Flooring Installation in Frankfort, IL

Engineered hardwood and more in Frankfort

We install engineered hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, laminate and tile, plus stair treads, risers and nosing. Luxury vinyl and tile make up most of what people ask for, but engineered wood is the pick when you want a real wood surface. Each product names how flat the subfloor has to be, and we level, patch or sand to that number before installing. Base, shoe and transitions are part of the price, and we move the furniture and reconnect what we unplug.

We cover Frankfort, coming in on Route 30, Route 45, LaGrange Road and I-80. Wood reacts to humidity, and a Will County year swings from humid summers to dry, heated winters. Engineered hardwood handles that better than solid wood, but it still needs time to sit in the house before installation, an expansion gap at every wall, and a subfloor that is flat and dry. We check the moisture in the subfloor and in the boxes before we start, leave the gap the manufacturer calls for, and hide it under base and shoe.

What a Frankfort hardwood or plank job covers

Acclimation before install

The boxes sit in the house for the time the manufacturer calls for before we open them.

Moisture readings

We check the subfloor and the wood with a meter so they are within range of each other.

Glue, nail or float

We install engineered wood the way the product and your subfloor call for: glued, nailed or floating.

Expansion gap at the walls

The gap wood needs to move gets left at every wall and hidden under trim.

Wood treads and nosing

Wood treads and matching nosing where the floor meets the stairs.

Every edge trimmed

Base, shoe and transitions installed so no edge is left unfinished.

How a Frankfort flooring job runs

We visit for free, measure, take moisture readings and talk through the products that fit your rooms. The written estimate lists prep, the floor, the stairs if you want them, and trim on separate lines. If the old floor comes up and something needs fixing, we price it in writing and wait for your approval. We schedule the delivery so the wood has time to acclimate, start on the date we set, and walk the finished floor with you.

FAQ

Flooring Installation in Frankfort: questions

Is engineered hardwood a good fit for my Frankfort house?

If you want real wood, it is usually the better choice over solid wood because it moves less with humidity. It can also go where solid wood cannot, like over a dry, flat slab. We go over the tradeoffs at the estimate.

How long does an engineered hardwood install take?

The wood sits in the house for a few days first. After that, a living and dining room usually takes two to three days to install and trim. We give you both dates.

Do I need a permit for hardwood floors in Frankfort?

Replacing a floor alone usually does not need one. If the job also includes work that the village of Frankfort requires a permit for, we pull it.

Do you install floors near Frankfort?

Yes. We also take flooring jobs in Mokena, New Lenox and Orland Park.

How do I get an estimate?
