The owner laysthe floor himself

Expert Parket og Mál ehf. lays parquet, sands floors and paints across Iceland, always with the same craftsman on the job from the first visit to handover.

The company is run by one owner who does the parquet and painting work himself. The man who answers the phone on 785 7079 is the same one who arrives with the machines, lays the floor and finishes the job.

A working day starts at eight. The sander is hooked to a dust extractor so the dust ends up in the machine, not in your cupboards, lacquer goes on in three coats and each coat gets time to dry. An eighty square metre apartment usually takes two to four days.

The jobs are spread across the region: a living room floor in Kópavogur, a stairwell in Hafnarfjörður, new oak parquet in Garðabær. The quote is written, the figure stands and the space is cleaned before the keys are handed back.

Values

01Fixed priceThe quote is written and the figure on the paper is what you pay. If something unexpected turns up under the old flooring, it is discussed and agreed before work continues.
02Clean siteThe work area is swept and vacuumed at the end of every day, not just when the job is done. Offcuts and packaging go in the trailer, not in your bin.
03Insured workThe company carries liability insurance. If a fault traceable to our work appears, it is fixed at our cost, without a long discussion.
04PunctualityThe agreed date holds and the day starts at eight. If a previous job runs over, you get a phone call in good time, not an empty hallway.

Repeat customersA large share of new jobs comes from earlier customers and their neighbours, often in the same stairwell or the same street.

Questions and answers

The price depends on the square metres, the type of parquet and the condition of the subfloor, so no single price per square metre tells the whole story. We come out, measure and give you a free written quote including VAT before the work begins. The figure in the quote holds.

Yes, in most cases. Solid wood and thick engineered parquet can usually be sanded down, scratches repaired and the floor lacquered again for far less than a new installation. We measure the wear layer during the visit and tell you straight whether sanding is worth it.

A typical apartment takes two to four days, partly because the lacquer has to dry between coats. You can live in the flat if the work area is sectioned off, but for the first days it is best to walk on the fresh floors as little as possible while the lacquer hardens.

Good parquet in a home usually only needs a full sanding every 10 to 20 years, depending on traffic and the type of lacquer. In between, a light fresh coat revives the floor and extends its life without sanding into the wood.

We handle filling, sanding, priming, masking and protecting floors and fittings. It helps if loose items and pictures come off the walls, but we take care of the rest and hand the space back clean.

Solid wood and engineered parquet give a natural surface and can be sanded again and again. Laminate costs less and copes well with heavy traffic and moisture. We go through the options with you based on the room, the traffic and the budget before you choose.

Yes. The visit and the quote cost nothing and commit you to nothing. If a fault traceable to our work appears within two years of completion, we fix it at no cost to you, on top of your rights under the Service Purchases Act. Our terms spell it out.
