Question 1

What flooring and remodeling services does Route 50 Flooring & Cabinets offer in Maryland?

Accepted Answer

We install, sand, stain, seal, and refinish solid and engineered hardwood in oak, maple, cherry, hickory, and walnut. We also install ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone tile, plus laminate and luxury vinyl plank. Beyond flooring we build and install custom cabinets, and handle full kitchen and bath remodels, home additions, drywall, paint, and interior structural repairs — all under one Annapolis-based crew led by owner Earle Thomas.

Question 2

How does Route 50 keep the remodel hassle-free from start to finish?

Accepted Answer

Our 4-step process keeps it simple: (1) you call or text (410) 507-5493 for an immediate response, (2) Earle comes on site to measure, listen, and give a written estimate with no pressure, (3) our in-house crew builds it with a clean job site and daily communication, and (4) we finish with a walk-through and punch-list so nothing is left open. One point of accountability the entire project.

Question 3

Do you offer free in-home estimates and material samples?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every estimate is free, in-home, and delivered by Earle personally — not a commissioned salesperson. He measures the space, checks the subfloor, and brings hardwood species, tile, LVP, and cabinet door samples so you can see them in your own light before you commit.

Question 4

How long does a typical flooring or remodel project take?

Accepted Answer

Single-room flooring installs typically finish in 1–3 days. A full first-floor hardwood job runs 4–7 days including acclimation, install, sand, stain, and finish. A full kitchen remodel usually takes 3–6 weeks, and a full bathroom remodel 2–4 weeks depending on tile and plumbing scope. Every project gets an exact schedule at the estimate.

Question 5

What should I budget for a Route 50 project in the Annapolis area?

Accepted Answer

As a general range: LVP $6–$10/sqft installed, engineered hardwood $10–$16/sqft, solid hardwood $12–$20/sqft, tile $12–$22/sqft, and hardwood refinishing $4–$8/sqft. Full kitchen remodels typically run $35k–$90k and full bathroom remodels $18k–$45k depending on layout changes, cabinetry, and finish level. Every quote is itemized — no surprises.

Question 6

Can I update just my floors or cabinets instead of a full remodel?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We refinish existing hardwood, reface cabinets with new doors and hardware, replace vanities and tile, and swap plumbing fixtures as stand-alone jobs. Refacing or refinishing typically saves 40–60% versus a full tear-out and can be done in under a week.

Question 7

What warranty does Route 50 Flooring & Cabinets provide?

Accepted Answer

All of our labor is backed by a 2-year workmanship warranty. Materials carry their manufacturer's warranty — typically 25–50 years on hardwood finishes, lifetime structural on premium LVP, and lifetime on our cabinet boxes and hardware. If anything installed by our crew fails within the workmanship window, we come back and make it right.

Question 8

Are you licensed, insured, and permitted for work in Maryland?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Route 50 Flooring & Cabinets is fully licensed and insured in the State of Maryland, and we pull all required Anne Arundel County (and neighboring county) permits for remodels, additions, and structural work. You'll never be asked to pull a permit on our behalf.

Question 9

Which flooring holds up best against Maryland humidity, kids, and pets?

Accepted Answer

For high-traffic Chesapeake-area homes we recommend engineered white oak with a matte aluminum-oxide finish, or a premium 20-mil luxury vinyl plank. Both handle Maryland humidity swings and scratch far better than site-finished pine or bamboo. For baths and mudrooms, porcelain tile is still the most bulletproof option.

Question 10

Which Maryland neighborhoods does Route 50 serve?

Accepted Answer

We work out of 1050 Broadview Dr, Annapolis and serve Anne Arundel, Queen Anne's, Kent, Talbot, and Prince George's counties — including Annapolis, Severna Park, Edgewater, Arnold, Cape St. Claire, Kent Island, Easton, Bowie, and everywhere along the Route 50 corridor.
