What Sets Lucas Apart

Why Do Homeowners Trust Lucas With a Flooring Project?

Systems-Based Recommendations

Each recommendation considers the flooring material, product construction, installation method and conditions inside the home.

Preparation Before Installation

Subfloor condition, moisture levels, stability and environmental factors are reviewed before finished flooring is installed.

Long-Term Performance

Flooring is selected for its ability to handle traffic, moisture, movement and daily use, not only for how it looks when newly installed.

Hands-On Quality Control

Technical decisions, difficult installations, preparation standards and final inspections receive direct oversight.

EXCEPTIONAL! I am a real estate professional in the area and do a lot of renovation and repair on many different homes, whether clients are selling, buying or just improving. Most recently there was some warped and water damaged wood floors in kitchen from a house that was built 30 years ago. * Extremely professional and quick on first consultation/ estimate. * repaired sub flooring and new floor replacement within hours - very quick! * Matched the existing floor amazingly (wood floors age, color changes with patina over the years)... Fast, attentional to detail, quality work and get this... their pricing comes in dramatically better than the competition! I will be using this company from here on out in all my personal and client's needs!

Had them strip out carpet/ pad from office and replace with solid oak to match the rest of house. Beautiful work. The guys were respectful of our time, communicated clearly, and were VERY neat. Totally satisfied with the experience

We had a great experience with Right Step. They came to my house with samples and gave me a quote. Employees were friendly and easy-going. I was not pressured at all! They were fast: about a two week wait for install after I paid the deposit and only a one day installation. They were also half the cost of all the other companies who quoted us, and they included more than others, such as reinstalling our toilet and providing new baseboards to replace our warped ones. The man who did the installation stayed while I inspected his work and quickly fixed a few minor issues I noticed. Seriously great people to work with! The floor (LVP) looks incredible too.

He did a great job on my stairs, landing and hallway upstairs. He matched my downstairs hardwoods perfectly. Very happy with the results..

We had a great experience having carpet removed and LVP installed in a bedroom. The process was very easy and Right Step was in touch throughout. We appreciated the itemized estimate and walk through of their process. The installers were professional and timely. We will contact them for our future flooring needs!

After many months years of looking at dull and very dark cherry hardwood floors, I decided to start the refinishing project. I anticipated a long, difficult process and the prospect of being out of my home for a lengthy period. I was lucky enough to read about Right Step Flooring on social media, and after contacting them, I met with Ben who answered all my questions and put my hesitation to rest. I am so happy that I made the decision to go with Right Step. My floors look amazing. I am no longer ashamed to have anyone see them. Meeting Lucas, the owner, at the final walk through gave me an appreciation for the business he has created. I highly recommend Right Step Flooring.

“Right Step” flooring certainly proved that they were the “right choice” for our project..The team that did the job was very professional and did a great job weaving in some new hardwood pieces and refinishing our existing hardwood floor. We would certainly recommend Right Step flooring for anyone needing hardwood flooring installation and refinishing.

Areas of Technical Focus

What Flooring Work Does Lucas Oversee?

Flooring Installation

Solid hardwood, engineered wood, luxury vinyl plank, laminate and tile are installed with suitable preparation and clean transitions.

Hardwood Refinishing

Worn hardwood floors are restored through controlled sanding, surface preparation, staining and protective finishing.

Custom Stair Projects

Custom treads, risers, landings, transitions, trim and rail details are coordinated with nearby flooring.

Subfloor and Moisture Management

Subfloors are checked for flatness, stability, damage and moisture before levelling, repair or moisture-control work begins.

Whole-Home Flooring

Materials, transitions and installation methods are coordinated across multiple rooms to create a consistent flooring system.

Technically Complex Installations

Challenging subfloors, moisture conditions, product requirements and installation environments receive detailed technical planning.

Project Experience

What Types of Projects Has Lucas Guided?

Lucas has guided projects ranging from smaller residential renovations to full whole-home flooring transformations. His experience includes hardwood, engineered wood, luxury vinyl plank, laminate and tile installations, along with custom stair projects, hardwood sanding and refinishing, flooring transitions and multi-room upgrades.

He has supported projects involving uneven or damaged subfloors, moisture concerns, product-specific installation requirements and challenging jobsite conditions. Before work begins, he reviews the condition of the space, the selected material and the installation method needed to support reliable performance.

His knowledge of flooring products, installation systems and site conditions helps protect both the visible finish and the technical work beneath it. This attention to preparation, material compatibility and installation detail gives homeowners greater confidence in how their floors will look, function and perform over time.
