Parquet and timber flooring covers solid wood strips, engineered wood planks, and parquet block patterns like herringbone or basket weave, laid over concrete slabs or existing tiles. In Petaling Jaya's climate, this is a job that goes wrong quickly if the contractor skips the basics: moisture testing the sub-floor, letting the timber acclimatise on site for a few days, and choosing the right underlayment or adhesive for the base you actually have. We've listed 12 businesses in this category that install, sand, and refinish parquet and timber floors across PJ, from older terrace houses with existing parquet blocks to new condo units getting engineered wood laid for the first time.
What to look for before you hire
Ask any installer how they handle moisture readings on a concrete slab, since PJ's humidity and older buildings with rising damp are a common cause of cupping and gaps months after installation. Check whether they work with a specific timber species or supplier, or whether they'll source and fit whatever brand you bring in. Get a clear breakdown of labour versus material cost, and ask about the warranty on both the installation and the finish (sanding and coating separately from the boards themselves).
How we score these businesses
Our ranking weighs things like documented experience with parquet versus engineered wood, how clearly a business explains its process and pricing, responsiveness to enquiries, and patterns in what past customers say about finish quality and follow-up after installation.
