Flooring Built for How You Live

Residential flooring services in Eagle River, Wisconsin and surrounding areas designed for homes, cabins, and rental properties.

Your home in Eagle River, Rhinelander, Minocqua, or a surrounding area sees wet boots from snowmelt, sand tracked in from summer lake trips, and furniture moved across rooms more often than you planned. Flooring takes all of that without complaint, but eventually it shows wear in the seams, loosens at the edges, or loses the color it had when you first moved in.


Richard Wilson Carpets provides complete residential flooring services throughout Eagle River, including installation of carpet, hardwood, vinyl, and luxury vinyl flooring. The work includes removal of outdated or damaged flooring, repair of worn or loose areas, and replacement options that match how you use each room. Whether you need one bedroom updated or every floor in the house replaced, the approach stays focused on comfort, durability, and long-term value with clear project timelines and straightforward recommendations.


If your floors need attention or you are ready to start a replacement project in Eagle River or a neighboring community, contact Richard Wilson Carpets to discuss your home.

What the Work Involves and What It Covers

The process starts with an assessment of your current flooring and the condition of the subfloor underneath. In Eagle River area homes, moisture from basements or crawl spaces can affect what materials work best, so that gets checked early. Once the material is selected, old flooring is removed carefully to avoid damaging trim or doorways, and the subfloor is leveled or repaired as needed before new flooring goes down.


After installation, you will notice tighter seams, even transitions between rooms, and a floor that feels stable underfoot. Carpet adds warmth and cuts down on echo in open layouts, while vinyl and luxury vinyl hold up well in kitchens and entryways where water and dirt are held. Hardwood brings a clean, lasting finish to living areas and bedrooms.


The service also includes repair work for floors that are still structurally sound but need attention in specific areas. Loose boards, torn carpet, or cracked vinyl can often be fixed without replacing the entire floor. Projects are planned around your schedule, and the space is left clean and ready to use once the work is complete.

Questions That Come Up Before Starting a Flooring Project

Homeowners in Eagle River  and the surrounding area often ask similar questions when they are planning a flooring project, especially if it has been years since the last update or if they are working with a cabin or rental property.

What type of flooring works best in a lake cabin?
Vinyl and luxury vinyl flooring handle moisture and temperature swings better than carpet or hardwood, making them a practical choice for cabins that are not heated year-round. They are also easy to clean after weekends of heavy use.
How long does it take to replace flooring in one room?
Most single-room projects take one to two days, depending on the material and whether the subfloor needs repair. Carpet installs tend to move faster than hardwood or luxury vinyl that requires precise cutting and layout.
What happens to the old flooring?
Old flooring is removed and hauled away as part of the project. You do not need to arrange disposal, and the space is cleared before new material goes down.
Why does the subfloor matter?
An uneven or damaged subfloor will cause new flooring to buckle, creak, or wear unevenly. Checking and preparing the subfloor before installation ensures the new floor performs the way it should for years.
When should I repair instead of replace?
If the damage is limited to one area and the rest of the floor is still in good shape, repair is usually the better option. Loose carpet, small sections of cracked vinyl, or a few damaged hardwood boards can often be fixed without redoing the whole room.
