Confirming the Details of your Flooring Installation

In the days leading up to your install, you’ll hear from our team to:

• Confirm the installation date and time
• Review your flooring selection
• Answer any remaining questions about prep or scheduling

We’ll also confirm who will be home during the installation and if any pets need to be secured.

Preparing the Space for Flooring Installation

To help our installers work efficiently:

• Remove small furniture, electronics, and valuables
• Unplug and move lamps, cords, and décor
• Clear out closets or under beds in affected rooms

Pro Tip: If we’re moving larger furniture for you, make sure breakables are packed or stored.

Arrival and Setup

Our flooring crew will:

• Arrive promptly with your materials
• Place drop cloths and take precautions to protect your home
• Do a walkthrough to confirm the layout, pattern, and any final details

If there are unforeseen subfloor issues or room adjustments, we’ll let you know before proceeding.

Removing Old Flooring

Depending on the type of existing floor, we may:

• Use specialized tools to lift carpet, tile, laminate, or vinyl
• Dispose of materials (if arranged in advance)
• Minimize dust and mess with vacuums and dust barriers

We’re careful and considerate every step of the way.

Subfloor Prep

This is a critical step. Before we install anything new, we’ll:

• Check for dips, cracks, or moisture problems
• Sand, patch, or level the subfloor as needed

A smooth subfloor ensures your new flooring looks and performs its best for years to come.

Installing Your New Floor

Every flooring type has a different installation method:

• Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP): Either click-lock or glue-down, depending on the product (Explore recent LVP installations)
• Laminate: Typically floating installation with moisture barrier (See recent laminate installations)
• Carpet: Stretched and secured over padding (Check out recent carpet installations)
• Tile: Laid with mortar, grouted after drying (View recent tile jobs)
• Hardwood: Nailed or glued based on subfloor (Browse our latest hardwood jobs)

Our team follows manufacturer-recommended guidelines and best practices for durability.

What You Can Do to Help the Installation Process

• Keep pets and children away from the work area
• Ask questions—we’re here to help
• Let us know about any last-minute needs before installation begins

Expect some noise, foot traffic, and dust—but also expect professionalism, punctuality, and precision.

Enjoying Your New Floors

Your new floors will settle over the next 24–72 hours. During that time:

• Avoid wet mopping or dragging furniture
• Keep foot traffic to a minimum on newly installed carpet or glued surfaces

We’ll provide detailed aftercare based on your specific flooring. (Visit our FAQ page)
