How to prepare for your new flooring installation
A little organization will make your new flooring installation go as smoothly as possible, and the result will be a floor that always looks and performs well for a long time. Our goal is to make the entire process easy for you from the beginning to the actual floor laying. At our flooring stores in Lutz and Zephyrhills, FL., we have a team of certified installers who provide the highest quality craftsman-like installations. Here are some tips on creating an installation that runs as smoothly and as quickly as possible.
Preparation is vital
Make sure you know exactly what the estimate covers. We will tell you about subfloor inspection and restoration, how long it will take, how much dust and odor will occur, etc. If you have pets, plan for their safety because doors will be open, workers will be walking in and out, and there will be nails, tools, and debris around to fascinate curious animals.
Also, decide where you will store furniture while the installation takes place. If it’s only one room, it’s just a matter of moving items to another space. If, however, you’re planning on installing a new floor in more than one room, you may have to rent a storage pod or other area.

Finally, we will tell you if the new flooring will create a height variation. If so, doors, moldings, and baseboards may need to be readjusted. If the installation is to be in the kitchen, we make sure cabinet doors have proper clearance and keep in mind that appliances are always attached to the subfloor. If the surface floor is too high, appliances could be trapped; if they need replacement, the floor might need to be taken up in that area.
Be sure it’s done by a professional
When you hire a professional and not “the guy down the street,” you’re protecting both your investment and your warranty protections. Most manufacturers have instructions on installing; for instance, many now insist on using a power stretcher for a carpet installation. If not followed, protections can be voided; this is why we offer our customers excellent flooring installation services.
