Flooring Installation in Wheaton

Flooring installation in Wheaton

Our crew installs luxury vinyl plank and tile, laminate, engineered hardwood, and tile in baths, entries and laundry rooms. The first decision on most jobs is whether the old floor stays or goes. Luxury vinyl can be laid over flat, sound tile or sheet vinyl, which saves tear-out, but it never goes over carpet or an uneven floor. Whatever ends up under the new floor gets checked against the product's flatness spec and leveled, patched or sanded until it passes, and base, shoe and transitions finish the work.

Wheaton is on our regular route, reached by Roosevelt Road and Naperville Road, with Main Street and the Metra station at the center of town and Wheaton College and the Illinois Prairie Path close by. It is the DuPage County seat, next to Glen Ellyn, Carol Stream and Warrenville. When a new floor goes over an old one, the added height shows up at the doors: interior doors may need trimming, and the casings and jambs get undercut so the plank slides under them instead of being caulked around them. We check every door during the estimate so that work is in the price.

What we handle on a Wheaton floor

How we handle a Wheaton flooring job

At a free estimate we look at the current floor, test the doors and tell you whether we can go over what is there or need to take it out. That answer goes into a written scope along with the product, the prep and the trim, and you approve it before we order. If the old floor comes up and the subfloor needs repair, you see it and approve a written price first. We hold to the install days we gave you and walk every room and every door with you when we finish.
