Stone Flooring

Premier Minneapolis Stone Installation From Top Industry Professionals


Stone flooring is a natural material that can add elegance and sophistication to your home. However, it is also tough to install correctly because of the many variables involved in laying stone floors.

When choosing a stone for your floor, knowing what you're getting into when installing the product yourself is essential. Stone floors have varying degrees of hardness that require various tools and techniques during installation. If you’re looking for professional stone floor installation in Minneapolis, Footprints Floors has what you need. Our expert flooring installers will also take care of prep and cleanup to provide your home with beautiful new stone floors!

What is Stone Flooring?

Stone flooring may be a good choice for those who prefer an earthy feel. One can choose from many stone flooring types, including limestone, travertine, granite, marble and slate. The characteristics of those options will vary with each choice.

Limestone


Limestone flooring is a type of stone flooring that can be found in many modern-day residences. This type of stone flooring is not only popular, but also has many benefits. Limestone floors are one of the most durable types of materials due to their tough and heavy characteristics.

Limestone floors can hold up against scratches and spills, which means they do not need to be refinished as often as other materials.

Travertine


Travertine flooring is made of limestone that has been compacted and cemented together. Travertine comes in various colors, from tan, to brown, to black, each with unique characteristics.

Travertine can be challenging to install on your own due to the weight of the stone and the fact that it may not adhere if not correctly pressed down onto a surface. Travertine flooring will have a natural feel, as all the color variations come from natural impurities in the stone's formation.

Granite


Granite is an igneous rock that has formed over millions of years by the cooling and solidifying magma below Earth's surface. It is one of the hardest natural materials known to man. Granite's physical characteristics make it preferable for flooring as it has a uniform grain and texture, making each slab naturally easy to split into slabs.

The uniformity of granite also means that there are rarely any surprises with the final product because every piece will look similar to its neighbors.

Granite flooring is resistant to heat, water, scratches and stains, making it great for kitchens and bathrooms where spills are common. It is also very durable, so the stone can be used in areas with heavy traffic such as hallways or foyers without wearing down or becoming damaged easily. The surface of granite has a low porosity which makes it resistant to dirt buildup.

Marble


Marble is a metamorphic rock of mineral aggregate, with variable hardness and a high natural polish. It can be used as a cheaper alternative to granite flooring.

Marble slabs are generally more economical than granite slabs. Although marble slabs have a glossy appearance, they may have a slight sheen or texture that makes them less desirable for high-traffic areas at first glance. Still, marble slabs offer many of the same benefits as granite slabs with less expense involved.

Slate


Slate flooring is a type of stone that is found in metamorphic rocks. Slate is mined from the earth and then worked to create versatile flooring options for different applications. Slate can be polished to have a high sheen, matte finish — or somewhere in between. There are also textured slates available for those who want a more rustic look without the additional cost of installation.

What Rooms in Your Home are Appropriate for
Stone Flooring?

Stone flooring will add an organic touch to a room and also give off a feeling of luxury and wealth. Stone floors may be ideal for living rooms, studies or dining rooms, but they can be used in foyers and hallways as well. The material is heavy and durable, suitable for any high-traffic area that may get lots of wear and tear.

How to Install
Stone Flooring

Stone floor installation should be professionally completed by a Footprints Floors specialist, as it can be difficult without the proper equipment and experience.

For the best results, the stone should be installed over plywood or concrete for stability and ease of installation. The type of adhesive used will depend on what type of stone flooring is being installed and the desired result.

Stone Flooring
Cleaning and Maintenance

Stone floors may be susceptible to scratches, chemicals and oils, which can leave residue behind, so special care must be taken when spills occur. Spills should be cleaned up quickly to avoid leaving an unsightly mark on the floor. It is recommended that professional cleaning and polishing the stone be done every six months and after any spills to keep it looking shiny and new. Stone floors can last up to 30 years before needing an update.

Stone flooring is a unique choice for those who want a strong, organic element in their home or office space. Proper installation is vital to the longevity of the product and should be performed by a professional, like those at Footprints Floors.

What Our Customers Say

Hayden and the installation team were excellent. We were very pleased with the work and the finished product. Hayden was on site for part of the work and was always very, very responsive. Heidi and Mort

We hired Footprint Floors to remove the carpet on our second floor and stairs, and to install flooring to match what we already had on our main floor. They were prompt in communication with us, and helpful in guiding us to get the correct materials and identify solutions for components to the project we hadn’t considered. When install day arrived the team was efficient, minimally disruptive, and over all did a great job. They were able to work around a few pieces of furniture we were not able to move from the main floor - relieving significant stress on our end. When the stairs ended up not matching perfectly they went above and beyond to find a solution. We absolutely love the final product!

