Starting a flooring project can be intimidating. With so much to think about, including the wide range of flooring materials and flooring companies to choose from, coupled with the actual installation process, it's enough to make you call the whole thing off. However, your home needs floors, and what's more, you deserve the flooring of your dreams. Thankfully, with Mr. Handyman of Wheaton-Hinsdale, you can consider the installation project done. Our thorough process ensures you get the floors you've been dreaming of without the need to fumble through a DIY installation. 

How exactly do we approach flooring installation in Wheaton, IL? It all starts with a conversation with our valued team. Your first call with our friendly customer service representatives will help answer any questions you have about our process and will ensure your service is booked at a time and date that fits your schedule. The actual installation process can take a few days, depending on the size of your project, but with our flooring experts at your side, you can be sure that it will be completed swiftly without error so you can get back to your regular routines sooner. Here's a rundown of how our process works.

Consultation

The first part of our process begins with a thorough consultation of your floors. Whether you are replacing existing flooring or installing it for the first time, we will need to measure your floors and inspect the area where we'll be installing them. We'd also like to understand exactly what you envision as the final result so that when your installation day comes, we can get right to work. At the time of your consultation, you may already have your preferred flooring material picked out, ordered, and ready for installation, but if you don't and would like advice on the right material for your home and needs, just ask. Our flooring experts are more than happy to make recommendations.

Preparation

Once you've scheduled your installation with our team, on your service day, we'll arrive on time, in uniform, ready to get to work. We'll have all of the tools and equipment necessary to complete the job, and if you have existing flooring, we'll start with floor removal. In some cases, installing new flooring over existing flooring is possible, but usually, we will recommend removing it. Once the old floor has been removed, we'll prep the surface by installing an underlayment.

Installation

Now that your subfloor is ready, we can proceed with the actual installation. The installation process will vary from material to material, but you can expect our expert team to deliver an exceptional, flawless result. Whether we're installing a tile on your kitchen floor or carpet in your living room, you can count on us for a job well done. 

Finishing Touches

The finishing touches of a Wheaton flooring installation are what really make your project shine. Applying varnish or floor finish on solid hardwood floors, replacing baseboard trim, and cleaning up any leftover debris will ensure your floors are complete and ready for use. In some cases, such as with tile installation, we recommend that you stay off the tile for 24 hours to ensure the mortar is set. Carpets and laminate flooring can be walked on right away.

Types of Flooring We Can Install

There are many different popular flooring options Wheaton homeowners such as yourself can choose from. Each comes with its own set of advantages, while some may be suited for areas with higher foot traffic. See below for some examples of the types of flooring we can install. 

  • Tile flooring installation: Durable, long-lasting, and incredibly versatile, this affordable option is ideal for high-traffic areas and those exposed to moisture, such as the bathroom, kitchen, and patio. Tile requires minimal maintenance and is an incredibly cost-effective option.
  • Hardwood flooring installation: A beautiful, luxurious option for your entire home. When you opt for a hardwood floor installation, keep in mind that it will require proper care and upkeep than other materials, but this type’s classic look can't be beat.
  • Natural stone flooring installation: A type of tile, natural stone will deliver a luxurious look to your interior spaces. It's a smart choice for bathrooms and patios. Slightly higher in price than other types of flooring, natural stone is durable and long-lasting and can be polished to your liking.
  • Luxury vinyl tile flooring/vinyl plank flooring installation: Vinyl plank or vinyl tile flooring is easy to install. Luxury styles are pricier than others, but they also look closer to real wood or tile. There is generally no maintenance needed for vinyl planks, and repair usually involves replacing the entire plank rather than fixing a crack or chip with epoxy.
  • Laminate wood flooring installation: A synthetic material made with a particle board wood base, laminate wood flooring is printed with an image on top to resemble wood. It's easy to install and maintain and can be quite affordable.

FAQs - Flooring Installation in Wheaton, IL

Do you have questions about flooring installation in Wheaton, IL? We have answers! We've provided answers to a few of our most frequently asked questions below, but if you need any other information along the way, don't hesitate to reach out!

What is the Most Cost-Effective Flooring to Put Down?

Floor installation ranges in price. While smaller projects can be quite affordable, those looking to re-do the flooring in their entire home will be faced with a larger bill that includes higher labor costs due to longer installation times and extra materials. The actual cost of flooring installation will be based on the cost of materials and the complexity of the project (which will determine the amount of time it takes to complete).

The type of flooring you choose to fit the square footage of your space will be the bulk of your project cost, and within each flooring type (i.e., tile, hardwood, vinyl plank, etc.), you'll have a wide variety of options with varying prices. Ceramic and porcelain are cheaper options, while natural stones such as marble and granite are not. 

When looking at the cost of flooring in relation to how long it lasts, tile is by far the most cost-effective. You can get upwards of 100 years of use from tile, whereas you will only get 5-15 from carpet.

How Often Should You Replace Flooring?

It depends on the type of flooring you have chosen for your home and how much traffic the area has seen. High-traffic areas such as the kitchen and entryway will see more damage than areas such as the bedroom, which means you may need to replace your kitchen floors sooner than you will your bedroom. 

You can expect about ten years from your carpet before you need to get it replaced. While some types of tile can last up to 100 years before they begin to break down, daily wear and tear can inflict damage that calls for replacement far before that point. One way to prevent premature replacement is to get repairs as soon as they're needed. Instead of letting a crack turn into a broken tile and putting your subfloor at risk, calling your Wheaton handyman will ensure these smaller issues are addressed promptly.
