James Gurgel

Owner - South Jersey

Hi there! I’m James Gurgel, the proud owner of Footprints Floors of South Jersey, and an engineer with a background in residential and commercial construction. I'm also a husband, a father of two, and a Youth Pastor at our local church..

My wife, Rebeca, and I were born in Brazil but raised in Long Branch, NJ. We met at her dad's church when I was 12 and she was 11 years old. I didn't really like her until we were about 17 years old. I took her to Senior Prom, and it just kept going from there. In 2018 we had a baby boy named Thomas and in 2020 we had a little princess named Angelica.

Being the Youth Pastor at our church is the icing on the cake! I lead roughly 50 younglings helping them to plan their lives and make better decisions. Every Friday we have a youth meeting at church that starts at 8PM and goes past midnight. I usually work Saturday in the morning. I love those kids.

I hold a degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Rutgers School of Engineering. I started my career as a design engineer and quickly moved up the ranks to management which led me to become a nuclear engineer for five years. With this background, I made the exciting leap into entrepreneurship by joining Footprints Floors of South Jersey. This opportunity allows me to test my engineering skills and create impressive and functional spaces that truly reflect my clients' styles. I'm thrilled to work with a talented team committed to excellence in service and craftsmanship. I look forward to leveraging my engineering expertise to contribute to our shared goals and enhance the overall client experience.

In my spare time, I like to spend time with my family. They're the reason for all this.

Thank you, James!

I bought a new refrigerator but when removing the old one, we discovered it had been leaking unfortunately for probably years. You could put your hand through the sub flooring and it even compromised the joists. Footprints Floors reinforced the joists, replaced the sub flooring and redid the tile. The tile was tricky as it was 13x13 and I couldn't match it. Footprints Flooring did such a great job of at least making a "pattern" with the new mismatched tile. It looks great. They were quick to respond and very professional. Price was great. I'm looking forward to have them back to actually cover the tile with laminate when time and my wallet permits!

James and his crew did an absolutely fantastic job installing LVP flooring in my shore house! From start to finish, they were professional, efficient, and detail-oriented. They took the time to properly prep the space, ensuring a flawless installation, and the final result exceeded my expectations. The flooring looks incredible, and their craftsmanship is top-notch. Plus, they were punctual, friendly, and left everything spotless when they finished. The cost was reasonable and when we ran into an issue with the subfloor, they came up with a solution that still fit within my budget! I highly recommend James and his team for anyone looking for quality flooring installation and I will definitely use them for future projects of mine. Thanks again for a job well done!

James and his team were fantastic. Quick, clean work and everything turned out exactly how we envisioned. He was also helpful in coming up with alternate designs that would better fit a congested area. Highly recommend.

First i would like to thank David and his crew for the excellent work they did sanding my floor. As per any project with unknown variables when trying to replace some boards they found a huge hole in the underlying sub floor. Without skipping a beat they had the section repaired and new boards put in. The project stayed on time and was finished in a day as they promised. Thanks again.

FAQs

Footprints Floors specializes in expert flooring installation, no matter the material. Our skilled contractors have ample experience with hardwood, laminate, vinyl, tile, engineered wood, and more.

You can trust us with any flooring project, big or small. Just let us know your home improvement vision, and we’re here to deliver impeccable workmanship every time.

The best flooring for your home will depend on the size of the space, your lifestyle needs, and your personal style preferences. High-traffic areas like bathrooms and kitchens may benefit from water-resistant options like vinyl or tile, while bedrooms might be more comfortable with carpet.

The function of the room is also very important. Families with pets or children may prioritize a material with easy upkeep, maintenance, and stain resistance. We are happy to guide homeowners through these decisions by assessing the space and recommending flooring solutions.

Flooring installation timelines vary based on the size of your project, the type of flooring, and the condition of the subfloor. Generally, smaller rooms can be completed within a day or two, while larger or more complex projects, such as multi-room installations or custom patterns, may take up to a week.

Preparation work, like removing old flooring and repairing the subfloor, can add time to the project. When you sign onto a project with us, we provide clear timelines during the initial consultation so you know what to expect.

Flooring installation with Footprints Floors starts with a complimentary in-home consultation and free estimate. After we help you decide the best flooring type for your space, you’ll find and purchase the necessary amount of material.

We begin the project by prepping the installation space, removing existing flooring, and cleaning the subfloor thoroughly. Any necessary repairs or leveling will be completed to create a stable foundation.

The flooring will then be installed along with any baseboards, trim, or sealants. When our install team is finished, they will clean up, leaving your home as it was before the project began.

Choosing the right flooring contractor for your project will save you time, money, and stress. Look for contractors with a strong local reputation, verified licenses, and insurance coverage. Reviewing examples of past work and customer testimonials is a great way to check for reliability.

Be clear about your budget and timeline, and choose contractors like Footprints Floors who communicate openly and provide free estimates before starting the job.

Yes, all contractors working on our team are fully licensed and insured for flooring installation. They undergo specialized training and are committed to professionalism.

You can trust Footprints Floors contractors to manage your flooring project with integrity and professionalism, ensuring full compliance with local building codes and manufacturer warranty standards.
