At Big Easy Flooring we floor hotels, lobbies and guest rooms across New Orleans and the surrounding parishes. Contact us and we will walk the space, measure it and price the work.
A lobby has to look right and take grit off the street. A corridor has to stay quiet. A guest room has to feel comfortable underfoot. Back of house has to survive trolleys and spills.
Those are four different briefs, and a hotel usually needs all of them answered in one project with a finish that still reads as one building.
That is a specification problem before it is a laying problem, which is why the survey covers every area rather than the headline spaces.
Four systems for a building that has to look right and stay quiet at the same time.
Lobbies and entrances, where the floor takes grit off the street and is the first thing a guest sees.
More on natural stoneCorridors and guest rooms, where quiet is a review score and comfort underfoot is the point.
More on contract carpetBars, restaurants and suites, away from the wet areas, where a real board does something no substitute manages.
More on hardwoodBathrooms and back of house, where standing water and repeated mopping are part of the routine.
More on tileFootfall carried between floors is one of the things guests notice most, and one of the few flooring faults that ends up in a review.
Underlay choice and the way a floor meets the structure change that more than the surface material does. A good carpet on a thin underlay is the most common way to waste money on a hotel corridor.
Stairs deserve their own answer. They take the heaviest wear in the building and they wear at the nosing first.
Hotels rarely empty, so work usually runs floor by floor or wing by wing, and the schedule is agreed with you before anything starts.
Rooms come back into use on a date you can sell, which means cure times and drying times are built into the plan rather than hoped around.
Where a lift or a stair has to stay live, that is a scheduling constraint we want to know at the survey, not on the day.
The substrate in every area, the existing build-up, the acoustic requirement and the access route for material.
On a slab we take a moisture reading. In a corridor we look at what is under the existing carpet, because that is usually where the acoustic performance actually comes from.
The quote goes in writing, area by area, with the preparation priced in rather than left out to shrink the headline.
A hotel job prices on access and program as much as on area.
We will not quote a rate over the phone, because a rate without a measure is a guess with a number on it. We come out, measure, test what needs testing and put it in writing.
Yes, and for an occupied hotel that is usually the sensible way to run it.
Something that takes grit without scratching through a surface layer. Tile and stone both earn their place there.
Sometimes. Ranges change, so we will be straight about how close a match is realistic.
Yes. Stairs take the heaviest wear in a hotel and they are their own job.
Mostly through what goes under the floor. It is worth specifying properly rather than upgrading the carpet and hoping.
Where the hotel needs it, yes. Tell us at the survey so it is priced that way.
