Flooring Tools

Tackle all your flooring jobs with flooring tools and supplies from The Home Depot. Shop online or in store for essential tools for both professional and DIY flooring installers. Whether you’re installing carpet, vinyl, laminate, tile or hardwood flooring, we have what you need to get the job done.

Tile Flooring Projects

The first step in just about any tile flooring project is preparing the surface. Prepping your space for new tile might require a floor scraper to remove the old flooring and any resulting debris. That way, the subfloor or old flooring surface is clean, flat and smooth. You might also need grout remover tools to get rid of unwanted grout or thinset and make way for your new tile floors.

For professional-looking flooring installation, you’ll need good, clean cuts. Beginners might consider purchasing a tile cutter. It’s compact and portable for quick, smooth cuts. The multi-purpose cutter can be used for ceramic, porcelain and mosaic tile. For larger jobs that require thicker cuts, a wet tile saw may be the way to go. Wet tile saws, with their powerful motors, can power through big jobs, like cutting marble, stone and pavers.

We are your one-stop-shop for tile tools and supplies. While you’re picking up the grout, trowels and tile cutters, don’t forget the little things, like tile spacers. They help to align, space and hold the tile in place so your tile installation projects look neater. Create smooth transitions between tile and other flooring surfaces with tile edge trim. The trim gives your project a finished look and protects your tile from chipping. These might seem like little things, but they make a huge impact on the finished product and help your DIY install projects look more professional.

Vinyl & Laminate Flooring Jobs

Affordability, durability and ease of installation make laminate and vinyl flooring great options for DIYers. Make sure you have what you need to complete the job, including a vinyl flooring cutter, for smooth, precise cuts. They’re designed to quickly cut laminate flooring, engineered wood, vinyl siding, roofing and more. Vinyl flooring cutters can save you time, as well. They can be used wherever you’re working without worrying about dust, noise or the need for electricity.

The convenience of click-lock makes installing vinyl and laminate flooring simple. Some compare this feature to putting together a puzzle. And with other easy-to-install options – including peel-and-stick flooring – there are plenty of ways to update your floors yourself.

Carpet Projects

Most leave the carpet installation to the Pros. But, if you are taking on the job of installing your own carpet, we have all the tools you need. That includes carpet tack strips to securely hold the carpet in place. You should have something to cut the carpet with. That means a good carpet knife or carpet cutter to quickly trim carpet neatly along the wall and under toe kicks. You’ll also need carpet stretchers and knee kickers, for stretching carpet into small spaces and tightening loose carpet.

If you need help installing your carpet, we can help. The Home Depot offers professional carpet installation. The process begins with an accurate, professional measurement of your space, followed by professional installation, sometimes in as little as 5 to 7 days. Plus, you get peace of mind knowing our flooring installation professionals and contractors are local, licensed, insured, and undergo a thorough background-screening process.
