prefinished Hardwood Was the Right Flooring Solution
For this project, Ortiz Flooring recommended 2 1/4" Prefinished Honey Hardwood. Because it's prefinished, the color and finish are already applied at the factory, so the floor didn't require an additional on-site staining or finishing process after installation.
A beautiful, durable and timeless choice — ready to enjoy right after installation.

From Carpet Removal to Hardwood Installation
A successful flooring transformation involves more than the finished surface. This project included removing the old carpet, preparing the subfloor, and installing the new 2 1/4" Prefinished Honey Hardwood — all completed in one week.
01 Old Carpet Removal
02 Floor Preparation
03 Prefinished Hardwood Installation
04 Final Detailing & Finish Check
What's underneath matters — a quality hardwood installation starts with proper floor preparation before a single plank goes down.
02 — FLOOR PREPARATION
03 — HARDWOOD INSTALLATION
The Final Result
The finished hardwood gave the home a timeless look that's built to last — a clear step up from the old carpet, throughout the rooms and hallways.
1,116 sq. ft. of Prefinished Honey Hardwood, completed in just one week.
"Had a great experience with Ortiz Flooring! They installed hardwood in our entire upstairs before we moved into our new house.
Things that stood out to me: They were able to get our floor installed very quickly under time pressure of us needing to move in; Alvaro (the owner) and his team clearly want every job to be done right, a vanishingly rare trait in a contractor; there were height differences on a few planks, they returned and fixed immediately; their pricing is fair especially for the quality of their work; the floor is really beautiful, which, in the end is what matters.
Additionally, in part I chose Ortiz because they are a local, family-run operation, trying to do good work at a fair price. Would strongly recommend, and I will use them myself in the future."

They offered to remove carpets before the painters came in and do their job after. The carpet selection was very good quality, installation was fast and perfect. The owner returned after to complete the wood flooring touch ups which was not an easy job! I'm so happy with them and I'd select them in the future with no hesitation!

They actually went above and beyond what we originally asked and all for a very reasonable price. They filled in all the gaps, repaired damaged boards, and even let us use a stain that we already had to help us save some money we'd spent already on the project. It really became apparent to us how great of a job they did when we would visit our friends and family that just had their floor redone and it would already be scratched up or didn't really look finished unlike ours! We would absolutely use them again!

Alvaro was very professional and listened to me and my needs. I had the entire 2-story home of flooring done and I can't say a single negative thing. Thank you so much!

I submitted a request for a quote and received a quick response to schedule an onsite appraisal shortly thereafter. Alvaro came for a consult that was efficient, informative and kind. When I decided to go forward with Ortiz Flooring, the process was very efficient: there were no gaps in communication and they acknowledged all down payments. Their communication was the best I’ve ever seen—that’s very reassuring. They notified me when materials were received. And the install exceeded expectations-it took only one day (small job) when I expected it might run over. Alvaro’s crew worked efficiently and well: they take very good care that all is done well and any loose ends are swiftly secured. Thank you. That kind of service is rare.

After a dishwasher leak damaged the wood flooring around our kitchen island, we needed a repair that would blend seamlessly with the rest of our home. Not only did they replace the affected area, but they also sanded and stained the entire first floor to ensure a perfect match—and the results were flawless. Their team was professional, respectful, and always on time. Communication throughout the process was clear and consistent, which made everything much less stressful. We were so impressed with the quality of their work that we hired them to refinish our stairs, and they did another outstanding job. If you’re looking for a company that truly takes pride in their craftsmanship and customer service, I highly recommend them.

From start to finish, communication with Alvaro (owner) and Kristin (Administrative Assistant), was excellent. Emails were responded to within minutes or at most a few hours. We liked the flexibility of our purchasing the LVP through Lowes, and using my husband’s veteran discount. Ortiz flooring picked up order.

Diego and Adrian were the two young men who removed old carpeting, installed the underlayment, LVP, quarter round molding, new risers & painted. What a work ethic! They were extremely conscientious, pleasant, and made sure every measurement was correct. If not quite right, a piece was re-cut. The job took two days. Note to Photos: I was so busy painting the Family Room, I forgot to take before shot. Huge improvement though. Bottomline – Would we use Ortiz Flooring again? Absolutely!
