Flooring specialists only
Pisos Pro Medellín is a flooring company based in El Poblado that works on floors and nothing else. We install, repair and prepare the base across 24 flooring and floor-preparation services, from SPC and laminate to solid hardwood, porcelain tile and microcement.
We work for families in apartments and houses, building management offices (administraciones), offices, retail stores, medical practices and gyms across the Aburrá Valley and Eastern Antioquia. Every job starts with a site visit, measurements and a moisture test of the subfloor (contrapiso).
We have more than 15 years in the trade and over 900 completed jobs, backed by a written 1-year warranty on labor. That experience shows in what you cannot see: leveling, expansion gaps and handling Medellín's humidity.
We are not a remodeling company that also lays floors. Our crews only do flooring, so they know the details that separate an installation that lasts from one that lifts in the second rainy season.
We group our services by material family, because that is how most clients find us: looking for SPC, microcement or wood.
Wood brings warmth, good sound insulation and resale value, which matters a lot in upscale apartments in the city's top socioeconomic tiers (estratos 5 and 6).
We install solid hardwood flooring, engineered hardwood, herringbone and parquet, bamboo flooring and cork flooring.
SPC is the most requested material in Medellín: its stone-polymer core does not swell with water, and it goes over your existing tile in 2 to 4 days.
We compare and install laminate flooring, SPC flooring, WPC flooring and click or glue-down vinyl flooring, depending on the space and your budget.
These are the longest-lasting floors for kitchens, bathrooms, terraces and building common areas.
We handle porcelain and ceramic tile installation, natural stone and marble floors and terrazzo, which almost everyone in Colombia calls granito, either poured in place or restored.
Joint-free surfaces for modern homes, stores, medical practices and warehouses.
We apply microcement over tile or concrete, self-leveling or roller-applied epoxy flooring, new concrete floors and polished concrete ground with diamond discs.
These are specialty jobs where impact absorption, noise and safe footing decide the result.
We install rubber flooring, roll or modular carpet, sports and gym flooring, stairs and railings, and electric radiant floor heating for the colder climate of Eastern Antioquia.
A large share of our work is saving the floor you already have or correcting the base before installing. An uneven or damp subfloor ruins any material, however expensive it is.
We offer hardwood floor refinishing with sanders connected to dust extraction and a fresh lacquer finish, plus laminate and SPC repair for planks that have lifted, swollen with water or opened at the joints.
We also handle floor and subfloor repair, replacing hollow tiles, sealing cracks and leveling with self-leveling compound. On ground floors and slabs poured on soil, we install a moisture barrier.
This table sums up what we recommend most often during site visits. The final choice depends on measured moisture, foot traffic, pets and budget.
| Room | Recommended floor | Alternative | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Living and dining room | Engineered hardwood or SPC | AC4 laminate | Warm and stable; SPC also handles spills |
| Bedrooms | AC4 laminate or wood | Cork or modular carpet | Comfortable underfoot and less noise for the neighbor below |
| Kitchen | Porcelain tile | SPC with a sealed perimeter | Resist water, grease and dropped pots |
| Bathroom | Slip-resistant porcelain tile | Microcement with sealer | Permanently wet area; laminate does not work here |
| Terrace or balcony | Slip-resistant outdoor porcelain | Textured natural stone | Rain and direct sun; needs texture and a slope toward the drain |
| Office | Modular carpet or SPC | Glue-down vinyl (LVT) | Rolling chairs, acoustic control and replacement piece by piece |
| Retail store | High-traffic porcelain tile | Epoxy or polished concrete | Heavy traffic, daily cleaning and water tracked in from the street |
| Gym | Rubber tiles or rolls | Synthetic sports flooring | Absorbs the impact of weights and protects the slab |
We publish price ranges because cost is the first question almost every client asks. These are 2026 reference prices per m² in Medellín, in Colombian pesos (COP), the currency all our quotes are written in.
The final price is set at the visit and depends on leveling, removing the old floor (COP $12,000 to $25,000 per m² for ceramic tile), baseboards, cuts and building access. Our 2026 price guide, under the Guides menu, covers every material.
| Material | Material per m² | Labor per m² | Total installed per m² |
|---|---|---|---|
| AC4/AC5 laminate, 8 to 12 mm | $45,000 to $95,000 | $16,000 to $26,000 | $65,000 to $120,000 |
| SPC, 4 to 6.5 mm | $65,000 to $140,000 | $18,000 to $28,000 | $85,000 to $170,000 |
| Engineered hardwood | $140,000 to $320,000 | $40,000 to $65,000 | $180,000 to $380,000 |
| Porcelain and ceramic tile | $40,000 to $180,000 | $35,000 to $60,000 | $80,000 to $260,000 |
| Microcement (complete system) | Included in the system | Included in the system | $140,000 to $260,000 |
The visit is free in the Aburrá Valley and nearby Eastern Antioquia, usually within 24 to 72 hours. We measure the real square meters, check levels with a 2-meter straightedge and tap the tiles to find hollow pieces.