Great from start to finish!!!
Lindsay Grabb 03/19/24 — google
Hayden and his crew were great to work with. They installed laminate flooring on steps and in bedroom replacing very old carpet. It took just a couple of days to remove all of the carpet and install new flooring. Everyone said steps are tricky to do but they did it and the minor issues that came up they presented alternatives and overcame the issues. It was all done for exactly what was quoted also.
TOM SCOTT 03/5/24 — google
Footprints Floors Minneapolis gave us very prompt service for both quoting and installation. Time from RFQ to onsite estimate/measuring was less than a week and after we accepted the quote they were able to schedule install the next week. The crew came out and installed 600 sqft of flooring in a day! I would definitely recommend these guys for any of your flooring needs.

Carson's expert advice during my quote made selecting the perfect flooring a breeze. Highly recommend Footprint Floors for a seamless and enjoyable flooring experience. Thanks, Carson!

Highly recommend Footprint Floors! From the initial visit to the final product, I was so pleased with Hayden and Walter. Great communication, incredible finish to our floors, and reasonable prices!
Jillian Hiscock 01/26/24 — google
Many thanks to Hayden, Walter and team for their customer oriented persistence in getting this project finished. Oak flooring was interlaced. Sanding came out smooth and right up to the quarter round. There was minimal dust. It took an extra coat to get the water based finish smooth, but Hayden was there to fully back up our project and his installation.

Footprint and Hayden did a great job on my 100 y.o. wood floors. Very smooth, no defects, and great customer service.

Walter and Hayden recently sanded and stained my wood floors, and I couldn't be happier with the results. They worked efficiently, minimized disruptions, and maintained a clean workspace. Communication was excellent, with regular updates on the project's progress. Walter was beyond great! I highly recommend Hayden and Footprints Floors for their exceptional craftsmanship and dedication. My wood floors now look stunning, thanks to their skill and commitment to customer satisfaction.

Working with Hayden and his team were amazing. They always showed up on time, they were professional and careful with their work. Hayden was so knowledgeable and helped us find the perfect wood for our project. He answered all of our questions with detailed and prompt responses. His team finished our main floor: floor and baseboards -750sqft - in 2 days! They had the best value and vibe out of the 5 we got quotes from. Would recommend to anyone looking for an expert flooring team!

Barefoot Floors did an amazing job restoring our wood floors. We ended up needing to replace quite a few damaged boards, and they look like they were always a part of the floor. The floors look great!
Lindsay Robinson 11/8/23 — google
I recently hired Footprints Floors to redo the stairs in my house and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the team was professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain the process to me and answer any questions I had. The craftsmanship of the work was outstanding. The stairs look absolutely beautiful and are now a standout feature in my home. The team worked efficiently and left the work area clean and tidy each day. Overall, I highly recommend Footprints Floors for any flooring needs. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality work is exceptional. Thank you, Footprints Floors, for transforming my stairs into a work of art!

Great experience all around. Hayden and team were responsive, professional and did great work. Would highly recommend
Brian Simons 10/7/23 — google
We hired Footprints Floors for a laminate flooring repair. I was worried because the damage was in the middle of the floor - a significant amount of planking had to be removed to access the damaged ones. The crew was professional, courteous, and they cleaned up afterwards. They knew what they were doing and did an awesome job - our floor looks like new!
Chet Olson 10/6/23 — google
Carson from the footprint team does amazing work. He is professional, explains things clearly, and is a pleasure to work with. Would recommend!
Zach Meierhofer 10/2/23 — google
On time and professional floor refinishing, beautiful work! Estimate was reflective of work and there were no surprise cost. Carson told us up front that in his professional opinion a dark stain would be better than the clear. We upgraded to a better stain instead of clear as recommended after the sanding was complete and reveled stains that were deep into the wood. Footprints Floors admin team and crew were great. My client bumped into them at the property and was impressed with their level of professionalism and friendliness. As a busy REALTOR/ real estate agent in Minneapolis metro who needs contractors I trust and that will be good for my current and future clients I Heather Zielinski with Coldwell Banker Minneapolis Lakes endorse Footprints Floors and look forward to a continued business relationship!
Heather 08/25/23 — google
Quality, Friendly, Professional Service! I will be returning to Footprints Floors for any future flooring work.
Paul Stemper 08/14/23 — google
See our before and afters! Hayden and team did a fantastic job restoring our 1915 original hardwood floors. Even when thrown a few timeline & finishing curveballs, they completed the job on time and our floors have never looked or felt better! We have received so many compliments and will definitely use Footprint Floors for our future projects!
Cassi McCarthy 03/11/23 — google
