Flooring Installation
Flooring Installation in Memphis, TN
A new floor is only as flat and quiet as what is under it. We take the old flooring out, look at the subfloor while it is exposed, and deal with what we find before a single plank goes down.
Why the subfloor comes first
Plank flooring telegraphs whatever it sits on. High spots make it rock, debris makes it click, and a soft area gets worse over time. Once the old floor is out, the room is swept down to the plywood and checked, because this is the only point in the job when anyone can see it.
What the install involves
Rows are laid out so the room reads straight from the doorway, with end joints staggered rather than lined up. Baseboards go back after the flooring is in, covering the expansion gap at the walls and leaving a clean line around the room.
Painting and flooring together
If the walls need paint too, doing it before the floor goes down means no paint on your new surface and no tape along the edge of it.

Flooring Installation: common questions
Do you remove the old flooring?
Yes. Tear-out and subfloor cleanup are part of how we do the job, and we will include them in your estimate.
Can you paint the room at the same time?
Yes, and it is usually the better way to do it. The bedroom in our project gallery was painted while the floor was still open.
