Style Meets Everyday Strength
Laminate Flooring in McKinney, TX
If you're looking for flooring that combines the look of real hardwood or stone with exceptional durability and affordability, laminate flooring checks all the boxes. Today’s laminate is more advanced than ever, offering realistic textures, stunning woodgrain visuals, and even natural stone looks—thanks to high-resolution imaging and textured embossing.
Whether you want a wide-plank farmhouse look, modern gray tones, or the elegance of tile without the cold surface, laminate delivers the aesthetic—without the maintenance headaches or price tag. It’s ideal for high-traffic areas, living rooms, hallways, and home offices. Just keep in mind it’s not recommended for bathrooms or outdoor use due to moisture sensitivity.
McKinney Tips
The most important part of your laminate floor is the part you don’t see: the underlayment! It cushions, reduces sound, and acts as a moisture barrier. Ask about antimicrobial options for added protection.

Some laminates come with pre-attached underlayment, but others require a separate layer. Investing in a quality underlayment can reduce sound, add comfort, and protect your flooring over time.
Fast, Clean, Hassle-Free
How Laminate Installation Works
One of the biggest benefits of laminate? It’s quick and clean to install. Laminate floors are typically “floated” over the subfloor, meaning they don’t require glue or nails. Each piece clicks together tightly with minimal gaps, leaving a seamless look that’s ready for furniture in no time.
Our experienced installers handle everything—from precision cuts and underlayment to trim, transitions, and moldings—so your floor not only looks great but performs long-term.
a.) Wear Layer: This easy to clean surface contains aluminum oxide that protects the floor from stains, fading and wear.
b.) Image Design Layer: a photo graphic image of wood, stone, or virtually anything you can imagine
c.) Inner Core Layer: The core provides the floor's structural strength and stability. It is made from High Density Fiberboard (HDF).
d.) Backing Layer: found beneath the inner-core, the backing is made with resin saturated paper. It creates a moisture barrier that protects the floor from warping.
Easy to Maintain. Made to Last.
Laminate Floor Care & Maintenance
Laminate flooring is known for its low-maintenance lifestyle. With just a few simple habits, your floors can look fantastic for years.
DO:
- Use mats at all entryways to trap dirt and debris
- Sweep or vacuum regularly with a soft brush attachment
- Use a dry dust mop for routine cleaning
- Damp mop as needed (never soaking wet)
- Wipe up spills immediately
- Trim pets’ nails to avoid scratches
- Use felt pads under furniture to prevent surface damage
DON'T:
- Let water pool or stand—this causes swelling or warping
- Use abrasive cleaners, wax, or polish
- Drag heavy furniture—always lift or use gliders
- Use steam cleaners or wet mops
- Skip reading the care instructions from your manufacturer

Laminate Flooring FAQs
Can laminate flooring really look like hardwood or stone?
Yes! Today’s laminates use high-resolution imaging and embossed textures to replicate the grain and feel of real wood or stone.
Is laminate good for high-traffic areas like entryways or hallways?
Absolutely. Laminate is designed to withstand heavy foot traffic and is one of the most scratch-resistant surfaces on the market.
Can laminate floors get wet?
Laminate resists minor spills, but it's not waterproof. Avoid using it in bathrooms or areas prone to standing water. Clean up spills quickly.
What’s the difference between laminate and vinyl flooring?
Laminate is made with a wood-based core and offers more realistic wood textures. Vinyl is water-resistant and better for bathrooms and basements.
Do I need underlayment for laminate flooring?
Yes—unless your product comes with pre-attached underlayment. It helps reduce noise, adds comfort, and prevents moisture damage.

Out of this world! Love our new floors! Primo and his crew were absolutely amazing to work with, as well as owner Tommy Junker. These guys know what they are doing. McKinney Hardwood flooring with be our go to from now on! Thank you so much!! We still have a lot to do but the floors are amazing, I’ll post new photos when the renovation is complete
Heather Biehunko
We just finished getting 95% of the flooring in our house replaced with hardwoods and carpet in a few bedrooms. Tommy Junker was a great contractor. We got bids from five contractors. With Tommy's offering of products and pricing we chose McKinney Hardwood. He was efficient, responsive, and helpful throughout the project. The installers, Gregorio and Marcos, exceeded my expectations with their attention to detail. Curved stairs can be very tricky and I am very pleased with the result. We were also able to live in our house throughout the project because the guys made it doable. Great job!! Wishing you much success this coming year!!
Elisha Chapman
My husband and I wanted to redo our master bedroom, office and closet floors to match the rest of the hardwoods in the home. We were referred to Tommy by a realtor of my mom. Tommy was extremely kind and helpful. The process was extremely smooth and went wonderfully. We met with Tommy for a quote, booked same day and had the floors installed the next week. 4 gentleman, Gregorio, Marcos, Tony & Ivan all came and knocked out the project in a couple of hours. They were prompt, helpful and tidy! I highly recommend McKinney Hardwood Flooring for all your flooring needs!
Annette Wooters
Due to a faulty water line installation, we had water damage to our hardwood floor in the home we just purchased. Tommy was the most informative in helping us assess our options. We ended up replacing all the engineered hardwood on the first floor of our home with LVT. Tommy’s team worked with us and our painters to complete the tear out and install quickly and beautifully. I highly recommend McKinney Hardwood Flooring!
Pamela Meaney
I can’t say enough good things about McKinney Hardwood Flooring. The process was great from the moment we picked out our floors to the last day of work at our house. Gregorio and Marcos are so talented and did the best job ever with our hardwood floors and new baseboards. I truly can’t believe how new floors totally transformed our 20 year old craftsman style home. Juan and his crew are also super talented and artistic with their tile work, not to mention how they treated my home as if it was their mother’s house. Both the hardwood and tile teams took great care with our home and were so amazing to work with! Working with McKinney Hardwood Flooring to update and replace all of our floor was the best decision we have ever made!!!
