Initial Consultation
Each flooring project begins with a consultation to determine what materials you are choosing for flooring installation. OKC homeowners can choose from a variety of options, like hardwood, tile, vinyl, or laminate. Each option comes with its pros and cons and different price points, so if you're unsure of what to choose, our service professionals are happy to offer expert advice. When choosing an option, we encourage you to consider Oklahoma City's humidity when making your decision, as it can significantly impact the longevity and performance of certain materials.
Site Preparation
Next, we prepare the site for installation. We will remove existing flooring, address any issues with the subfloor, and acclimate wood products to the room's temperature and humidity. Proper preparation is essential for stability and longevity, especially for wood floors susceptible to Oklahoma's climate swings. If you're opting for solid hardwood flooring installation, OKC handyman experts will lay a subfloor of plywood or OSB and check for level and stability. Engineered for wood or vinyl may require less intensive subfloor work.
Go-To Flooring Installation: OKC
Next, our team will plan the floor pattern and align the materials using plumb lines or laser-guided tools, ensuring even spacing and square placement. For wood flooring, mixing planks from different bundles will create and ensure a natural, raw look. We use adhesives for engineered products and nails for solid hardwood. For tile, professionals will apply grout to anchor tiles and prevent potential moisture issues. Unfinished wood floors are sanded and finished seamlessly onsite, often with stain or sealants selected after seeing how the wood looks in place. When working with our flooring installers, North Oklahoma City homeowners can rest assured that they will be kept up to date throughout the entire process. They will communicate with you about how long the installation will take and any potential challenges throughout the flooring project.
