What Flooring Installation Involves
Most flooring problems start underneath the flooring. This is what we check and prepare before a single board goes down.
Subfloor Assessment
Checking for flatness, moisture and movement before anything is laid, since most flooring failures begin underneath it.
Removal and Disposal
Taking up the old carpet, tile or laminate, and getting it out of the house and off site rather than left in the yard.
Material and Layout
Which material suits each room, and which direction the boards or tile should run for the layout to read cleanly across doorways.
Levelling and Underlayment
Prepping the substrate and underlayment so the new floor has a stable base, with the right moisture and acoustic barrier beneath it.
Installation and Transitions
Fitting the floor, then the thresholds, stair nosings and the joins where one surface meets another.
Trim and Finishing
Baseboards, shoe moulding and door trimming refitted or replaced, since new flooring changes the height at every wall.
