  • How long does flooring installation usually take?

    Timing depends on factors such as size of the space, condition of the subfloor, type of flooring chosen and whether furniture/move‑out is required. During your consultation we’ll provide an estimated schedule specific to your project.

  • What preparations should I make before installation begins?

    To help your project go smoothly:


    Clear furniture and personal items from the workspace if requested.

    Ensure the space is accessible and safe for our team.

    If there is any preexisting flooring to be removed, discuss ahead of time so we can plan accordingly.

    Make sure the HVAC is running so temperature and humidity are in normal living‑condition ranges (especially important for certain flooring types).


  • What maintenance is required for luxury vinyl planks, tile & carpet tile?

    Luxury vinyl plank: Regular sweeping or vacuuming to remove grit, damp mop with manufacturer‑approved cleaner, avoid steam mops unless approved.

    Ceramic or tile: Clean regularly, reseal grout as needed, avoid harsh chemical cleaners.

    Carpet tile: Vacuum frequently, spot clean spills quickly, rotate tiles if pattern allows to distribute wear.

  • What should I look out for in a subfloor or existing flooring condition?

    A well‑prepared subfloor is vital for longevity. Common issues include moisture intrusion, uneven surfaces, or prior flooring removal residue. Poor preparation can lead to problems like warping, gaps or premature wear.

  • Can you help me choose the best flooring material for my space?

    Absolutely. We’ll review your space, traffic patterns, lifestyle (kids, pets, rentals), aesthetic preferences and budget. From luxury vinyl to tile, carpet tile to custom fireplace surrounds, we’ll make recommendations that balance beauty and performance.
