Get an Aurora floor that does not squeak or bounce, with the subfloor screwed down and flattened before the new plank or tile goes in.
Luxury vinyl plank and tile are what most people ask us for, and we also lay laminate and engineered hardwood. A new floor only performs if the surface below meets the flatness number in the install guide, so we test it and correct it before we start. Correcting it can mean grinding a seam, filling a low area with patch or self-leveler, or sanding a ridge. Base, shoe and transitions finish the job.
We cover Aurora on both sides of the Fox River, across Kane, DuPage, Will and Kendall counties, and we get around on I-88, Route 59, Orchard Road and Eola Road. Where an older Aurora house has a board subfloor under the carpet, the boards can cup, gap and squeak as they move. A thin plank laid on that shows every ridge and clicks with every step, so we screw the boards down and add a layer of plywood where they will not flatten. If your house has a newer panel subfloor, we still set screws through the noisy spots before the floor goes in, because a squeak gets louder under hard flooring, not quieter.
We walk every room and mark where the floor talks, then screw those spots down to the joists.
Where an old board subfloor will not lie flat, a new plywood layer goes over it.
Low areas get filled with patch or self-leveler until they meet the product's spec.
High seams get sanded down so they do not show through the new floor.
We install the floor you pick, with tile set in baths, entries and laundry rooms.
Base, shoe and transitions installed and caulked at the wall.
The estimate is free and on site, and once a carpet corner is pulled back we can see what kind of subfloor you have. You get a written price with the prep and the floor as separate lines, so you know what the squeak and flatness work costs. If the old floor comes up and the boards are worse than they looked, we show you and write up the extra before doing it. Install days are set with you, and we finish with a walk across every room to listen for anything we missed.
Mark the spots that squeak, then call or text (815) 585-1750. We will find the rest on a free visit and price the fix in writing.
