Flooring Installation in Bolingbrook

Get a Bolingbrook floor that stays put on a concrete slab, because we test the slab for moisture before a single plank goes down.

Bolingbrook flooring installation, on wood or concrete

Luxury vinyl plank and tile cover most of our flooring work, and we also install laminate and engineered hardwood. Whatever you pick, the manufacturer sets a flatness tolerance, and a subfloor straight out of the box rarely meets it. Our crew checks every room and levels the low spots, patches gaps and sands down the high ones before installation. We move the furniture and appliances, put them back, and reconnect what we unhooked.

We work in Bolingbrook every week, getting around on I-55, Route 53, Boughton Road, Weber Road and Veterans Parkway. If your Bolingbrook house has a lower level or basement on a concrete slab, the slab gets a moisture test before we quote a floor for it. A floating floor over a damp slab fails from below: the planks cup, the underlayment holds water, and a musty smell follows. When the reading is high, we tell you what that means for your choice of floor and whether a vapor barrier underlayment or a different product makes sense. Where the readings are fine, we still flatten the slab, since concrete has its own humps and cracks.

Flooring Installation by ONIT Solutions

What a Bolingbrook floor install covers

Slab moisture testing

We test concrete before we price a floor for it and show you the readings.

Vapor barrier underlayment

Where the slab calls for it, a vapor barrier goes down under the floating floor.

Concrete grinding and patching

High spots get ground and cracks and low spots get filled so the slab meets the flatness spec.

Upstairs subfloor prep

On wood subfloors we screw down squeaks, sand seams and patch gaps before installation.

Furniture and appliance moves

We move furniture, pull appliances and reconnect them once the floor is in.

Trim at the stairs and walls

Base, shoe and transitions finish the edges, including where the lower level meets the stairs.

How a Bolingbrook floor job runs

We start with a free visit, and on a slab that visit includes the moisture test. You get a written estimate with prep, product and trim broken out, along with what the test showed. If we find something once the old floor is up, like a crack that needs more than a patch, you get a written price and decide before we go on. We hold the dates we gave you and finish with a walkthrough on the new floor.

  • Moisture test on every slab
  • Readings shared before you choose a floor
  • Concrete flattened before install
  • Wood subfloors screwed and sanded
  • Appliances reconnected after the floor
  • Written estimate with prep on its own line
FAQ

Flooring Installation in Bolingbrook: questions

Can I put vinyl plank in my Bolingbrook basement?
Often, yes, but only after a moisture test. If the slab reads dry, plank over a proper underlayment works well. If it reads high, we talk through a vapor barrier or a different floor before you buy anything.
How long does it take to put a floor in a lower level?
Once the slab is tested and flat, a lower level of plank usually takes one to three days. Grinding and patching add time, and we list the days in the estimate.
Do I need a permit for basement flooring in Bolingbrook?
A new floor on its own usually does not. If the floor is part of a larger lower-level finish that the village of Bolingbrook requires a permit for, we pull it and schedule the inspections.
Do you install floors outside Bolingbrook?
Yes. We also install floors in Romeoville, Woodridge, Lemont and Darien.
How do I get an estimate?
