How Our Process Works

One Local Team Managing Every Step

From jobsite evaluation through the final walkthrough, our project management and installation teams coordinate the details that help your flooring perform properly.

1

Project Planning

After you choose your flooring, we collect the project details and connect you with a dedicated project manager.

Jobsite Evaluation

Your project manager reviews the property type, visits the jobsite, checks floor flatness and takes moisture readings when applicable.

3

Installation Plan

We select the installation and preparation method based on the flooring, subfloor construction and conditions found in the home.

4

Installation & Walkthrough

Our crew completes the installation, removes larger jobsite debris and reviews the completed work with you.

We work with multiple hardwood and engineered flooring systems and select the method that is appropriate for your product, subfloor and home.

We Look Beyond the Flooring

Before the appointment, your project manager reviews available information about the age and construction of the property. This may include whether the project is in a single-family home, high-rise building or slab-on-grade property.

Understanding the construction type helps us anticipate likely subfloor conditions before arriving at the jobsite. During the appointment, we check the subfloor for flatness and take moisture-content readings of hardwood or wood subfloors when applicable.
