Every successful flooring installation project starts with making accurate measurements. Long before we break ground, we’ll visit your home to evaluate the space, take detailed measurements, and assess the current condition of your subfloor.
We also use this time to confirm scheduling and product availability, and give you plenty of opportunities to ask us questions and get recommendations for how to best achieve your flooring goals.
Your flooring selection will inevitably have a huge effect on how your installation unfolds. Whether you’re considering hardwood, carpet, laminate, tile, or luxury vinyl, each material has its own unique installation process and timeline.
We’ll help you choose a flooring product that checks all the boxes, fits your lifestyle, design preferences, and maintenance expectations. We also offer detailed 3D renderings so you can accurately visualize what the finished product will look like so that you can make adjustments before anything is set in stone.
Before installation day, a bit of preparation can go a long way. You’ll want to remove all your furniture, décor, and personal items from the installation area to guarantee that nothing gets in the way. In some cases, we may even need to remove your existing flooring ahead of time.
Regardless of the specific preparations your home requires, we’ll always guide you through what we handle and what you should take care of beforehand. That way, when installation day arrives, everything will be ready to go.
No two projects are exactly the same, which means that your flooring installation timeline can vary widely depending on a variety of different variables. Everything from the type of flooring you choose and the condition of your subfloor to the size and layout of your space can make a huge difference in how long your flooring installation project might take.
Different flooring materials often come along with vastly different requirements. Carpet installations, for example, are often pretty easy to complete within a single day, making them one of the quickest options.
Luxury vinyl and laminate typically take a few days, depending on the size of the work area, and hardwood flooring installations take even more time, especially when sanding and finishing are involved. Hardwood also needs to acclimate to the conditions inside your home for a few days before we can install it properly, which can extend the timeline as well.
Lastly, tile installation projects also tend to require multiple days to install due to setting and grout curing times.
One of the most important steps in every flooring installation project is subfloor preparation. Before we can install any new flooring, the surface beneath it needs to be clean, level, and structurally sound. Otherwise, it can lead to major longevity and performance issues down the road.
We inspect for moisture issues, uneven areas, and any other damage that could affect performance, as addressing these concerns upfront makes all the difference in making sure your new floors look their best and last for years to come.
On installation day, our team will arrive with your materials and a clear plan. We’ll begin by laying out the flooring and ensuring that each is carefully cut and fitted to match the dimensions of your space.
Throughout the process, we’ll keep the work area organized and focused on precision, so that once we’re ready to start, your installation will go as quickly, efficiently, and smoothly as possible.
Flooring installation doesn’t come without some temporary disruptions. You’re going to hear noises from the tools we use and the movement of materials. There’s also a pretty good chance that there will be a lot more dust being shuffled around than you’re used to.
We always take steps to keep your home as clean and contained as can be, but we think it's important to share this information so that you are able to set realistic expectations upfront. This way, you can prepare and adjust your routine accordingly.
Once we finish your installation, we’ll walk through the space with you to review the results. This gives you a chance to ask questions and make sure everything meets your highest expectations.
After installation, proper care is essential to protecting your investment. Some flooring materials are ready to go immediately, but others often require a short curing period before you are able to walk on them.
Regardless of the specifics, we’ll provide you with expert guidance on cleaning methods and early care so your floors stay in peak condition for long into the future.
