Flooring Installation in Lockport

Lockport flooring on a floor that has moved

We install luxury vinyl plank, tile, laminate and engineered hardwood, along with stair treads, risers and nosing. Every one of those products has a flatness requirement, and a subfloor that misses it makes the floor flex, gap or crack. We find the problem spots with a long straightedge and a laser, then level, patch or sand before we install. Base, shoe and transitions close out each room.

We cover Lockport, working the streets off State Street, Route 7 and Route 171, from downtown Lockport out past the I&M Canal. If your Lockport house has settled over the years, the floors may dip toward the middle of a room or run downhill to one wall. Flat and level are not the same thing: a click floor needs flat, and it can live with a gentle slope, but not a dip it has to bridge. We fill the low areas, grind or sand the high ones, and undercut door jambs so doors still swing over the new floor. Where the slope is big enough to point to a framing problem, we tell you before we cover it.

What a Lockport floor install includes

How a Lockport floor job gets done

We check every room with a laser and a straightedge on the free estimate visit, so the leveling is priced from real measurements. The written estimate shows prep, floor and trim as separate lines. If we pull the old floor and find more than we measured, like a sagging joist, we show you and price it in writing before anything else happens. We hold to the install days we set, then walk the floor with you, open every door and check the transitions.