We check the slab with a moisture meter before proposing wood, laminate or glue-down vinyl. In newly handed-over unfinished apartments (obra gris, delivered as bare concrete) or on ground floors, that reading decides whether a barrier is needed.
Within 24 to 48 hours you receive an itemized quote in Colombian pesos: materials, labor, baseboards, trims and debris removal, with no surprise charges halfway through the job.
We protect furniture and common areas, level where needed and let wood or laminate acclimate on site. We agree on elevator use and noisy-work hours with building management (administración).
We follow the manufacturer's technical data sheet: expansion joints, the right adhesive or mortar for each material, clean cuts at door frames and transition profiles between rooms.
We remove debris, clean up and walk the floor with you. We both sign the handover record (acta de entrega), which starts the warranty, and we leave you written care instructions.
The warranty runs from the date of the handover record and covers failures caused by the installation: planks that lift, joints that open, tiles that sound hollow from poor adhesion and uneven spots we left behind.
It does not cover water damage or flooding, unreported subfloor moisture, leaks from the building, impacts or misuse, structural settlement, or factory defects, which are the manufacturer's responsibility.
To file a claim, just send us photos. If our assessment confirms an installation fault, we fix it at no cost.
Medellín has two rainy seasons a year, roughly March to May and September to November, and many obra gris subfloors are handed over before they have fully dried.
That is why we measure before installing and, when needed, apply a moisture barrier with a membrane or epoxy sealer.
In older houses in Laureles, Belén and Envigado, termites attack untreated wooden baseboards, door frames and floors.
Before installing wood we inspect the surrounding elements, and once a pest control company has dealt with the problem, we replace damaged boards as part of a hardwood floor restoration.
Colombia's seismic building code (NSR-10) places Medellín in an intermediate seismic hazard zone, and after a tremor it is common to find loose tiles or cracks running in a straight line.
With porcelain tile we apply adhesive to both the slab and the tile (double buttering) and respect movement joints. Before we repair floors and subfloors after a quake, we first rule out structural damage.
We head out from our office at Tv. 6 #45-115, El Poblado, to the whole Aburrá Valley and Eastern Antioquia (Oriente antioqueño).
Each area has its own challenge: hillside towers with strict building rules in El Poblado, older terrazzo in Laureles, obra gris apartments in Envigado and Sabaneta, and colder, damper conditions in Llanogrande.
These are the jobs that come up most often in our schedule, described as typical scopes rather than named client cases. The photo is representative of a finished result.
Yes. The site visit is free in the Aburrá Valley and nearby Eastern Antioquia, and we schedule it within 24 to 72 hours.
We measure the actual square meters, the subfloor level, moisture and the condition of the existing tile. Then we send your written quote within 24 to 48 hours.
In most cases you must notify the building and ask for approval. Under Colombia's condominium law (propiedad horizontal, Ley 675 de 2001), each building follows its own bylaws, which usually set work hours, elevator use and debris handling.
Replacing a floor without touching the structure counts as a minor repair (reparación locativa) and normally does not require a construction permit (licencia de construcción).
In many cases, yes: SPC, laminate, click vinyl and microcement can go over firm, flat ceramic tile without demolition.
First we tap every tile to find hollow ones, which are removed and filled. We also check that unevenness stays under about 3 mm over 2 meters, or whatever the manufacturer requires.
For 60 to 80 m², rigid floors (laminate, SPC and vinyl) take 2 to 4 days, engineered hardwood 3 to 5 and porcelain tile 5 to 8.
Microcement needs 6 to 9 days because of drying time between coats, and solid hardwood with sanding and lacquering takes 8 to 12.
We do. When we lift an old floor, removal is included in the quote: we bag the debris, take it down by elevator or along the route building management specifies, and haul it to an authorized disposal site.
That way you avoid fines from your building and piles of rubble in the parking garage.
Tell us which space you want to change, the approximate square meters and your neighborhood, and we will schedule the measuring visit. We are available Monday to Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Our office is at Tv. 6 #45-115, El Poblado, Medellín, and you can also email us at info@pisosmedellin.com.
