We’ll take you through a comprehensive walkthrough of what you can expect during your flooring installation process.
1. Initial Consultation and Estimate
Before we get started on any project, we begin with an initial consultation. This is the first step in the process and one of the most important. During this visit, our flooring experts will meet with you to understand your vision, preferences, and requirements. Whether you’re installing hardwood, vinyl, laminate, or another type of flooring, this is the time for us to assess your space, measure accurately, and provide a detailed estimate.
What happens here:

- We assess your space and take measurements.
- We offer personalized recommendations based on your budget and style preferences.
- We provide a clear, detailed estimate, outlining costs for labor and materials.
By the end of this consultation, you’ll have a solid idea of your flooring choices and the associated costs, with no surprises down the road.
2. Scheduling the Installation
Once you’ve approved the estimate and selected your flooring, it’s time to schedule the installation. Our team will work with your schedule to pick the best date and time for your installation, ensuring minimal disruption to your daily routine.

3. Preparing Your Home for Installation
Before the installers arrive, there are a few things you’ll need to do to prepare your home. This ensures a smoother process and allows us to begin working immediately. Our team will provide clear instructions on how to prepare for the day of installation.
What you need to do:
- Clear the area: Move furniture, rugs, and other items out of the installation area.
- Prepare for dust and debris: While we take great care to keep things tidy, flooring installations can create some dust and debris. We recommend covering any items that may need protection.
- Ensure access: Make sure the installation area is accessible and safe for our team to work in.
We’ll help you with any questions about the preparation, and if you need assistance with moving furniture, we can discuss options to make this easier for you.
4. The Installation Day
On installation day, our experienced team of professionals will arrive on time and fully prepared to begin the work. We’ll bring all necessary tools and materials, including your chosen flooring, and begin the installation process. Depending on the size of your project, installation can take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days. We pride ourselves on working efficiently while ensuring quality results.
What happens here:
- Our team will begin by preparing the subfloor, ensuring it is smooth, level, and clean.
- If needed, we’ll install a moisture barrier or underlayment to protect the new flooring.
- The flooring is carefully laid out, cut to fit your space, and securely installed.
- Once the flooring is down, we’ll ensure it’s clean, and we’ll make any final adjustments.
Our goal is to install your new flooring with minimal disruption and a focus on precision and quality. Throughout the process, we’ll keep you informed of our progress and make sure everything is up to your standards.
