What to Expect During Flooring Prep

We handle the heavy lifting so your new flooring project remains simply stress-free. First, our team uses high-precision tools to inspect your subfloor for leveling issues, which is critical for long-term flooring durability. Any subfloor repairs will need to be completed before installation can begin and proper subfloor prep will help inform the best flooring installation method.

The existing floors in your home may not allow for floating floors to be installed on top of them. If we are removing your old floors, we use specialized dust-containment strategies to keep your home's air quality clean and your living space organized. Save time and stress by letting the professionals handle this flooring prep step!

Our lead installer brings clear communication and will provide updates throughout the flooring prep process, staying true to our core value of teamwork.
