Qualified Laminate Flooring Installers
We recommend using our team of skilled flooring installation professionals when installing your new laminate floors. Truly good installers are hard to find, and we’ve curated a team you can trust with a long history of quality installations in Modesto & our surrounding communities.
Preparation is Essential Before Laminate Installation
- Our installers will likely need to remove your existing flooring. To minimize dust during this process, vacuum your old floors before they’re removed and vacuum the floor thoroughly afterward.
- Decide who will move your furniture, whether it be your responsibility or that of our team. Be sure to remove all fragile items from the room & don’t leave anything hanging on windows or walls.
- We’ll conduct a professional measurement that includes door clearances. If the laminate you’ve chosen will be thicker than your existing floor, be aware that door bottoms may need to be shaved down so they not drag or cause damage.
- If you’re planning to paint, wallpaper, or do any other remodeling in the room, please complete these tasks before your new laminate is installed. Be sure to hold on to your extra paint to touch up any post-installation nicks.
- In general, we’ll recommend that your laminate floors run parallel to windows or, in narrow rooms, to the longest wall.
During & After Laminate Flooring Installation
Here’s the procedure our experienced installation professionals will follow:
- Consider your current floors – laminate can be installed directly over some types of flooring, but others may need to be removed first. Your installers will know what to expect when they arrive & will level out the surface so it’s smooth.
- We’ll conduct moisture testing in the subfloor to prevent potential buckling or cupping down the line.
- We’ll then cut & place your planks or tiles, leaving a perimeter gap to allow for potential expansion.
- If you have an irregularly-shaped room, rest assured that our team will know how to handle all of your odd or tight spaces, including cabinetry or kitchen islands.
Your Floors Plus flooring specialist will consult with you directly about any additional actions we may recommend before the installation of your new laminate floors.
