Priya Nair

Priya has installed and inspected residential flooring for 14 years, from site-finished hardwood to large-format tile and luxury vinyl plank. She knows that the visible material is only half the cost — subfloor condition, leveling, removal of old flooring, and pattern complexity often decide the final price.

Her tile and wood certifications mean she reviews installation labor with a trained eye for what proper prep actually requires.

Priya reviews the flooring, tile, carpet, and epoxy calculators to ensure per-square-foot ranges include the prep work homeowners forget.
