Flooring in Stafford, TX
Footsteps Flooring installs and services floors throughout Stafford, TX. A compact, business-heavy city with no municipal property tax, where we install floors in single-story late-20th-century homes and in offices, shops and showrooms along the same streets.
Floors built for Stafford homes.
Stafford is small, about 17,666 people in 2020, but it punches above its size. It has run without a city property tax since 1995, operates the only municipal school district in Texas, and pays its way with sales and franchise taxes from the businesses inside its limits. Flooring in Stafford, TX is half residential, mostly single-story homes from the second half of the 20th century, and half commercial. We handle both, and we come to you.
Stafford's history begins with William Stafford, who set up a plantation with a cane mill and cotton gin here in 1830. The settlement became a townsite in August 1853, when the railroad began stopping, and Stafford incorporated as a city in 1956. In 1977 it broke away from Fort Bend ISD to form the Stafford Municipal School District, still the only school district in Texas run by a city. Since 1995 it has had no municipal property tax at all, funding itself with sales and franchise taxes instead. For a long time Texas Instruments was the largest employer; its Stafford plant closed in 2012.
All of that adds up to a city with an unusual balance: about 7,400 housing units in 2020, and a budget carried by the businesses that operate here. So this page is split the same way our Stafford work is.
What we run into in Stafford
If you own a home in Stafford
Most of Stafford's housing is single-story and was built in the latter half of the 20th century, with some newer development mixed in. Neighborhoods such as Stafford Run, Crestmont Village, Dove Country and Kingsway give a sense of the range. Single-story homes are, frankly, some of the nicest floors to install: no stairs to plan around, long sight lines where one continuous floor really shows, and every room on the slab.
That slab is the thing to understand. The Houston area sits largely on clays that shrink and swell with moisture, and after a few decades many slabs here have small cracks and gentle humps or dips. Before installing, we check flatness and grind or level where it is needed. Floating floors such as luxury vinyl plank and laminate tolerate small movement well. Engineered hardwood is the right way to get real wood on concrete. Tile goes over a crack isolation membrane so slab movement does not show up as cracked grout a year later.
Older homes also bring older floors. It is common to find carpet over vinyl, or tile laid over tile, and sometimes old adhesive that has to be dealt with before anything new can bond. Removal and slab prep are part of our work, not a subcontracted extra. We also replace baseboards, quarter round and transitions so the finished job looks intended rather than patched together.
Water is worth a moment too. Parts of Stafford drain to the Brays Bayou watershed, which saw record flooding during Harvey in 2017. If your home sits low, waterproof LVP or porcelain tile on the ground floor is the practical choice.
If you run a business in Stafford
Offices, shops and light industrial spaces need floors that handle traffic and rolling carts and can be installed without closing for a week. We install commercial flooring including LVT, carpet tile and porcelain tile, and we can talk through phasing a job so part of the space stays open. Carpet tile in particular suits offices: damaged or stained tiles can be swapped out one at a time instead of replacing a whole room.
Both sides of the business work the same way with us. There is no showroom to drive to. We bring samples to you, measure the space and give you a written quote. The estimate is free, and installation workmanship is covered by our Lifetime Installation Guarantee. For bigger residential jobs, ask about our current offer of $500 off projects over 1,000 square feet. Call (346) 396-6398.

Stafford homeowners
"If you need flooring work done, hire Next Floors immediately! Working with the owner, Jose Garcia, was an incredible experience. Jose removed the entire upstairs flooring and replaced it with wood that matches our downstairs perfectly, along with installing brand new carpet on the stairs. The result is pure perfection! Jose is beyond trustworthy and honest, and he truly takes pride in his work. He offered a fantastic, high-quality product and executed our agreed-upon plan to absolute perfection. The craftsmanship, precision, and care were top-tier. We couldn't be happier with our transformed home!"
The Severin Family · via google "We had a great experience with Next Floors installing a carpet runner on our stairs. Jose, our sales representative, was fantastic—very prompt, professional, and clear throughout the entire process. He provided straightforward estimates for both cost and timing, and they were even able to work us into their schedule on very short notice. Joe, our installer, was equally impressive. He came well prepared, worked efficiently, and did an excellent job with the installation. The finished runner looks fantastic and really transformed the stairs. Great service from start to finish. I would highly recommend Next Floors for anyone looking for quality carpet installation and excellent customer service!"

Flooring in Stafford, questions
Do you install flooring in Stafford offices and retail spaces?
Yes. We install commercial flooring such as LVT, carpet tile and porcelain tile, and we can plan the work in phases so part of your space stays open. We'll walk the space with you, measure and give you a written quote.
Our single-story Stafford home has an uneven slab. Can we still get new floors?
Usually, yes. We check flatness during the estimate and grind or level the high and low spots before installing. Floating luxury vinyl plank and laminate tolerate minor slab movement well, and tile goes over a crack isolation membrane to keep grout lines from cracking.
Flexible financing available
Flexible payment plans for qualified customers, subject to credit approval. Minimum monthly payments required.
