Posted on Kim MillerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We contacted Wildcat Flooring to refinish a bedroom floor. They also did repair to the floor. The results were amazing!! Jason went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied customers. We highly recommend Wildcat Flooring. 🌟Posted on Jessica ClementsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When my husband’s grandmother needed new carpet installed after a fall, Jason really came through. He texted with me about flooring options, came out to measure, and accommodated our budget/time constraints. The flooring has completely transformed the space and she’ll be coming home to a beautiful living/dining room area. There were a few concerns regarding timing of carpet arrival and Jason was about to still deliver! We will be using this company moving forward for any projects we have!Posted on Viktor TothTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Recently moved into a home in Richmond with hardwood floors that we thought were too far gone. Also had carpeting in the large living room and bedroom. After visiting and discussing with several flooring stores most didn’t want to even attempt to fix the floors, instead wanted to just cover it all with LVP. Fortunately we found Wildcat Flooring and Jason, who came over the very next day and was excited about the chance to bring our floors back to life as well as replacing the carpeting with hardwood. In the end he and his wonderful crew were able to restore and rejuvenate our existing floors while matching the new hardwood to the old floors. Best experience ever with such a major project. His pricing is also more than competitive. Don’t look any further for a flooring company, you won’t regret it. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.Posted on Heng ZhengTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great experience with Wildcat Flooring LLC! They completed the job right on schedule, and the quality of the work was excellent. Jason, the owner, was very easy to communicate with—professional, responsive, and clearly knowledgeable. Highly recommend!Posted on Cassandra SimpsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hands down, THE best choice for flooring! Jason came in, saw our mess, and took on the challenge. Communication was phenomenal as we had 2 rooms to empty leading up to install day. Professional and hard working, Jason and John were here to the end, knocking it out.Posted on Daniel MoscovitchTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

FAQS About Herringbone Wood Flooring in Lexington
What's the difference between herringbone and chevron hardwood?
While both flooring options use angled planks, they aren’t the same. Herringbone planks overlap at a 90-degree angle and chevron planks meet at a point (usually 45 degrees). Herringbone is classic and versatile.
Can you install herringbone floors in small spaces?
Of course! A herringbone wood floor can be adapted to smaller rooms, hallways or entryways to add depth and design to your space. It’s not just for big, open spaces.
Does herringbone cost more than standard wood flooring?
Herringbone installation is more labor-intensive so it may cost more than a straight lay. However, the visual impact and resale value can make it a worthwhile investment.
What type of wood works best in herringbone pattern?
While oak is the most popular, hickory, maple and walnut work beautifully. We help you choose the right option for your space based on durability, grain and color.
