Measuring for installation
- Measurements will take approximately 5-25 minutes depending on the scope of your project. We use laser distance measurers so we only need access to walls to get accurate distances.
- At this time we can answer any questions you may have, as well as make suggestions to what types of flooring would be suitable for each specific area.
- Now that we have measured, the estimator will turn the measurements in to the sales team where an estimate for your project will be created.
- If you have not already, now would be good time to stop in to one of our two locations to pick out some materials to be added to your estimate.
- If you have already picked out materials, the sales team will contact you with your estimate as well as email it to you for your approval.
- Upon your approval of the estimate you will need to come in and put a down payment on your project so that we can get any special-order materials on the way.

What to know:
APPLIES TO ALL
WOOD & LAMINATE
TILE
VINYL
CARPET
- Doors may need trimmed after new flooring is installed
- Unforeseen issues discovered once installation begins may require additional labor and materials
- Most flooring requires a clean smooth subfloor that is flat to within 3/16 of deviation from flat over 10: Additional labor and material may be needed to achieve this requirement.
WOOD & LAMINATE
- Concrete subfloors and crawl spaces require a moisture/vapor barrier.
- New flooring will need to acclimate prior to installation.
- An expansion gap is required at the perimeter of the room and will need covered by the existing or new base.
TILE
- Tile patterns and large format tile require extra material as well as extra labor.
- Different types of tile and where they are installed require different sealing and grouting options.
VINYL
- We may be able to install new vinyl products over existing sheet vinyl.
- New vinyl may require an underlayment, either liquid or luan.
- Seams are not invisible, vinyl flooring is available in 6' 12' 13'2" widths as well as floating and glued down plank.
CARPET
- Tack strips are normally reused if they are in good condition.
- We reserve the right to refuse the removal of heavily soiled carpet.
- Seams may be visible based on location, lighting, and type of carpet chosen. Choosing 12' or 15' wide carpet can directly affect the placement of the seams.
